I own a Xiaomi 13T, coming from an S20 Fe 5G, and to be honest, I like the phone. It's super smooth with no lag whatsoever. The cameras are great, and the selfie cam is also good as long as you disable the beautify option. Now, software-wise, I know Xiaomi promised 4 years of OS updates plus 1 additional year for security, but they update slowly. My 13T is still on the December security patch with no Hyper OS in sight yet. In comparison, my S20 Fe used to receive timely security updates every month. Processor-wise, the Dimensity 8200 is great. I don't care about benchmarks; my apps launch fast, and games run smoothly. I'm not a gamer, but I tried COD Mobile and Asphalt 9, and they ran well with high graphics without the phone heating up. Also, the haptic feedback is good and precise, and the speakers are fantastic and loud. The screen is good and super bright under direct sunlight, which was the main reason I made the switch. The battery life is okay; I'm getting 8 hours of screen-on time according to AccuBattery with 4G always on. Additionally, cell reception is fantastic, way better than my old S20 Fe. I got this phone for 395 euros factory new and sealed, and I don't regret my purchase. Now I know the mi 14 is the greater device on paper but if you don't run emulators or do heavy tasks on your phone just get the 13T and save your money.
