I want to add few more things for all you guys that there's a famous mall nearby that I visit a lot and previous phones including Samsung S22 used to give lot of network issues there like slow browsing, etc which makes phone lag/hang too if you would have noticed being on carrier 5g network and without wifi. But on my Xiaomi 14 the 5g internet in that mall also runs buttery smooth, Android auto connectivity is mind blowing immediate in my car, it updated the Android auto software of my car's Android Stereo running on Android 12 before running the first time to like make it so compatible believe it or not. Everytime it connects immediately. The connectivity like 5g, wifi, call connect is so so good that you cannot see any lag in phone which is superb, ofcourse being a premium phone they would have taken care of sar values. We all know if companies want they can go extra mile for customers to give what we would really want and Xiaomi has really done that in this phone according to my perfectionist personal experience. The sound quality is out of the world premium and loud with great bass.
Points mentioned are extremely important for every customer in daily usage and which is sadly not addressed by the popular mobile reviewers. Was quite helpful,thanks 👍🏻
i couldnt decide to buy Xiaomi 14 or samsung galaxy 23 ultra, and im so glad that i bought 23 ultra, such a great phone. its just that, im afraid to buy a brand that i didnt use before
No I never used those features. Definitely extremely less bugs or no bugs I would say. Samsung used to sometimes connect and sometimes not with Android auto was many places buggy/laggy, definitely fooling people because of it's brand value and great display. I have nothing against Samsung, it's just all the huge difference is making me tell you all this and I knew it when I started watching videos of Xiaomi 14 in November 2023. My brother recently bought Samsung S24 Ultra and it's awesome so Samsung gives all those great connectivity, etc features in ultra only which Xiaomi has given in the starting version, which is brilliant for many who cannot afford buying ultra versions or has a compact phone buying preference like I do.
After using this device for many months , how would you rate the software coming from one ui . I get that you are coming from s22 which had a lot of connectivity issues but im asking about general software and bugs etc . After paying such amount of money for xiaomi 14 , how do you feel with ads or bloatware preinstallled . Also that checking for anti virus app makes the phone pretty cheap doesnt it ?. Im thinking whether to buy s24 or xiaomi 14 what do you think?
Not at all, no ads and bloatware, I have disabled them. All have options. Nothing feels cheap. Samsung has a pathetic Knox software which slows the phone, and Samsung also has performance improving kiddish looking pre-installed software in battery settings. I actually like what Xiaomi has given it makes a difference, so totally depends on preference.
@@ManpreetSingh-vf5oh i see , and are you satisfied with your purchase and video quality? I think i will go with Xiaomi as well since exynos is not really dependabale and charging is slow . The only con i could find about Xiaomi is their update cycle but im not too worried about receiving update as fast as possible so its fine ig
@@naveenbmenon4588 I'd say go for it blindly. Still if you ask me why? They gave 120w charger, awesome black light nice cover. And Samsung and few other top companies exactly doing the opposite by giving nothing along with phone just because they have a name now, that's BS! First impression is the last! Xiaomi has hit a home run. Rest reasons already explained. Still your call! Or go only for Samsung S24 ultra not below to get the best like Xiaomi 14. Yes trust me it's that bad what Samsung is fooling with just because of their name, etc. They are good or even great but if compared Xiaomi 14 miles better from everywhere.
@@sidheshlotlikar9002 waa thinking of xiaomi .op 12 is curved and is really hard to handle and high maintenance . Will wait for the price drop then thanks
Yup Xiaomi 14 or S24 Ultra not lower versions. I'll never recommend OnePlus, extremely bored with curved display, no compact version phones, extremely inferior displays no matter how good the display looks.
No I haven't played a game yet but mark my words it cools very fast. As it heats while boost charging but starts cooling instantly once I remove from charging or it itself cools down during the over 80 - 90% charging mark. Others facing heating issues need to make sure they have bluetooth and wifi scanning always turned off in settings.
Btw the dark wallpaper problem is actualy a feature. You can disable it from ( Settings-Display-More Dark mode options ) and dissable "Adjust wallpaper to Dark mode". One thing I do when I get a new phone I dig arround all of the settings and hidden menus and look for usefull features and dissable all ads on Xiaomi phones. I also recommend to disable MIUI Daemon and msa (I recommend watching a video about that). Hope this helps!
It's probably HyperOS bug. I am still using the Xiaomi Mi 10T with MIUI 14 and don't have an issue but probably in a couple of weeks I'll buy the Xiaomi 14. Thanks for the honest review!
And thanks for letting me know about msa and miui. It's there in settings but there are no ads in this beast, I don't even require to disable them, it's not a miui experience phone, it's way better than even Samsung even if few improvements are required as we say nothing is perfect.
I might sound crazy..but there is a reason why Samsung and Apple doesn't provide charger in the box and the one you get is not 50-60-70 Watts but mere 25-30 Watts ..faster the charging faster your battery will start showing problems (like drain issue or anything of that sort) ..slower the charger your battery will thank you..yes in this fast paced world we dont want our mobile to take 1hr to charge.. but honestly I would rather put it on charge for 1hr and do my chores just to have a good battery life for long time.. Also it is recommended to not to charge your phone beyond 85% and below 20% ..
It's all bs, still Samsung battery drains like hell, no games n nothing, even wifi, bluetooth scanning off and closing apps in background still sucks. Live I charged 11 hours ago my phone to full 100% and it's at 65% left. Always boost charging which I can turn off as well but I never did, and no impact on battery. Ofcourse in long run I might face battery issues, every phone will face battery issues in long run as company needs to sell new products. But currently it's 10 on 10 and I feel in long run it will stay good. Xiaomi has made a difference, trust me have really given what people want, real good quality stuff is in the beast, not just on paper like Samsung n others do even at such a huge price.
Kinda confused what to get? S23 8,256 or Xiaomi 14? since both are at the same rate, But what concerns me that even though x14 has superior hardware kinda confused about the software in the long run and also resale value of it compared to a flagship from samsung.... also 70k for a "Xiaomi" phone sounds like a bet
All makes sense but I am very analytical and perfectionist. I have deep faith in snapdragon, avid phone changer. Hated Samsung is my final verdict after using S22 was with buggy/laggy software even after many setting tweaks. Rest is your call.
You will get much better camera on Xiaomi 14 compared to s23 and even better than s24 I personally tested all the phones then I bought Xiaomi 14 People are saying me why you paid 70k for a Xiaomi phone But believe me,I am satisfied with my device You will fall in love with the portrait mode of this phone
@@subhamkrgupta656 how much did you get if for? After card discount and phone exchange I'm getting around 58k? Worth it? And also how good is the HyperOS and cameras? Also is it a small device?
@@arghadeepkar1790 I also exchanged my 4.5 years redmi k20 pro I got 10000 (5000 extra exchange value)for that After card discount it cost me around 55k The phone is not too small I personally don't like 6.7 inch phones My preference was to go with a compact phone And the camera So I have the options Samsung s23,s24 ,iPhone 15 , Xiaomi 14 I went to reliance degital store Tested all the phones in my hand And believe me,the camera is better than all the phones I mentioned above Obviously video is slightly better on iPhone,but not a huge difference Yes,oneui is better than hyperos But here I am getting 512gb Hyperos I can say ,is better than miui But still some improvements are needed My final verdict will be, if you compare by all aspects, Xiaomi 14 is better than the above mentioned phones(I tested Vivo x100, OnePlus 12 also and in some scenarios they are better,if my preference was only camera ,then may be I went with vivo) Now the main problem is ,will you pay this much for a Xiaomi phone???? People will irritate you by asking,why you not went with iPhone/Samsung???? If you have these two answers go with Xiaomi 14 blindly
My camera has the fogging issue. I bought from AliExpress Xiaomi official store. It happened within 10 minutes after taking it out of the box... It happened twice so far, I don't know if it will clear or keep happening. I tried warming the phone, keeping the SIM tray out, etc. Hasn't happened again for a week, so I don't know if it's really gone or not.
@@Mark..01 I checked some UA-cam videos regarding the fog issue. I accordingly clicked a lot of photos my phone heated slightly but no fog on the camera lens at all. I have the top variant 512gb 12 gb version. I noticed in video it was 256 storage phone and lot of duplicate low quality sh*t happens. Never buy from AliExpress. I bought from Xiaomi store nearby my place directly. Perfectly still happy with the Black Beast!
100% in 34 minutes and if you'll use ampere app you'll see it trickle charges as well after showing 100% charged on lock screen, I mean it's still charging and then in app after trickle charging is also completed then it shows "full" that happened in exact 40 minutes. I charged from hibernation mode and with airplane mode on and boost charging enabled. I believe boost charge doesn't work if charging in phone turned off even if you had boost charging enabled in settings.
@@subhamkrgupta656 just turn on airplane mode to get the fastest charging speed and make sure your phone hasn't turned off completely, that's it. Do not use your phone while charging as well. You can just double tap to check battery percentage few times. All this to only get the fastest charging. Rest I would advise turn off boost charging to save battery drainage issues in future and always in settings search for "scan" and make sure bluetooth and wifi scanning are always off. I have noticed in all company phones even if you turn them off, they get enabled after a week or so maybe by some app, etc so always once in a week or so keep a check on it and turn them off and you will get a lot better battery back up.
@@ManpreetSingh-vf5oh doing the same. Still it is taking around 45 minutes May be there is some issue with my unit. Also the phone is heating too much after charging 20 minutes in boost mode Does your device also heat up while charging?

Not at all. Black crush? Hearing this for the first time.
Do you missed the Samsung routines feature? Using s22 currently and planning to switch to mi14, feels like one ui has more feature and lesser bug
