Every fall (or autumn, depending on which English you prefer), Xiaomi launches a couple of new "T" models - high-end devices that are not quite the top of the line, but close. Last year we had the 13T and 13T Pro, and so this year the 14T and 14T Pro should follow. Today a new leak has emerged giving us some details about these two upcoming devices. Let's start with the Pro. This one is said to be based on the upcoming Redmi K70 Ultra for the Chinese market. That being said, it won't be a straight-up rebrand, as the 14T Pro will have some upgrades compared to the model it will be based on.
Both will be powered by the MediaTek
Dimensity 9300 SoC, but the 14T Pro will have wireless charging for the first
time in the T series and a telephoto camera on the back - both things missing
from the K70 Ultra (which will opt for a macro cam instead of tele). The 14T
Pro will also have Leica co-branding just like its predecessor, while its Redmi
sibling will skip on that to keep the price lower.
The Xiaomi 14T and Xiaomi 14T Pro will
both be offered in Europe, Japan, and other markets but not India. This isn't
anything new, it's the way things have always been for the T series, but the
point here is that distribution won't change. In Japan, Softbank will be
offering the duo. The Xiaomi 14T is likely to use a Dimensity 8000 series SoC,
since the 13T went that route too. Other than that, the only difference between
it and the 13T Pro is charging - the Pro got 120W, while the 'vanilla' model
settled for 67W. Something similar might happen again this year, and we
wouldn't be surprised if the 14T skips wireless charging too, in order to make
the Pro a tiny bit easier to stand out.
