Xiaomi\u2019s 15 flagship<\/span> range won\u2019t arrive in most of the world until early 2025. In the meantime, we get a midyear update to the 14 range in the shape of the 14T and 14T Pro, though neither bears much relation to the Xiaomi 14<\/a> or 14 Ultra. The Chinese manufacturer overtook Apple in August to become the world\u2019s second-biggest smartphone brand by sales, and its expansive (if slightly confusing) range is no doubt part of the reason.<\/p>\n

The T range packs some high-end features from Xiaomi\u2019s flagships, but there are usually a few omissions to bring the price down. You may struggle to spot the difference between the 14T and 14T Pro because these phones are practically twins, but there are some subtle refinements to justify the 14T Pro\u2019s higher price. Both come with Google services and are available in the UK and across Europe, but will not officially go on sale in the US.<\/p>\n

Nice but Dull<\/h2>\n

At first glance, you will struggle to tell the 14T and 14T Pro apart. These are ultrasize phones with 6.67-inch screens. They have relatively thick, flat frames, textured power buttons underneath the volume rocker, and quad camera lenses (one is actually the flash) in stepped, square modules on the back. Pick them up, and you immediately feel the weight of the heavier, more metallic Pro, with its subtly curved back (the 14T is flat on the back).<\/p>\n

The only other design difference that jumps out is the colors. Both come in blue, black, or gray, but only the 14T comes in Lemon Green. Why are fun colors<\/a> always reserved for cheaper phones? The 14T Pro feels nicer and reminds me of an old HTC phone (in a good way), but there isn\u2019t much to separate them.<\/p>\n
