【Super Virgin (2012)】

Xiaomi's new top phone is Super Virgin (2012)here, and it looks familiar.

With the Xiaomi 14T Pro, it appears that the design heads at Xiaomi simply said: Well, let's imagine the next year's iPhone, and then design our phone to look like that.

The result, unsurprisingly, looks pretty great, even if it's not the most original. Xiaomi sent me a 14T Pro review unit in the Titan Gray color, and I was surprised at how much I liked it. It has flat, aluminum edges, interspersed with antenna lines, and on the back, there's a giant camera bump that's unmistakably iPhone-ish, with one big difference: It hosts four camera units instead of three.

The phone is slightly bigger than my iPhone 15 Pro Max, with ultra-thin bezels on the front. The only thing that really betrays it as an Android phone is the dot-sized camera cut-out on the top of the display; had Xiaomi placed a pill-shaped, Dynamic Island-like cut out there, it would have probably been too much.

All in all, I love the design. The phone is simple yet elegant. And I've had several people ask me "what kind of iPhone is that," so that's been fun.

Other than that, the new Xiaomi phone is a mighty beast, with a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset powering things, 12GB of RAM, 256/512/1,024GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display has a 2,712x1,220 pixel resolution, a refresh rate that goes up to 144Hz, and 4,000 nits of peak brightness.

Finally, the Leica-branded rear camera on the back consists of a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera (the fourth circle hosts the flash). On the front, there's a 32-megapixel selfie camera.

Finally, the phone comes with a number of AI features, including Circle to Search with Google and Google Gemini support. This is big, as these features were previously only available on Google's Pixel devices and some Samsung phones. There's also a number of other AI features on the Xiaomi 14T Pro that were made by Xiaomi, such as AI Notes, AI Recorder, and AI Image Editing.
