Our Xiaomi HyperOS review is up now: th-cam.com/video/1w4PXE0zARI/w-d-xo.html
Bro is getting jacked day by day
heartbreak can do a lot
he must've gone through a heartbreak or something
@@aymane.bencheikh you guys don’t remember Angie , she left gsmarena ayear ago😔
@@jaughnekowis that the reason why he speaks more robotıc than usual?
And his shirt is getting smaller 🤪🤪
That 90W fast charging is the reason I will buy the Xiaomi 14 instead of the Samsung Galaxy S24 slow 25W charging speed that has not had a change since my Samsung Galaxy S20...
I use 15W charging on my S24 because I don't want to buy another charger. I'll wait until this one breaks.
I´ve been waiting to buy the regular Samsung s-series flagship, but they just keep releasing disappointing devices each year. In some sense s24 is actually a step-back from s23 due to the problematic exynos chipset.
@@intsfanatic Exynos S24 still has better battery life than Xiaomi with bigger battery. This is my first ever flagship and the feeling of holding it is really amazing, and its speakers and display. I got it for 25% off without trade in or carrier lock.
@@rrsharizamI would recommend just buying the 25W charger so you have even a little bit less waiting time while ur phone charges.
@@rrsharizamWhat? How is the battery better if its smaller?!
Specs wise the Xiaomi 14 is definitely better than the S24 - slightly larger display with higher resolution, three 50MP rear cameras, larger battery capacity, and faster charging speed wired and wireless. However I also believe that OneUI's fluidity and user experience is better than HyperOS, so to each their own.
I prefer the Xiaomi 14
True. Xiaomi phones have greater specs, but the software experience is meh. I'm glad they switched to HyperOS instead of the bloatware MIUI operating system.
@@arjames26 it's same 😂😂 just change in name and few icons , bloatware and adds will be there within few months
s24 series is just so damn expensive. xiaomi 14 series on the contrary starts at 550-600 usd for the chinese variant
I bought the Xiaomi 13. The hardware is great, but I cannot stand how Xiaomi put a lot of bloatware on their phone, and they don't give any easy options to uninstall, or even disable the stuff you don't want.
Many of us use phones at night, just before going to sleep. Have you guys thought it would be useful to know how DIM the screen can get? I'd love to see that in your tests.
According to GSMArena's test its goes down to 2.3 nits and Notebookcheck got 2.5 nits.
While not the dimmest, if you use darker theme OLED makes it it dim.
Also xiaomi have paper mode, quite useful for reading at night
There's an extra dim option in the OS, it's just hidden (for some reason)
@@stefanmrsic You can edit the quick toggles, there should be an extra dim option to add to the drop down menu. It's there for Samsung and Pixel, so Xiaomi should have it too.
I agree dude, even when I'm not sleeping i always keep dark mode and eyeprotect / reading yellow light mode on the lowest brightness so I dont nuke my melanin levels, I find myself a lot less stressed because of this. We all need our phones for work so simply not using them is never an option
I tried it out last night on the mall, that's going to be my next phone for sure
Between 2019 and when X 14 was announced there was no compact phone that could replace my P30 feature-wise. So I was very pleasantly surprised by the X 14, technically the first potential upgrade in 5 years, but I got really thrilled when I saw it'll be just €520 in China. To me, that meant ~€700 in EU.
Sure, Xiaomi doesn't have quite the same promptness as Samsung in providing security updates but no-Exynos and yes-aptX meant a lot to me.
Aaaaaand it's €1000. I'm out. The S24 is now €7xx and it comes with 7 years of security updates. Really, the X 14 should've been max. €650-€700. €1000 is just insulting.
Yeah. If that's the price then it's a no brainer to choose Samsung. Even if the price is the same, Samsung is much more worth it. I've used the S23 and Xiaomi 13. Design is better on 13 but the software is inconsistent, bugs every update.
You could try the pixel 8. I'm thinking of switching to it from a regular S23.
I bought my X14 (chinese model) from TradingShenzhen for €620 and been using it since the start of December. Band-wise, it has worked just fine in Portugal and Brazil. Been pretty happy with the phone.
I'm in the same boat upgrading from the 2019 Mi 9T. In the UK the Xiaomi 14 is £850 but if you buy it from the Xiaomi store it comes with a free tablet AND a smart band! If you sell those the phone is practically half price!
Isn't S23 like €960? Idk that's what Google showed for European pricing
Im already in my dreams before he finished the introduction. Thanks bud
The Xiaomi 14 is a refresh of the Xiaomi 13 from last year. It has great battery life, fast charging, good versatile cam set-up. The HyperOS behaved differently in this device, it's power efficient.
But the it is abit pricey at launch. I hope Xiaomi drop the price in the upcoming month or two.
Great video and really great phone!
Do you think that the thermal throttling issue could be mitigated with a software fix?
I personally think 8gen3 is a hotter chip compared to 8gen2
And this is after comparing OnePlus 12 vs xiaomi 13 pro(global)
@prithvim7 oh it definitely is, also the small body of the phone doesn't help with heat dissipation.
It would be better if I do it with performance mode
And heating doesn't reduce performance here
@@jatindeep8399it does
It's a dream phone for us Xiaomi/Redmi users. Now the only missing thing is the S-Pen. Come on Xiaomi give us your best as you always try to deliver high innovation at affordable prices.
Maybe it'll be available in the 15 or 16 series
No. I dont want s-pen. Extra weight and extra money
why would you want s pen for?
Hi, xiaomi 14 support dual esim active in same time?
Looking forward to see how the Hyper OS performs in the future
Finally! They put 4k in front-facing camera 🔥
How big is the difference between OP 12 and Xiaomi's 14 camera?
that's filmed in my country and i totally didn't expect that
I'm using a vivo X100pro as my secondary phone. I switched from Galaxy S23 Ultra to Iphone 15+ and bought Vivo X100pro as a secondary device. Very impressive device. Cameras in Vivo is superior to every other Galaxies and iphone in the market currently. I'm sure this xiaomi is also a better device than Samsung Galaxy ones.
Vivo is insane buddy!!! Nice to hear you're happy. The vivo X100pro PLUS will kill it too!!
@@APOWER385 that's going to be legendary. But that 1inch sensor is 👌
betterthan ultra? 😂
@@ARJUN-SSit shits ultra out, check the comparison
2:47 that audio drop after "snappy as ever" feels like a sentence being cut off
Now I'm torn between this and the OnePlus 12. Was thinking of getting a smaller phone from OP7Pro but the S24 just isn't worth the price tag.
whats is game u play? looking interesting
Is the os n software support compatible as well?
I am a samsung user but i have been wanting to rry xiaomi for awhile now
Is the back hot when i play games or useit for normal stuff??
Hey thanks for the review was a price mentioned somewhere in there or did I miss it
That camera actually looks good
So the cameras are 50mb o 12.5mb like in the pictures?
Hopefully it gets a release in Japan, we always get the T models instead...
Can you guys do a camera comparison between Xiaomi 14, 14 Pro & 14 Ultra?
I'm also interested in this
wow! nice front video quality..
Definitely better than s24❤😂 exynos is not my thing
You guys should change the object while testing the daily light photo, because this you are using from long time. Because other tech channel showing better camera details than this channel, but I believe you guys should have done better than others.
Of course, it's better than S24... S24 in Europe comes with Exynos...
The best channel, the website as well! - GSMArena
I love the website ❤
Yeah for real
Biased towards Xiaomi.
Anyways, you should not make buying decisions based on GSMArena reviews. This only good for general knowledge.
@@amanthatthinks really?
Been using the phone for about 3 months now, speakers are second to none but the water proofing isn't as good as Samsung's as it takes a few hours to dry the speakers compared to Samsung and also the volume and power button are pretty cheap feeling. For my after 3 months of usage my battery health has dropped to 94% after all the fast charging.
Edit: I'm just saying the cons as I own the phone regardless it's still a great phone. Also I'm from China that's why I own the phone
well, you should only use fast charging in case you're in a rush, my iphone 13 has 89% after 2.5 years. I use only 15 watt charging though
@@alexandruciordas4941 nah there's an option for boost charging and with it off it still charges super quickly like 35 min full charge compared to fast charging 25 min full charge
@@alexandruciordas4941Fast charging shouldnt be a problem as long as it doesnt get extremely hot.For example dont use it while charging and ur good
Lies 😂
@@davmanlop333?
I think I have found my phone after Samsung cheated us. Honestly I was this close to getting myself a S24 LoL that would have been a big regret.
Good job xaomi 👍
Review on the fogging issue on the camera please
Some people complain about camera fogging is an issue for this phone, any thoughts?
Thanks!
i know a lot of people hate the camera design. but i love it. much more than the characterless 'minimalist' samsung design
How do you feel about the OP12 camera?
The copium is strong with Xiaomi shill
looks are subjective, aint no copium here@@rrsharizam
Xiaomi 14's 90W charger out of the box should be the most considerable factor over Samsung S24, I cannot emphasize how significant this is, Xiaomi 14 over Samsung S24 anyday 👌🏻
what is best? this xiaomi 14 or 13t pro? will buy a new phone this week
Hope you can make a comparison between Xiaomi 14 and s24. Thanks
Why does manual brightness slider not reach the auto brightness peak? I think its same for all phones, but why
This phone is FAR SUPERIOR to the S24 Base Model. This phone offers up to 16 GB of Ram, Samsung keeps us at 8GB. You can charge this phone far quicker. The base storage is 256 compared to the 128 of the S24. You get a higher resolution display and arguably better cameras. It's also the PERFECT size.
Some important information i miss is the battery decrease after let's say.. 6 hours standby.
I got myself a Xiaomi 13T best phone ever. Xiaomi forever.
Can't wait for the 13 ultra Vs 14 ultra review
Whats a better coice in your opinion Xiaomi 13T or Xiaomi 14 ?
2:13 someone help me with the title of song used on speaker test
Hi, thanks for reviewing!
I see that your Xiaomi 14 review uses a different measurement for battery life (13:56h) than your Xiaomi 13 review (108h endurance rating).
So how to compare these results?
Best channel
I regret that the Xiaomi 14 pro was not released globaly. It was releases in China tough. 🙁
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.
3499 sar
Could you do a full review between Xiaomi 14 with OnePlus 12? 😊 Pretty pls!!
The main thing between xiaomi and samsung is "natural colors" in photos
Just watched Your video and also Your other video of Redmi Note 13 pro+.
Really liked both videos but I am left wondering which one has the Better camera?
So basically up to Android 18, or do they consider updates to HyperOS "updates" and it could be less?
Xiaomi , eversince, Ui updates only
For my old Xiaomi phone, it was their own UI updates, I'm sure it's still the same.
I love the fact the he always play this song whenever he test fir speaker loudness
Hyper OS seems still a bit slow=buggy, at least on Poco F5.
And download size was supposed to be 5GB, but I believe size was below 1GB... maybe unpacking to 5GB.
Not just on Poco. Even on Mi Pad 6 slow and buggy. Miui it's better. Just my experience.
How about the fog on the main camera??
Why don't you add the sar value to the site?
Do they have a 1TB model
Compact phones are starting to get bigger in size again.
i want every mobile phone to have the IR blaster , its very useful .
Samsung fans when they see a phone "better than" their phones: 😡🤬💥
100%. They are like cancer
Samsung fans are tame compared to sony Xperia fans.
@@malekinception oh yeah. Don't get me started there.
@@joelconolly5574iPhone beats Sony
😂😮
I'd take this over an iPhone, an S24 or anything else out there. Really nice.
How about the difference over 13? Is it worth the update, or just stick with 13?
Worth it
surely one of the best looking smartphones
Xiaomi nailed everything besides the camera island design. Besides that, it is a spectacular phone.
For me it is actually looking simple and classy. There are no phones with camera Island like it.
The camera lens gets foggy and Xiaomi states that it's a common issue that we have to live with it and there's nothing to do about it. Can't claim the warranty as it doesn't fall under defects.
The IR blaster is also in as far back as the Xiaomi Redmi note 10 5G, nothing new there?
I wonder how long has the updates support?
4 years. 5 security update. 😊
What is Marker 12?
I dunno why there's so much hate for Samsung I'm using S23 U for more than an year and it's super awesome
For me... My fear is Samsung screen.. Too costly
Xiaomi changed the smartphone landscape, without them other brands would be 30% more expensive, hope they do the same to cars. Rock on xiaomi ❤❤❤❤❤
Xiaomi can never match the OneUI and the regular software updates of Samsung.
Is there global ROM on this I'm planning to buy this phone that's why.😁😁😁
If you redesign that camera, I'd buy it
That's a better looking module irl
@@prithvim7 I'd say the best camera module design right now would be the redmagic 9 pro. Camera wise it's bad, but the fact that the phone is flat and not protruding makes it the best for me.
@@suzuren934 then better to buy it, as larger sensors will have protruding module.thats physics for current gen
It looks fine, better than iPhone
Awesome camera 😎
Why make the Camara wart protrude more?
Shamelles price for international market compared to Chinese‼️‼️‼️
In China lowest price for 8x256gb is 550 dollars in EU same phone is 1100 in Euros more than double 🤣
For that reason i will go on S24+ for 900 euros US SDGen3 version 👌🏻
don't know if still on but giving away free xiaomi tablet when buying the 14 on site
Blame your EU gov. There are some types of tariffs on Chinese direct competitors.
S24+ is starting at 1150, s24 is 959 for 256gb. xiaomi has a discount code for 100€ on the 14 and you get a free tablet. Xiaomi may not be at flagship killer price anymore but it is definitely a flagship killer at a cheaper price than both samsung and apple.
@@lennart14 In my country S24+ base version is 899 (8x256 i guess) Yes course we have stores where is 999 wich 2 or 3 years of garancy.
I agry wich seccond your post, i also prefer Xiaomi more but can also confirm right now OneUi 6.0 is more stable than Miui 14 ( i sell my Xiaomi 13 before Hyper released globally) and battery life on my currecnt S23+ is at least 30% easy better than on Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 13 i was have before, but yes, OneUi is boring Ui to me personaly.
@@irfanhajee Yes on site but 80% and mabey 90% of customers buying their phones in stores around their country where you dont have that...
great phone, one thing i don't like in xiaomi phones, the back are almost whole camera bump
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) ?
Xiaomi's UI is gorgeous. I love It
Where I get it
Flashing a custom rom, this will be a beast.
Why ?
@@APOWER385 Because of the crappy UI and the shitload of preinstalled bloatware.
@@josbakker1163 you've no idea what you're talking about
@@badbadbadcat Oh, why's that? I've had a couple of Xiaomi devices and most of these devices where littered with bloatware and the UI had ads in some menu's. So I think I have a pretty good idea what I'm talking about.
which custum rom u recommend?
@@josbakker1163
Why GSMarena always using camera photo samples from Sofia - Bulgaria
No 14 pro..??? Just now i saw in your website you have there Xiaomi 14 PRO..???
Better battery, better camera, display with Dolby Vision, charger, and phone case included, damn I am definitely throwing my 3 white bars and 2 green line s22 ultra in the gutter
You should have made a segment with size comparisons.
Fica calado , vc não sabe de nada ! Só assiste o vídeo 😊!
Wow, this phone's specs seem to beat Samsung S24 on having the SD8G3 instead of Exynos, have up to 1TB & 16GB RAM option, have a better/more optimal screen size (6.36" vs 6.2"), and have much faster charging speed. It seems they just need to work on their thermal management.
I'm also hesitant that Xiaomi phones would probably have a CCP backdoor, reporting on everything I do, whereas Samsung phones probably have a USA backdoor and I'd slightly prefer the USA have all of my personal data than China.
Hopefully Samsung can catch up with their S25 series, putting flagship specs the whole way down the size range.
That thermal throttling is quite bad, considering the 13T before was very sustained.
Another OVEN type phone by Xiaomi.. 🔥🔥🔥
I am currently always use Samsung, Samsung S2,S6,,S8,S9,S10, S20, S21 and now S22... I skip S23 and still thinking about S24, I love compact size and I hate so much heavy, bulky and big size phone, but finding the best compact phone with hi performance is not easy... I think, Xioami 14 is really tempting .. since S23 and S24 disappoint me so much with slow charging charge and they ruin the latest Oneui update
Facksynos vs snapdragon. What could go wrong
This could have been a solid device tho, it's a bit overpriced for me. For that price range, I'll just buy a samsung or iphone for a solid software. MIUI, even if it turned to hyperOS, is still buggy.

This is how flagships used to be before the advent of the "ultra flagship" category
4:00 where's the menu on app ?
