Xiaomi 14T with Leica cameras gets a sweet price drop in Nepal

Xiaomi 14T was Xiaomi's first "T" series phone to launch in Nepal. It features Leica cameras like the Xiaomi 15 series, alongside some other interesting specs. And it just got a little more affordable in Nepal. So let's discuss the Xiaomi 14T in further detail in this article, along with its latest official price in Nepal.

Xiaomi 14T Overview

Camera

The cameras are surely the main highlight of both the Xiaomi 14T Series. The company spends a great deal of time talking about the imaging aspect of these phones on the promo material. The two phones also have a pretty similar camera setup.

That being said, the primary shooter here is a 50MP Leica main camera. The base model, Xiaomi 14T, has a Sony IMX906 sensor underneath. The auxiliary lenses include a 50MP telephoto and a 12MP ultrawide shooter.

In terms of a telephoto lens, the Xiaomi 14T offers a 50mm equivalent focal length. Meanwhile, the ultrawide shooter appears to be the same as the 14T Pro. It's the same story for the selfie snapper, which is a 32MP unit.

Given that this phone is also a Leica partnership, it gets to enjoy exclusive Leica filters and aesthetics. The phone also utilizes the entirety of the SoC, including CPU, GPU, NPU, and ISP, through Xiaomi HyperOS to offer better image processing.

Additionally, the video side of things is no sleeper either. You can record videos with 10-bit depth, Rec. 2020 gamut, and in HLG format. On top of that, there are features like Cinematic Blur, Rack Focus, and Director Mode as well.

AI, of course

Moving on to the AI, which is another key highlight of the Xiaomi 14T series. So, the Xiaomi 14T comes with Google Gemini, which brings direct interaction capability with third-party apps. The AI also understands the context of photos and what is happening on the screen. Furthermore, these phones now get Galaxy AI-like features, including Circle to Search, AI Interpreter, AI Notes, AI Recorder, and AI subtitles.

The Interpreter feature translates language live, on call, and in meetings, too. The Recorder can be used for transcription and summary generation. Likewise, the phone understands and generates subtitles for the media you're playing on it. You can even copy those subtitles onto Notes. Moreover, the Xiaomi 14T phones tap into AI for image and video editing as well.

Design and Display

The latest Xiaomi semi-flagship phone has a similar design to its predecessor. The camera cutouts are more pronounced and cleaner, while the rest of the aesthetic remains unchanged. It is available in Titan Grey, Titan Blue, Titan Black, and Lemon Green colors with IP68 water and dust resistance. The latter has a PU leather finish, half of which is made of actual lemon fibers.

The screen on this phone is pretty much the same as the Xiaomi 13T series; however, the company markets it as a “Next-generation 144Hz AI display”. Given that, it is a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.

So, what's the AI for?

The screen automatically adjusts the color temperature and brightness according to the usage scenario and time, ensuring better eye health and visual experience. Xiaomi also mentions that the 14T phones have AI touch control and AI video but does not elaborate on what it is about.

Other than that, you get a touch sampling rate of up to 480Hz, PWM dimming of up to 3,840Hz, and peak brightness of up to 4,000 nits. Moreover, the screen offers a colour depth of 68 billion and a DCI-P3 color gamut.

Performance

The primary driver on the standard Xiaomi 14T is the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset. It is a 4nm processor with a peak clock speed of 3.35GHz and a dedicated AI accelerator.

Memory-wise, it ships in 12GB + 512GB configuration in Nepal. Furthermore, it comes with the Ultra Space technology, introduced on Xiaomi's flagship 14 series phones.

It is a patented feature by the company that taps into the untouched parts of UFS to extract extra storage space. So, basically, you are getting an extra 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB of space on these configurations, respectively.

The Xiaomi 14T comes with a 5,000 mAh battery as the power source. The standard model only supports 67W wired charging.

Cooling System and other chips

The Xiaomi 14T features the traditional Xiaomi IceLoop System. It also comes with an independent security chip where you can store sensitive information. This chip offers protection against unauthorized access by malicious software that can steal your data.
