Xiaomi 14T Pro

Xiaomi 14T Pro unboxing

The new Xiaomi 14T duo has finally been unveiled and we are in for a treat with the new generation of Leica-boosted photography, flagship-grade performance, Dolby Vision OLEDs, and much more. Today we are going to explore the beefed-up Xiaomi 14T Pro model, a worthy successor to the 13T Pro.

While the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of top-tier Xiaomi phones is Leica photography, it is not the only highlight feature of the 14T Pro. The new model has a signature curved glass back with metal-like colorways, matching its metal frame. It is IP68-rated too, as the previous model.

Next up is the 6.67-inch CrystalRes AMOLED display, which appears to be the same as on the 13T Pro - 1220p, 144Hz, 12-bit color depth, Dolby Vision. This year it has higher peak brightness though - up to 4,000 nits.

The chipset is now the Dimensity 9300+, up from 9200+, which brings a faster processor with newer cores and more powerful graphics with more 3D features.

The Xiaomi 14T Pro ships into a suspiciously thinner than usual box, though not as thin as an iPhone or a Galaxy one to suggest there is no charger inside.

Unfortunately, we were surprised to find the EU box contains no charger. There is one large paper compartment that packs a dark gray silicone case and a USB-A-C cable. Then comes the phone laying on a thick paper bed.
