Dimensity 9300 Brings Top-Notch Performance

Xiaomi 14T Pro laconic

The Xiaomi 14T Pro is a front runner handset from the Chinese brand that follows the 2nd semester’s refresh cycle. As usual, it inoculations to bargain a front runner ordeal at a marginal price juncture, as well as like via its predecessor, the handset beginnings at €799.00 in Europe, via zero schemes for a launch in the US.

For that silver, Xiaomi bargains a uninfluenced package of standards, involving a immense as well as difficult OLED brandish that refreshes at upward to 144 Hz, 12 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, 3 storage suspension recourses rising as well as loss from 256 GB to 1 TB, a triple camera installment via the guidance of Xiaomi’s attach Leica, as well as a Dimensity 9300+ chip from MediaTek. Recharging can reach 120 W, yet polymorphous past Xiaomi models, the essential adapter is not entailed in the box.

Tenacious, immense-weighed handset

With the never ever before-ending up needs for immense displays, the Xiaomi 14T Pro is an additional handset from the brand to make usage of a 6.67-inch OLED panel. The brandish dictates the on the entirety build of the handset, via slim bezels about it, as well as ample liberty in the back for the triple camera part.

Pros:

• Nice build attribute.
• Luminous as well as centralized brandish.
• Prices genuinely feel.
• IR gun.
• IP68 rating.

Disadvantages:

• Zero headphone jack or microSD stabilize.

Determining 160.4 x 75.1 x 8.39 mm via a weight of 209 grams, the Xiaomi 14T Pro genuinely feels tenacious in the hand, via a sweet grasp. The handset is obtainable in gray, blue, as well as black incongruities (unanimously prefixed “Titan” in advertising as well as advertising wares), via a textured glass back that keeps largely conserve of fingerprints.

The flat sides went back from the previous generation, as nicely as the alignment of unanimously switches on the right side, in uncomplicated-to-reach positions—via a textured power switch to remain clear of miscues.

The optimal services a microphone as well as the classic IR gun, via the other microphone on the foundation finish, beside the USB-C satire, as well as the dual SIM card tray—there is likewise stabilize for eSIM. The left side is vacant. And also ultimately, there is a safety as well as security vessel in the box, which is always welcome.

The OLED brandish dominates the front via little bezels about it. Our checkup gizmos (one blue as well as one black) came via a supervise protector pre-applied, yet it was naturally off-center in one of the equipments.

Xiaomi estimates a 4000 nits optimal illumination, something that we couldn’t attest, yet the supervise was usable under daylight without hardships. Shade recreation as well as heeding angles were spick-as well as-expectancy (OLED panels are pretty much a goods these days).

The flat brandish on the Xiaomi 14T Pro bargains equal requirements to the handset’s predecessor: 2712×1220 resolution, a centralized 144 Hz refresh price, yet zero LTPO innovation for auxiliary power savings, only an recourse for a mended 60 Hz seating.

HyperOS via its ups as well as downs

Powered by HyperOS 1.0.5.0 over Android 14, the 14T Pro handset lugs the usual pros as well as cons of Xiaomi’s interface, via multiple third-party apps as well as promotions, yet numbers of modification recourses.

Pros:

• Fluid as well as customized.
• Much shorter installment than before (feat. Google).

Disadvantages:

• Bloatware as well as promotions.
• Much shorter streamline scheme than rivals.

One confident juncture in the Xiaomi 14T Pro make usage of came right in the initially installment. Reportedly, Google restructured the process to hold off non-leading edicts counting on the borrower’s smorgasbords. The initially supervise still grips the availability recourses, yet we detected the process more centralized from there.

The EU-mandated default browser as well as hunt array, for example, were ferried to the short blog post-installment edicts, with each other via Assistant placements. The amend can be tied to Google (the Pixel 9 family showed equal creations) as well as we expect to surf through it reaching the entire Android district.

After modernizing the apps on a fresh install via default placements, we counted 12 third-party apps as well as 34.8 GB of supplied storage suspension, something that not even front runner Xiaomi mobile phones are immune to.

An additional common demeaning juncture is the figure of notifications as well as promotions unanimously over the interface, for which my colleague Antoine wrote a attentive overview to unspoiled upward as well as make the handset yours. Promotions even reached the “Supplemental apps” folder on the abode supervise, via pointers of secondary apps to install.

Xiaomi marketed most AI services, real to any 2024 handset, yet most of them were unavailable during the review. The spokesperson vowed that most of them were going to be supplied via an streamline on launch day (AKA as you are analysis this).

One exemption we can checkup was AI captions, which worked alright via the media we experienced. Gemini AI services are likewise onboard, via the perfunctory Gemini app already pre-sported, as well as Circle to Scour vowed via an streamline in October.

Last yet not the genuinely least, Xiaomi warranties 5 years of safety as well as security enriches as well as four years of mechanism upgrades to the 14T Pro. The scheme is superb enough for most individuals yet still lags behind selections from Google as well as Samsung in the same price variety.

Nice substantiating from the Dimensity 9300+ CPU

The Xiaomi 14T Pro avoids the spokesperson’s long relationship via Qualcomm to make usage of the rival MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ SoC. On optimal of that, there is plenty of RAM as well as storage suspension to bargain snappy performance. Betting, singularly, is not the handset’s energetic juncture.

Pros:

• Nice CPU performance.
• Nice thermal management.
• Steady GPU via Ray Tracing stabilize.

Disadvantages:

• Disappointing GPU performance.

In our tests, using the interface, apps, searching the net, as well as snatching pics, the Dimensity chip implemented on the same level via any other front runner cpu in the Android district.

Despite using the same cores detected on the rival Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Dimensity 9300 simply missed performance cores as well as undertook four Cortex-X4 performance cores as well as four Cortex-A720 uninfluenced cores, instead of the 1+5 installment on the Qualcomm chip, which adds 2 performance cores (A520).

While we hesitation most individuals will ever before alert a discussion between the 2 chips, the Dimensity 9300+ outdistanced our leading CPU Geekbench by a commendable margin, while only throwing away in the AnTuTu checkup to an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on the alcove RedMagic 9S Pro Casi experienced a few months back.

Unchanged cannot be said about gaming performance, singularly, in spite of the Xiaomi 14T Pro using ARM’s front runner GPU core, the Immortalis-G720. The GPU—via 12 cores on the Dimensity chip—is proportionate via unanimously the latest services, involving ray tracing (RT) stabilize.

In habit, singularly, the Xiaomi 14T Pro didn’t sprinted arcades much much closer than the Pixel 9 Pro via a more folksy 7 cores of the older generation ARM Mali-G715 GPU. Functionality was seamlessly alright in titles such as Call of Chore Handset or Genshin Inspire, yet the 3DMark seniorities confirms the chip’s difficulty beside the Snapdragon’s Adreno GPU.

By default, the Xiaomi 14T Pro comes package at a “Well uninfluenced” performance account, yet the creations using the “Functionality” seating—package at the Battery placements—were within the margin of misstep. The Functionality seating can be labelled by a blue battery icon via a dual arrowhead in the stature pub.

Regardless of performance seating, the Xiaomi 14T Pro juggled the fever nicely, via zero draconian warmth generation—which was a top priority iwe detected in older mobile phones from the brand. We were initially vexed that the inclusion of only performance cores would most clearly affect thermals as well as security, yet Xiaomi as well as MediaTek (as well as TSMC) did a superb work here.

Xiaomi 14T Pro camera

With a real triple camera installment, the Xiaomi 14T Pro bargains the usual package of cams for a front runner handset: A leading sensing contraption via 50 megapixels, an ultra-wide menisci via 12 MP, as well as a 2.6x telephoto via 50 megapixels. On optimal of that, Xiaomi adds its play unclean of AI services plus picture processing as well as themes from its Leica colleagues.

Pros:

• Convenient camera.
• Confident 10x magnification inoculations.
• Plenty of picture modes as well as filters.
• Gorgeous night inoculations.

Disadvantages:

• Inconsistent colors between lenses.

Despite not using the immense 1-inch sensing gizmos from its Ultra play unclean, Xiaomi did a superb work on the 14T Pro’s cams, via a superb dose of guidance from Leica’s color processing (or “science”, if you spend time on electronic photography sites).

The leading camera is powered by a proprietary 1/1.3’’-measurement “Light Combination 900” sensing contraption, which is labelled as OV50H40 in equipment (basing an OmniVision sensing contraption). It implemented genuinely nicely in our tests, via a sweet level of veracity as well as intensity, as well as sensible color recreation.

The camera app bargains 2 photographic themes for the back cams: Leica Genuine as well as Vibrant. With the initially one resulting in more “moodier” images, as well as the 2nd one via a little fragment more strike (yet not on the same stuffed extents detected in Pixel or Galaxy inoculations). Unless listed, unanimously inoculations were pilfered via the “Leica Vibrant” seating.

Ultra-wide inoculations famously owned intimately polymorphous color processing, resulting in more stuffed as well as brighter images (perhaps recompensing the much smaller sized OV13B10 sensing contraption likewise from OmniVision). I must say, singularly, that in multiple vessels, the “overprocessed” ultra-wide inoculations would most clearly win over the leading camera pics in blind tests.

The 2.6x telephoto menisci, simultaneously, tended to be more recurring via the leading camera. And also while it famously implemented genuinely close to the 2x electronic magnification from the leading camera, it made it possible for to go even further, via usable run out outcomes at 5x or 10x magnifications in daylight.

Night electronic photography likewise owned some superb run out outcomes from the leading as well as telephoto cams. Whizzing in famously introduces electronic artefacts, as well as the ultra-wide camera famously can’t press enough light. However between the 2 50 MP cams, run out outcomes were largely sharp via a superb level of veracity as well as retaining light resources under control.

We likewise took image inoculations during the night, using both themes obtainable on the Picture seating: Leica Picture as well as Wizard Picture. Side tab: Picture electronic photography is reportedly on the spurt in China, via both Xiaomi as well as Celebrate advertising the seating heavily in their wares, yet back to the review.

Without any kind of image electronic photography ordeal (or workshop lights), we didn’t have the optimum maladies for summarizing the images, yet unexpurgated quantity we picked to dabble via the recourses. Wizard Picture went back more sensible run out outcomes, while Leica Picture much closer stressed the subject from the background. And also both themes positioned spick-as well as-expectancy subject divorce.

Selfie inoculations were likewise superb—not as much as via the back cams, though—yet wear’t bargain the same Leica or image themes. Skin tone as well as texture were sensible, as well as the default recourses are conserve from the draconian processing from “Looker brunts”.

Xiaomi 14T Pro battery

With a 5000 mAh battery possibility, the Xiaomi 14T Pro bargains enough battery vigor for an entire day of make usage of, perhaps 2 for more thrifty consumers. Xiaomi’s stress is again once it comes to charging, via 120 W wired as well as 50 W wireless, yet zero charger entailed in the box.

Pros:

• Speedy charging via or without wires.

Disadvantages:

Xiaomi ultimately caved in to the sector as well as steered clear of bundling a charger via the Xiaomi 14T Pro. A real pity, provided that the handset is capable of genuinely rapid charging times via a proportionate HyperCharger 120 adapter. Merely preserve in mind to mobilize the essential “Optimal pace” charging seating if you are in a escapade.

With the default recourse, we got a charging time of 32 minutes. Swivelling on Optimal pace seating slumped that time to 25 minutes, via a 50% penalty in simply 10 minutes.

Not only that, the handset can likewise be recharged wirelessly via a proprietary 50 W stand or at a marginal input power via any perfunctory Qi charger. There is zero overturn wireless charging on the Xiaomi 14T Pro, singularly (at the genuinely least via the experienced firmware).

Xiaomi 14T Pro technical standards

Final verdict

The Xiaomi 14T Pro bargains a unsure equilibrium of services as well as equipment for the price. The performance as well as borrower ordeal run away brutally nothing to be longed once contrasted to its rivals in the same price variety, other than perhaps for those who focus on AAA gaming on their mobile phones.

The spokesperson’s investment in electronic photography over the past years already showed spick-as well as-expectancy run out outcomes in 2023 as well as the neoteric handset is an additional superb reaction onward in the sector, via a sweet package both in equipment as well as software. It offers inexpensive inoculations without having to make usage of pricey considerable sensing gizmos or lenses.

Colleague bargain

Recharging is again a stress in the handset, yet the noninclusion of the charger in the box is a unfortunate fantasy, as the 120 W adapter is essential to capture advantage of the amenity. An additional predicament is the the quantity of bloatware as well as promotions in the mechanism, yet at this juncture, we picture that Xiaomi clients unfortunately capture that for provided.

In the run out, while we can’t advise the Xiaomi 14T Pro as an upgrade for someone via a recent front runner, it is a superb recourse to ponder if you have an older high-run out handset or are sifting to reaction upward from any mid-variety handset.
