Xiaomi 14T Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi 14T - the best at the turn of price segments

The Chinese company Xiaomi definitely knows how to make smartphones of any price category. Representatives of the flagship line with the T index are extremely interesting for many users. They try to retain most of the functionality of more expensive models, but at the same time have a more democratic price tag. And the hero of today's review perfectly continues the traditions of the series.

The appearance of the new product is quite relevant and devoid of obvious shortcomings. Perhaps, only the plastic edging can slightly upset, and the original block of photo modules, beautiful glass colors, thin screen frames, reasonable thickness of the case with moisture protection according to IP68 standards, an under-screen fingerprint scanner make up the list of advantages of the device. The 6.67-inch AMOLED panel has a good resolution of 2712x1220 pixels for its diagonal, a high refresh rate of 144 Hz, an impressive brightness reserve of 4000 nits, and natural color rendition. The absence of a PWM effect and a high-quality oleophobic layer complement all of the above.

The technical characteristics include the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra CPU, 12 GB of RAM, and the Mai G615MP6 video chip, which have proven themselves in the Poco X6 Pro. The bundle is very productive (about 1,300,000 points in the AnTuTu test), all existing games will function at maximum or close to them graphics presets. Throttling is not particularly pronounced, and the energy efficiency is decent. It is easy to get more than 8-9 hours of active screen time from a 5000 mAh battery. There is no wireless charging, but its wired counterpart is characterized by a power of as much as 67W. The permanent memory can be 256, 512 or 1024 GB of ROM format UFS 4.0.

Photo capabilities have noticeably advanced compared to those of its predecessor. The main 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 module with hybrid stabilization, a telephoto lens with a three-fold optical zoom of the same 50 MP, a 13-megapixel wide-angle lens perform much better in low-light conditions. Both an increase in detail and a decrease in the amount of noise are noticeable. The stereo sound is rich, voluminous, and quite loud. Of course, the gadget could not do without 5G support, NFC contactless payments, an IR port for controlling household appliances, and a well-developed HyperOS shell (Android 14). Thus, the device has every chance of becoming another hit of the corporation.
