Xiaomi always shines in launching a flagship or quasi-flagship phone. It doesn't matter if this phone is from Poco, Redmi or Xiaomi itself. What comes to market is definitely the best you could get in its price range. This can be said about Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro. Two attractive phones that Xiaomi has recently unveiled and put on the market and hopes to be unbeatable in the price range of 400 to 600 dollars. According to the reviews, it seems that Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro can fulfill the great expectation that the Chinese company has from them. But the question is, considering the price difference between them (about 150 to 200 euros), which phone is more worth buying?

On the other hand, the Xiaomi 14T model with 12/256 GB can be purchased at a price of 29,400,000 Tomans, while the highest recorded price for this model is 32,700,000 Tomans. The 512/12 GB model of this phone is also priced at 31,440,000 Tomans and the highest price is 34,699,000 Tomans.

Considering the difference in the prices of the sellers, it can be said that the 12 GB 14T Pro model is in the range of 40 to 44 million Tomans and the 12 GB 14T model is in the range of 30 to 35 million Tomans. Therefore, there is a price difference of approximately 8 to 10 million tomans between these two models.

Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro have differences in dimensions and size. Xiaomi 14T with a thickness of 7.8 mm is considered one of the thinnest phones in its price range. While the Pro model is slightly thicker with a thickness of 8.4 mm. This difference in thickness has made the Pro model weigh 209 grams, while the weight of the standard model is 193 grams.

By adding a 20-gram frame to these phones, the weight of Xiaomi 14T Pro reaches about 230 grams and the weight of Xiaomi 14T reaches 213 grams. This 17 grams of weight difference does not seem to be much at first, but in the long-term use of the Pro model, it may feel heavier to the user. Therefore, Xiaomi 14T is a more comfortable and convenient option for many users due to its lower weight and thickness.

Overall, both phones have a premium and attractive feel, but Xiaomi 14T Pro has a better look and feel in the hand due to its aluminum frame. Although the underlying structure of Xiaomi 14T is made of aluminum, its plastic cover makes this phone more known as a plastic device.

This plastic is of good quality and does not give the user the feeling of cheapness at all. But plastic has its place and so does aluminum. Of course, an advantage of plastic is that it is more resistant to impact, perhaps against discoloration and scratches over time.
