Xiaomi 14T Pro: A gateway to Leica’s classy co-engineered cameras
Is the Xiaomi and Leica collaboration the best that has ever been put together? They certainly make a strong case. The Leica prowess on the Xiaomi 14 Series has been a hit, and now they are extending this thriving partnership through the newly launched Xiaomi 14T Pro.
Xiaomi’s T Series is known for encapsulating the most-loved features of its flagship into a price-friendly form. This includes Leica’s optical expertise, which positions the Xiaomi 14T Pro as a gateway for consumers to experience the emerging era of Leica smartphone photography – all without breaking the bank.
With the renowned image quality that Leica co-engineered cameras bring, premium mobile photography is more accessible than ever.
For this year’s Xiaomi 14T Pro, Xiaomi builds on the success of its predecessors with a host of improvements, including enhanced low-light capabilities and upgraded image sensors, all while staying true to Leica’s iconic style.
Picture perfect, even at night
Anyone who has dipped their toes into photography will understand the significance of these co-engineered Leica cameras. Earning the seal of approval from the brand largely associated with pioneering the photography movement is an indicator of just how good these cameras are.
Over the century, Leica has built on its reputation by manufacturing high-standard camera lenses, one of these being the Summilux line, which has been in production since 1959. If you were ever a photography enthusiast, there’s a high chance you would have dreamt of adding the Summilux to your arsenal.
Well, all that is now at your fingertips with the Xiaomi 14T Pro, whose cameras are built around the quality that Summilux lenses produce. This means lightning-quick lenses to capture split-second moments, and perhaps more impressively, improved low-light performance that makes every night shot a masterpiece.
No need to wait for golden hour when every shot is gold, regardless of the hour, with the Xiaomi 14T Pro.
Light Fusion 900 Image sensor brings colours to life
We’ve all felt the bitter disappointment of trying to capture sprawling landscapes with our phone cameras, only to discover that the colours appear washed out and dull. This won’t be the case anymore now that the Xiaomi 14T Pro is graced with the Light Fusion 900 image sensor.
Simply put, the Light Fusion 900 sensor enhances the high dynamic range (HDR) performance on the cameras, leading to colours that are vibrant and true-to-life. This allows you to capture scenes as they appear in the moment, and a chance to reminisce upon these precious still captures of time. Additionally, the new sensor reduces hindrances such as ghosting and flares, keeping every shot clean.
‘Pictures don’t do it justice?’ In this case, they do.
Oh, and there’s also the real-time HDR preview so you can determine the clarity and colour range you wish to achieve. No more playing guesswork and anticipation, see in real time the photos you are destined to capture, all before even hitting the shutter.
Versatile lenses for all types of photography
An eye for photography can only get you so far without versatility. The tools to get up close, or conversely, to take in an entire scene in a frame, are as important to a photographer as water is to plants.
It’s why professional photographers have holsters upon holsters of lenses slung around their waist. Quickly interchanging between lenses is crucial in getting the shot, which is why the five focal lengths on the Xiaomi 14T Pro play such an important role.
These carefully curated focal lengths encapsulate the ideal range for all types of photography; from cityscapes and mountain peaks to street photography and close-up portraits. With a focal range between 15mm and 120mm, everyone can experience unmatched versatility in their mobile photography journey, all with just a tap of a finger.
Master lens for a master photographer
Look back upon the many centuries of masterful paintings that have ever been created, and you’ll find that many of them are portraits. Think about it. Portraits such as the Mona Lisa and Girl with a Pearl Earring are regarded as timeless, not just because they are technically difficult to achieve, but because they capture the soul of the viewer.
Portraits, whether painted on an oil canvas or captured in digital format, are longstanding and proven art forms. So it’s only right that the Xiaomi 14T Pro offers the chance to express your creativity with the Master-lens portrait system.
The Master-lens system – accessible only in Portrait mode – gives you a variety of portrait styles that best suit your vision. Covering four focal lengths most appropriate for portraits, the Master-lens system allows you to select between Documentary (35mm), Swirly bokeh (50mm), Portrait (75mm), and Soft Focus (90mm), all designed to bring your photos to life.
Xiaomi 14T Pro: Keeping it classy with Leica
It is as clear as the photographs you’ll take – the Xiaomi 14T Pro embodies the Leica spirit through its top-tier photography features and Summilux-inspired quality. The Xiaomi and Leica partnership has always been undisputed, but this iteration pushes the boundaries further with its improved low-light capabilities and advanced image sensor.
The Xiaomi 14T Pro will appeal to photography enthusiasts of all kinds. If you fit the bill, the Xiaomi 14T Pro (12GB+256GB) is now available in Malaysia for only RM2,599. It is available at Xiaomi official stores, as well as on Xiaomi’s official online stores on Shopee, Lazada, and mi.com.
