    Xiaomi 14T vs 14T Pro: DxOMark Says Pro Upgrade Not Worth It

    The Xiaomi 14T and Xiaomi 14T Pro were launched last week and are now available for purchase in Germany. The Xiaomi 14T is priced at EUR 649, while the Xiaomi 14T Pro starts at EUR 799. Customers can upgrade from the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra to the Dimensity 9300+ for an additional EUR 150. This upgrade also includes faster charging capabilities, with 120 watts instead of 67 watts, 50 watts of wireless fast charging, and enhancements to the camera system.

    Camera Specifications

    The Xiaomi 14T features a 50 MP f/1.7 main camera with a 1/1.56-inch sensor and a 50 MP f/1.9 telephoto camera that has a focal length of 50 mm. In contrast, the Xiaomi 14T Pro comes equipped with a 50 MP f/1.6 main camera featuring a larger 1/1.31-inch sensor, along with a 50 MP telephoto camera that has a 60 mm f/2.0 lens. Both models share a 12 MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle camera. According to a detailed review by DxOMark, the Xiaomi 14T received a score of 134, while the Pro version scored slightly higher at 135. These scores place them at 45th and 49th on the list of best-performing smartphones.

    Comparison with Competitors

    These scores place the Xiaomi 14T series on par with notable competitors like the Apple iPhone 14, Google Pixel 6 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. However, the Leica cameras in the Xiaomi 14T series struggle to match the performance of more recent flagship devices. The Xiaomi 14T is praised for its natural color reproduction, accurate skin tones, impressive depth of field, precise white balance, and sharp photos and videos in well-lit conditions.

    Low Light Performance

    In low-light situations, though, the devices exhibit significant image noise despite strong noise reduction efforts that can compromise detail. The dynamic range is relatively limited, and a color cast may appear in dim lighting. Additionally, highlights in the background can appear unnaturally rendered in portrait mode. For video recording, DxOMark points out issues with inconsistent skin tones and fluctuations in exposure and white balance from frame to frame under certain conditions.

  • Xiaomi 14T Series Won’t Include Chargers Like Samsung’s Approach

    Xiaomi 14T Series Won’t Include Chargers Like Samsung’s Approach

    Xiaomi is preparing to unveil the Xiaomi 14T series globally this week, with the official launch set for September 26, 2024. However, there is a notable change regarding what will be included in the box with the new devices. Following the trend set by Samsung and Apple, Xiaomi plans to exclude the charger from the package.

    Xiaomi 14T Series: No Charger Included?

    According to a tip from @chunvn8888 on X (formerly Twitter), the Xiaomi 14T and Xiaomi 14T Pro will not come with a charger in the box, particularly in Southeast Asian markets. Buyers in regions such as Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam will only receive the smartphones and a charging cable without the charger.

    A Shift in Industry Practices

    Apple was the first major company to remove a charger from its product packaging, citing environmental concerns. Initially, Samsung criticized Apple for this decision but later adopted a similar approach. The brand Nothing has also chosen to eliminate chargers from its packaging. Now, it appears that Xiaomi is joining this trend, which may significantly impact consumer choices regarding the new Xiaomi devices.

    This change could be pivotal for the future of smartphone launches from the Chinese tech giant. If this practice holds true, it’s likely that the upcoming high-end models will also be sold without chargers. Recently, leaked renders have unveiled the complete design of the Xiaomi 14T Pro, and we’ve provided an in-depth overview of what to expect from the Xiaomi 14T series. Even before its launch, the Xiaomi 14T has appeared on various certification sites like NBTC and GeekBench, with details about its specifications and pricing already leaked.

    Xiaomi 14T Series: Leaked Camera Features Revealed

    Preparations for the Xiaomi 14T series are complete, with an anticipated launch in the near future. While detailed information on the smartphones remains scarce, new specifications continue to leak daily. The XiaomiTime team has revealed the camera specifications for the Xiaomi 14T series.

    Camera Specifications

    The Xiaomi 14T Pro will be equipped with the same Omnivision OV50H sensor as the Xiaomi 14. This marks a significant upgrade from the Chinese version, the Redmi K70 Ultra, which utilized the Sony IMX906 sensor.

The series will feature a triple rear camera system, with the flagship Xiaomi 14T Pro incorporating the Omnivision OV50H sensor, also present in the Xiaomi 14 model. The Chinese variant, Redmi K70 Ultra, initially came with the IMX906 sensor, but this change allows the Xiaomi 14T Pro to capture superior photos and videos.

    Additionally, the Xiaomi 14T Pro will include a different telephoto camera from its Chinese counterpart. The Ultra Wide Angle camera also differs significantly. The Xiaomi 14T Pro boasts a 50MP Samsung SK5JN1 Telephoto and a 13MP Omnivision OV13B Ultra Wide Angle sensor. This camera arrangement indicates a collaboration with Leica.

    Xiaomi 14T Camera Details

    The Xiaomi 14T shares similar camera specifications, with the primary difference being the IMX906 sensor, a downgrade from the 14T Pro. This sensor is also used in the Chinese version of the Xiaomi 14T Pro. No changes are expected in the telephoto and ultra-wide angle cameras. Both devices are anticipated to have a Samsung S5KKD1 front camera sensor. XiaomiTime has thoroughly analyzed this information, providing a trustworthy source.

This suggests a 50MP main sensor through pixel binning. The front camera is likely to feature an f/2.0 aperture and capture 8.1MP pixel-binned images. Leica co-branding could also be present, similar to Xiaomi’s flagship models.

    Processor and Features

  • Xiaomi & Tianma Partner for Upcoming Xiaomi 14T Series

    Xiaomi & Tianma Partner for Upcoming Xiaomi 14T Series

    Millions of users are eager to know when the Xiaomi 14T series will be unveiled. Recently, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun posed a question about the expectations for the new T series smartphones, indicating that the release of the Xiaomi 14T series might be near. According to a recent discovery by Gizmochina, the Xiaomi HyperOS source code reveals that the Xiaomi 14T Pro will feature a Tianma display. The previous Xiaomi 13T Pro offered three storage variants with CSOT OLED and one with Tianma OLED. This tradition may continue with the new series.

    Partnership with Tianma

    The Xiaomi 14T series displays will be manufactured in collaboration between Xiaomi and Tianma. Previous leaks have already revealed the specifications for the Xiaomi 14T series, but now it’s clear which company will supply the displays. Tianma will produce the displays for the Xiaomi 14T series, although TCL might also supply panels for some variants. For instance, TCL provided display panels for three variants of the Xiaomi 13T Pro, while Tianma supplied the panel for another variant. This pattern may continue, but no definitive information is available yet. The only confirmed detail is the partnership with Tianma for this series.

    NovaTek 72335 SPI Chip

    Xiaomi tested the NovaTek 72335 SPI chip using a line of code on a smartphone with the codename “rothko_global.” All Tianma panels utilize the NovaTek display controller, and since the codename “rothko” is linked to the Xiaomi 14T Pro, it confirms that the 14T Pro’s displays will be produced by Tianma. However, this may not apply to all variants of the device.

    MediaTek Flagship Processors

    The Xiaomi 14T series will be powered by MediaTek's flagship processors. The top model, Xiaomi 14T Pro, will feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor. Additionally, wireless charging support will be introduced in the T series for the first time, making the new series even more appealing. While the Xiaomi 14T series is expected to be launched in August, the official release date has yet to be announced.
