Xiaomi 14T vs. 14T Pro
You are in the market for an upper-midrange phone or just a solid all-rounder, and you are bound to find this year's Xiaomi 14T Series enticing. But it's hard to tell the Xiaomi 14T and the Xiaomi 14T Pro apart, which makes it even harder to decide which one to get.
And yet, the 14T Pro asks for a serious price premium over the vanilla 14T. At the time of writing, the price difference is around â¬150-200. A non-trivial difference, weâd say. So let's see what it has to offer on top of the already excellent Xiaomi 14T.

For starters, you can compare the complete specs sheets or directly continue with our editor's assessment in the following video or in the text further down below.
The spec sheets alone can't tell the whole story, so let's take a deeper dive and see what's beneath the surface.
Size comparison
Size-wise, the 14T and 14T Pro are basically twins. They've got the same screen diagonal, height and width. The vanilla 14T is ever so slightly thinner, probably due to it missing a wireless charging coil, but it is more than ten grams lighter.
The difference in weight could probably be mainly attributed to the fact that the 14T Pro has an aluminum frame, whereas the 14T settles for an all-plastic one. Then again, the 14T's middle frame (the structure beneath what you can see and touch) is die-cast aluminum.
Still, that doesn't mean the 14T feels cheap. Both devices have very nice builds and the matte glass surface on the standard 14T is pretty nice to touch. Some may even find the boxy frame with straight sides more appealing and providing a more secure grip. Others will like the more rounded angles of the 14T Pro.
With both phones, you get Panda-X Glass on the back panels. The 14T is confirmed to use Gorilla Glass 5 for the display but Xiaomi is yet to confirm officially what front glass the 14T Pro is using.
Display comparison
The 14T and 14T Pro share the same display - 6.67-inch with all the bells and whistles like HDR10+ support, 16-bit color depth and 144Hz refresh rate.
The tests show it too. Both panels reach 1,200-1,300 nits, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience outdoors.
