Xiaomi has officially launched the Xiaomi 14T and Xiaomi 14T Pro in Malaysia, just a day after their global unveiling.

Pokdepinion: If you’re wary about the T variants, you can always go for the mainline 14 instead, which still offers excellent value today, and you might be able to get it cheaper than before even. Otherwise, this might just be the best bang for buck smartphone today, but we’ll know for sure when we review it so stay tuned.
