Conclusion
The phone’s performance is impressively swift, matching the capabilities of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, as shown in earlier performance metrics. I did notice a bit of warmth while holding the device, which may be worth considering.
When it comes to photography, the night scene shots are exceptionally clear, with a default bokeh effect enhancing the images. It’s remarkable how the camera can capture such high-quality photos in almost complete darkness with minimal exposure time.
For video recording, users can choose between standard and HDR10+ formats. The 4K video quality remains steady even without a gimbal (though Steady Video mode is available for 1080p recordings), similar to the Xiaomi 14 we evaluated a few months back. Additionally, the MasterCinema mode allows for high-dynamic-range 10-bit Rec.2020 videos, though editing such content may require a powerful PC and specialized software.
In summary, the Xiaomi 14T Pro retains all the desirable features of the Xiaomi 14 Series, with the most notable updates being its processor choice and the addition of enhanced AI capabilities.
With a more affordable price compared to other smartphones equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Xiaomi 14T Pro is likely to attract users seeking these advanced features, currently offered primarily by Samsung and Google, without the hefty price tag.
