Xiaomi 14T review: Leica triple camera and 144 Hz, minus the Pro's wireless charging.
The Leica camera, for less.
14T keeps the part of the 14T Pro that matters most to buyers — the Leica-tuned triple camera and the 144 Hz screen — and removes wireless charging and the 120 W brick to hit $649. For anyone who would never have used 120 W anyway, it is the smarter half of the pair.
