The Leica-powered Xiaomi 14T Pro is an excellent smartphone for photography, although not without its limitations.
The Xiaomi 14T Pro is a smartphone that takes better photos than the price indicates, pushing this device into something performative between mid-range and flagship territory. Xiaomi’s T Series continues to mature, and the partnership with Leica is a driving factor.
The 14T Pro also charges much faster than other phones in its price range, taking just 19 minutes to fully recharge with the 120W HyperCharge charger, though you don’t get one in the box. It’s also the first T Series phone to support wireless charging — faster than just about anything else — so long as you have a wireless charger that can handle rates up to 50W.
As I noted in my hands-on, Xiaomi offers a 2x crop factor for the main camera for a 46mm equivalent but doesn’t give it to you in the 50MP mode. Portrait mode gives you 23mm, 35mm, 60mm, and 75mm options and bokeh effects you can choose automatically or set manually. There’s even exposure compensation, should you want to play around with that.
What works with the telephoto is that you can use it for full-res images, manual controls, and portraits. While its 2.6x/60mm length doesn’t make it especially long, since it’s not a periscope lens, good photos in full-res can enable you to crop in just a little further. The same exposed light issues affect this lens as well, so you’re not immune when zooming in, though it’s easier to avoid them when you frame your subject the right way.
