What the reviewers said

TechRadar UK

4.5/5Oct 10, 2025

A welcome refinement over the 14T Pro, with a strong Leica-backed camera system, solid performance and excellent value, though its design and software borrow heavily from Apple.

  • Refined, elegant design
  • Great camera system overall with 5x periscope telephoto
  • Solid performance from Dimensity 9400+
  • Excellent value at £649 / €799
  • Longer software support than Xiaomi 15 Ultra
  • Battery life could be better in real-world use
  • Ultra-wide camera lags behind the rest
  • Unoriginal, heavily Apple-inspired aesthetics
  • HyperOS is a little convoluted

7/10Sep 27, 2025

A dependable, well-balanced phone with strong battery life, good camera and connectivity, but dated Android 15 software and poor timing ahead of the Xiaomi 17 series.

  • Versatile camera with vibrant photos and Leica filters
  • Two-day battery life with solid endurance
  • Ergonomic, durable design with IP68 rating
  • Strong cellular and Wi-Fi performance
  • Smooth performance for everyday use and gaming
  • Ships with Android 15 rather than Android 16
  • HyperOS has pre-installed bloat and cluttered notifications
  • Wide-angle and 5x zoom shots show exposure issues
  • No charger included in the box
  • Xiaomi 17 series release makes timing awkward

4/5Sep 24, 2025

A well-designed, fast phone with strong cameras, long battery life and IP68, held back mainly by outdated Android 15 software and a missing charger.

  • Much improved design with a polished, flagship-like look
  • Dimensity 9400+ performance is fast and fluid
  • Strong main and telephoto cameras
  • Bright 144Hz AMOLED display
  • Long battery life, over a day with heavy use
  • Ships with Android 15 instead of Android 16
  • No timeline given for Android 16 update
  • No charger included in the box
  • Not launching in all global markets
  • Wide-angle camera is the weakest sensor

4.5/5Sep 24, 2025

Performs like a flagship at a lower price, with a strong 5x telephoto and 4K 120fps video, though the ultrawide and bloatware hold it back.

  • Stylish, premium-feeling design with IP68 rating
  • Massive, bright 144Hz OLED display
  • Powerful Dimensity 9400+ performance
  • Long battery life and fast charging
  • 5x periscope telephoto is a strong upgrade
  • Ultrawide camera is weak and lacks autofocus
  • HyperOS is divisive and bloatware-heavy
  • Software update promise is short compared to rivals
  • Bass from speakers is lacking
  • Heavy at 194g or 210g

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
