#Xiaomi14 #xiaomi14series #xiaomimobile #mwc2024
Bought it yesterday straight after launch together with the new tablet 6 as a good combi deal in the Xiaomi shop in Portugal. Using this phone for just over 24 hours and all I can say is Holly shit this phone feels like it will last a lifetime. It's absolutly brillianttt
Estive hoje na Xiaomi para conhecer o Xiaomi 14 e também gostei. Mas comparei com o meu S24 Ultra e em todos os aspectos é comparar a água com o vinho. De qualquer das formas o Xiaomi está muito bom, peca apenas pelo preço salgado.
Idk how long the battery does Need to last...but i don't find It Very durable
How's the haptics?? Anything like iPhone or do they feel cheap and loud..the vibration motor I mean btw
Chinese phones are actually good... but the resell value is trash
Congratulations man🎉
You could see the IR blaster in the camera module of Xiaomi 14 as well as 14 pro
What an amazing phone! On my wish list if I win the lotto
No lens fogging issue on your piece?? Saw lots of complaint in reddit ?
Perfect Review .. Good old style .. honest and not biased .. detailed and informative ... you now have a new follower from Libya. 👍
Your support means the world to me! I'm grateful to have you as part of our community.
Black version is matte so won't be a fingerprint magnet . Nice review.
White is a stunner 😍
Yes the black version has a matte finish. Not seen it in person yet, but i heard Jade Green is the best.
@@ChigzTech I usually prefer black but the green is gorgeous and I'm glad I got it
Thanks for this review. You just have a new subscriber from Nigeria.
there's a mistake at the end sheet. it says 31 min full charge when you said before it's 41min. oh and ir blaster is hidden inside the camera module. other than that, solid review. subscribed :)
forgiveable😂
31mins is what Xiaomi quoted. My test result was 41mins and the IR blaster playing hide-and-seek adds to the mystery of the phone.
By default it should be 40ish minutes, u need to enable boost in battery settings to get close to 30
@@roller19841104 Yes just noticed, boost charging speed under battery settings. Thanks for sharing.
The IR is with the camera setup. This is actually an advantage if you want to do a little bit of trolling outside as you no longer need to point it like a remote making it obvious you're the one changing the channel, and you can instead act like you're scrolling through socials instead while aiming your cam to the TV general direction with your cam.
lol, thats so true, less blatant.
I watched loads of video of this phone, mostly my hungarian fellas reported an issue about the main cam getting foggy, mine is coming in a few days but worried about that issue. Also your vids when you show 4k 60 is nice, but then 4k 30 looks so hazy, not sure if its caused by that or just the hdr is that bad but i d not think so, you just made me worried even more:(
So u get ur phone alre?
take the phone in the cold around 10*C (50*F) and start recording a video in 4k and within 3 minutes you have fog on main lens. Manufacturing defect for this type.
f the lens fogs up, it will be necessary to clean it from the inside after a while...how? Fog = water = dirty lens
detach the sim module for few hours, let all humidity comes out while u are recording. should fix it for once
Thanks man! Yet another gorgeous video, cheers from Cyprus
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ChigzTech is there noise cancelling mic in xiaomi 14 compact?
@@infatuatedts5072 IT'S A FLAGSHIP Phone. Absolutely yes.
Does your Xiaomi 14 volume button is loose or its just mine. And also could you see the both speaker grill for me . Please
Is there any blurry photos issues…plus do u think there will be motherboard failure after update 😢?…plz reply reply
Motherboard failure?? Where did you get that ?? I saw lots of complaint on rear camera fogging issue... but motherboard failing that'd unheard of
I love this compact phone rather than big tablet phones.
Does the Xiaomi 13 camera take as good pictures as well?
Will it perform well on any U.S. networks?
I use T-Mobile.
I would love to own this phone, after watching a number of very positive reviews.
I read you can get this phone imported in US you'll just need to compare the bandwidth of your provider vs the phone otherwise you should be all good.
What video does the front facing camera shoot? 1080p or 4k?
4K 60
I live in Hong Kong and been using this phone for a while, no fogging issues whatsoever
I need a good camera phone for my real estate work. I cant go for a high priced one. What would be your recommendation between Honor 90, Xiaomi 14 & Xiaomi Redmi 13 Pro?
Go for xiaomi 14
Excellent review mate.
But can you please confirm whether or not it is possible to switch between the various cameras whilst recording at 4k 60 fps?
Some phones only offer variable switching between cameras at 4k 30 fps.
Ye only with 30fps u can switch between cams
@@roller19841104 ✌️✌️✌️
Have any of you experienced problem recording 24fps video when in Pro mode? My X14 can record 24fps when in Movie mode or Video mode, but only records 30fps or 60fps in Pro mode, even if you set it to 24fps in 4k or 8k
First time using this brand and Xiaomi 14 is a beast, best purchase ever ❤
Can you fix the PWM flicker issue for PWM sensitive people?
Great review :) Taken to consideration that Xiaomi presented 3 different phones in the 14 series, the 14, the 14 Pro, and the 14 Ultra, then this one has to be the "Vanilla" one ;)
Only thing not being "vanilla" about it is the fact that if living in different countries than China, even the Global "vanilla" 14, costs a third more than the chinese version.
there's no 14 pro, only china has it. they only presented 14 and 14 ultra
@@manewhairstyle the company is Chinese, and they have released all 3 of the phones in the 14 series in China... If the Xiaomi company decides to only release the Xiaomi 14, and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra to the "Global" market, then it doesn't make the Xiaomi 14 Pro disappear 😂🙈
If it wasn't for the Brexit crap I could buy it for a lot less
Thanks for your user oriented review. I have been following this channel since the mibox launch.
My main cam also gets foggy after a few min taking videos outside in 10 celsius degrees, like other youtubers reported, got the phone today and had to test it. Not sure what to do with it, i should probably have to send it back
Iam useing somany years useing Xiaomi gadgets, Redmi & xiaomi always Best❤
I must agree
I would like to change my iPhone 13 pro max with this Xiaomi 14, can it be a valid replacement?
Yea bro.
@@anonymous_4you No, I have iphone 13 pro max and xiaomi 14, Iphone is better phone...
I've used both platforms and most of the people i know used to own an iPhone are now switching to android. Xiaomi 13 and 14 are pretty solid and premium. And you don't have to think about charging
I wonder what the SAR value is for Europe. I would be very happy if you give me information. The SAR value is written in the quick user guide.
Have you find ? I plan to get it too
@@faridbensalem8175 yes

Nice review, thx)
Does it have wireless charging?
@@dentogist yes

Great unboxing keep it up as always brother
Hey, thanks for the kind words, bro!
@ChigzTech new subscribers from Nigeria brother
@@usmanabdulkadir3334 most appreciated, best wishes to my brothers in Nigeria. 🇳🇬
the ir blaster is at the back along with the camera
Bro...IR Blaster is at the camera bump...
if this phone gets software and security updates often, I'll consider buying this one over the S24, cause the battery could be better on the samsung
Great review, no YT bul...t. Just subbed
Does anyone have problems with camera fogging (going from warm to cold or vice versa)? I'm also interested in the battery life (if someone uses 2 SIM cards, a little playing games, a little photography, using it for surfing the Internet and social networks / applications, while the mobile Internet is turned on non-stop)?
Is the metal frame tinted green or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me?
Watching from my own Xiaomi14 with free xiaomi watch s3
Can anyone tell me if xiaomi UK is legit? I want to buy the xiaomi 14 that has a deal which you get a free Mi Pad. This sounds really good but I just want someone to confirm that it is safe to buy from. Also did you buy off this website? Thank you!
5:41 nice sound hearing from
Redmi note 3
I got the S24 Ultra for £589 after discounts/trade in.
Xiaomi 14 comes up to £809 with student discount. They will also pay me £737 for my S24 Ultra.
Financially I would win right?
I feel the Xiaomi 14 can do everything I use the S24 Ultra can.
Any advise? What do you think of the deal?
Where did you buy it off? Can you tell me if xiaomi UK is legit? I want to buy the xiaomi 14 that has a deal which you get a free Mi Pad. This sounds really good but I just want someone to confirm that it is safe to buy from. Thank you!
Im using K20 Pro. Should i upgrade to xiaomi 14 pro or wait the snapdragon 8 gen 4?
Waiting for 8Gen4
Wait
Do you have actual need to upgrade because of say battery going bad from current, or wanting better cameras?

the ir blaster is in the camera bump
That's a neat design choice by the manufacturer!
IR blaster is under the flashlight
Does it have any cool ai photo editing tools like Google phones?
Hi, can you confirm is Xiaomi 14 supports eSIM?
Yes i have been told global version supports e-sim.
Compare it with the iPhone 15 pro?
How many software update xawmi give?
@@mohammedhassan-cn2um 3 years of update i think
Pls tou think ita better galaxy s24 or the xiaomi 14? I'm getting mad
For camera, Xiaomi 14 is better. For ai features s24 is more polished. For performance, if your country sells the SD 8gen 3 S24, then they are similar. But if the 24 uses exynos, Xiaomi is better
@@inaha7111 s23 or Xiaomi 14 if i also use It for gaming?

Better battery, camera, performance,...
Can you use banking apps without having to download apk's?
Yes, you can, it has play store
@danniel7480 do you still use it? If not then would you be interested in selling it on?
@@RicochetGray I don't have Xiaomi 14, but I have a Xiaomi phone with Chinese HyperOS + global has GMS by default
So, if you pick black version... there is no cons. Because black is not mirror finish.
The IR blaster is on the camera part
BECAUSE THE IR BLASTER IS LOCATED AT THE REAR CAMERA MODULE
Great review.
Please compare camera pictures shots to Samsung Ultra. Nobody will do that, because there are not same class. Xiaomi looks like great option because size. Please please please 😊
Bro r u Satisfied with the selfie camera
Not having an SD card slot is a deal breaker for me...
when I transferred my pics and videos from my redmi 8 to my redmi 10 it took about 5 seconds...I can't imagine how long it would take to transfer 4k videos through WiFi as you would have to do for this phone... Actually, I can, it would probably take several hours...no thanks. I'll stick with the redmi side until they stop supporting SD storage.
I totally understand the frustration of not having an SD card slot for quick transfers. It's definitely a feature many users value.
Why not use USB ?
@@hanswi336 most phones don't have a USB. They might have usb-c but I have yet to see a usb-c flash drive...and even if there were USB-c flash drives you still have to transfer to the flash drive, which could still take over an hour and then transfer it back to the new phone...very different from taking an SD card out of 1 phone and putting it in the other and be on your way.
Dude you have medieval complain. Its been a while already train yourself to accept it slowly even the low cost phones dont have. Move on!!!
@@xxxlyf I think you're trying to say low budget phones don't have SD cards? Well, redmi note phones are considered low budget and they have them. Which is what I said. I'll stick with those until they don't.
Am I the only one that liked the 4K60 without HDR more? HDR added a haze on top of the footage in 4k30
IR Blaster is besides the rear camera.
The IR blaster is in the camera housing
Looks like the camera is multitasking!
Uk pricing ?
Video great but voice quality not audible enough
is there one thing better than op 12 ?
It has defeated all it's competitors in the segment such as iphone 15, Samsung s24 and OnePlus 12 as well,well coming to the op 12,the only thing which is better is the battery and that's obvious coz op 12 is much bigger in size otherwise xiaomi 14 beats it in every department
Is it globally available?
Yes
IR blaster is on the back in between the cameras
So that's where it's been hiding all this time - playing hide and seek between the cameras!
Is this global version?
Yes i think so
So you saying get the black one and there will be no cons? 😁
Well, black does have that sleek, mysterious vibe...but no color can escape the cons entirely! With further testing i'm sure I will find them.
Should I get the Xiaomi 14 or Iphone 14 Pro. I'm coming from the Iphone XR and looking to get an Upgrade. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two phones
Depends on your preferences... if u game a lot then xiaomi is the way to go, but iphone's camera are a bit better. Also you get many perks with the xiaomi like fast charging and a lot more UI customisations than the iphone
@@prabhudhm9332 iphone doesn't have better camera, it's not 2016.
@@xDDxdDXDdDDD Only the video is better on the iphone
@@prabhudhm9332 nope, not really. 3rd year in a row with problems with flares and glares from sun, street lights etc.
The IR Blaster is within the section Camera.
All colors come with aluminum edge?
Yes they do.
One of the best smartphone rn
The ir blaster is next to the camera
The ir blaster wanted to photobomb the camera!
turn memory extension off on every phone that has the option
What about heating
With general use and gaming, i did not experience any overheating or throttling issues.
Dayum.. Sooo, jump on the X13 or wait and see what Asus does with its Zenfone 11?
You can't really complain about fingerprints especially when its a handheld device.
Mad how most uk shops have shut now and theyre making phones that fog up in the cold lol
This nice..😁😁😁👍👍👍
Appreciate your support!
can it shoot raw?
Yes
Full battery drain test video
Are u sure the loudspeakers have good sound or it's just loud? In my Xiaomi 13, the speakers sound cheap and tinny.
Yes it's Absolutely beast..
Cons from reviews I have seen is poor HDR on front-facing camera and fingerprint magnet on some colours, Other than this, Xiaomi 14 beats iPhone 15 and Samsung in many categories. Best!!.. Hopefully, the hardware durability isn't a failure like my previous experience with Poco F1, Xiaomi 11, Redmi 10, etc.. Xiaomi is notorious for poor hardware.
Excellent job bro 🎉
Glad there is an AIA Blastah in this phone.
Please compare the sound and camera to redmi 13 series
I appreciate your interest! I'll definitely consider making that comparison in a future video.
IR blaster is on camera side😄
Great
Thanks for watching.
Your Voice is a bit muffled
I wish i could buy it...
Not a fan of this shade of green, dark green or emerald green would have been much better
Üzgünüm bu mesajı yeterli İngilizce dil bilgisine sahip olmadığım için Türkçe yazıyorum. Hiçbir youtube kanalında senin gibi yalnızca objeyi göstermiyor. Kendini gösteriyor ve bir şeyler anlatıyor. Ve böylelikle ikinci , hatta üçüncü göz ile izlemek durumunda kalıyoruz ve bu gerçekten korkunç. Videoyu açtım ve dedim ki bu kanal gerçekten objeyi incelememizi sağlıyor. Bunun için sana çok teşekkür ederim. Hemen abone oldum. Böyle devam etmeni isterim. Güzel günlerin olsun dostum.
S24 or mi14
If is Fingerprint magnet only CONS, then you can just choose black variant where is mat finish on the back. I think that is not so much fingerprint magnet, or is not at all. Ladies can choose Pink variant which has leather on the back. But I think that Pink variant is rare because is not on every market. But is very nice. Even if you combine a pink case like this, as in this video: th-cam.com/video/uUIDMUK7Ejg/w-d-xo.html
Bro Some Of The Phone Has A Fogging Issues....I am Disappointed with this Phone....My Phone Is Still ni Mi Care...
All these honest - sometimes even of a brutal nature - reviews... I'm waiting for the first dishonest review. That would be fun.
its not compact bro, there is the iphone mini, the normal iphone and the s24, all of the rest are just too big.
Yeah it's not compact but it's perfect size...not small not big...
@@ShadowValley-n4i
not really, perfect was the iPhone X, height has to be well below 150mm
The rear camera bump is so ugly
