Is there an error in the description, or someone’s bad joke? Xiaomi 14 from Fall 2023 for about $100 had USB Type-C v3.2. And here, the 15T Pro version from Fall 2025, for about $900–1000, has USB Type-C v2. That’s really disrespectful to customers. I think it would be better to consider something else — for example, the Xiaomi 15.
