In the past, Xiaomi's T-series was considered an affordable alternative to the high-end model. In many respects, the smartphones offered upper-class hardware at a mid-range price. However, this has long since come to an end, and today you can easily put 900 euros on the table even for slimmed-down T models from Xiaomi. What do you get for it? Krone+ has the test.

Xiaomi markets its top budget model, the Xiaomi 14T Pro, as a photo smartphone for those who don't want to spend four-figure sums on a device with a Leica camera. Compared to the Xiaomi 14 models that were launched in spring and cost between 1100 and 1500 euros (RRP), 900 euros may indeed seem cheaper. However, you have to make some compromises compared to the models already available. You can find out what these are and which device we would recommend instead in our full test report.
