Xiaomi 14 series will let you to have extra 8 GB storage space if you have a 256 GB phone, and if you have a device with 512 GB of storage, you’ll get an extra 16 GB storage. If you’re curious why Xiaomi has done this this, it’s worth noting that MIUI has gained a reputation among users for being excessively bloated.

Xiaomi’s aims develop a completely new, lightweight user interface while maximizing storage capacity for users. In the past, Xiaomi had allowed users to uninstall certain system applications. According to Xiaomi’s official statements, the new refinements on HyperOS (MIUI) are expected to provide users with approximately 30 GB extra storage compared to other OEMs. By shrinking the space occupied by HyperOS (MIUI), allowing users to uninstall some system apps and the brand new storage expansion, Xiaomi phones will have more available storage compared to other phone manufacturers.

The older Xiaomi phones will not get the storage expansion feature and we might see this feature on the smartphones made by other manufacturers in the future.

Xiaomi 13T comes with a 6.67-inch 1.5K 144 Hz OLED display. Additionally, Xiaomi 13T boasts a display with a brightness of 2600 nits, which means it is brighter than the displays found on most of the flagship devices in 2023.

Xiaomi 13T comes with a 50 MP Sony IMX 707 sensor for its main camera (1/1.28″ in size), an 8 MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 2x 50 MP telephoto camera. Despite having the Sony IMX 707 sensor, Xiaomi 13T, does not support 4K60 video recording unfortunately. It does offer 4K30 video recording, but you’ll need to switch to FHD resolution to record at 60 FPS. Note that the main camera has OIS.

With its flagship-level display and a decent camera setup, Xiaomi 13T looks to be a competitive phone this year.

Last year, Xiaomi 12T series featured both Snapdragon and MediaTek chipset. Xiaomi 12T Pro came with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. However, this year, both the 13T and 13T Pro come with MediaTek chipsets. We’re not claiming that the Dimensity 9200+ is a bad processor, but this may disappoint some Snapdragon lovers.

Just like the vanilla Xiaomi 13T, the 13T Pro also comes with a 50 MP Sony IMX 707 sensor for the main camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 2x 50 MP Omnivision OV50D telephoto camera. What 13T Pro can do but the vanilla model can’t is the 10-bit LOG video recording.

What do you think about the pricing of Xiaomi 13T series? Would you consider buying any of these phones?

The 3C certification indicates that the upcoming MDY-14-EC charger is set to be used for the device with the model number 23127PN0CC, delivering a maximum output of 90W. As previously detailed in our earlier article, we confirmed that the device identified by the model number ‘23127PN0CC’ corresponds to the standard Xiaomi 14. The charger to be offered with Xiaomi 14 is capable of delivering a maximum output of 90W within the voltage range of 5-20V, at current levels ranging from 6.1-4.5A.

It’s worth noting that 90W charging isn’t the fastest charging speed available for Xiaomi smartphones. However, due to various factors affecting the manufacturing of phones, the fastest charging option may not be suitable for every model. The vanilla Xiaomi 14 will feature a compact design, akin to its predecessor Xiaomi 13.

Since there is not much free space inside the compact phones, smartphone manufacturers can sacrifice charging speed. Xiaomi 13 with a 6.36-inch compact display came with a 4500 mAh battery and 67W fast charging. Xiaomi 14 is known to have 90W fast charging, but the battery capacity is still a mystery.
