Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro Phones Pack Potent Power, but Not for the US

From CNET: Xiaomi's 14 Ultra seriously impressed us with its photography skills, especially when it came to photographing Taylor Swift. Though the company's new 14T and 14T Pro lack the same high-performance camera setup, they still have plenty to offer as all-round Android flagships. Xiaomi doesn't sell its phones in the US, but the 14T, 14T Pro and Xiaomi's new wearables and earbuds will be hitting shelves in the UK and wider Europe in the coming weeks.

Xiaomi refused to confirm pricing ahead of launch, but the base Xiaomi 14 is currently on sale for £849 (about $1,130), while the previous 13T Pro went on sale for around £700 in the UK. I'd expect the 14T Pro to sit closer to the price of the 14, possibly around the £850 mark, with the base 14T costing at least a couple of hundred less. I'll update this article as more information on pricing becomes available.

The 14T Pro is best thought of as Xiaomi's answer to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus. Though it doesn't have the same standout camera as the Ultra, the 14T Pro is aimed at those of you who want a more general high-performance phone with enough power to handle everyday tasks as well as gaming, video streaming and photo editing.

The cameras are the main area in which the 14T Pro differs from the 14 Ultra. While the Ultra retains its position as Xiaomi's ultimate photography-focused phone, the 14T Pro has a more typical camera setup aimed at more casual photographers.
