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.
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.
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 :)
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
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:(
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.
@@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 😂🙈
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!
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
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
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
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?
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)?
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.
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!
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
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.
@@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.
@@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.

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
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 😊
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
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.
If it was a tad smaller and didn't have that thick camera bump, I would have bought it. Instead, I got the S24 (regular) and its screen is atrocious. Worst viewing angles of any phone I've owned/seen, colors shift to green and it looks terrible even at the slightest angle. Come to find out many people are complaining about this, but none of the reviews on UA-cam make a mention of it. Which made me realize that most of these "reviews" (like over 90%) are nothing more than paid advertisements and/or clickbait "praying to get views" videos.
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: ua-cam.com/video/uUIDMUK7Ejg/v-deo.html

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.
