Unfortunately, most US carriers don't allow xiaomi usage for cell service. I still use a Poco F3 and had to resort to T-Mobile, which is terrible where I'm at. If that 14 was allowed on at&t, I'd pick one up. Crazy Antutu score though. Great performance.
They will allow them just fine as long as the phone is unlocked and supports the proper carrier Cell bands. They won't carry them but they will work fine. I used a Huawei up until the LTE switch over on AT&T and mine didn't support the proper bands otherwise it would still be working fine.
@@kyleklukken4089I doubt it would. Huawei was banned in the u.s. a few yrs ago...I've been rocking xiaomi phones on T-Mobile for the past few yrs. They usually tell you what bandwidth works with it in the description. You can also call the carrier to see if they support such a phone... usually, phones from overseas support the GSM bandwidth which is available on a few carriers like T-Mobile but not at&t or Verizon.
So far I've used 3 or 4 Chinese phones on T-Mobile with xiaomi being the best. I was considering this phone but the price is too outrageous for me. (Close to $1,500)... The global version is due in Feb. 2024 which might have different specs to bring the price down...but not by much I don't think... I'll just wait a few yrs for the price to come down, by then they'll be on xiaomi 17 or 18. I'm planning to upgrade my redmi not 10 with the note 11 soon.
If only there were recent native games to exploit these super fast smartphones. Resident Evil Village whooped the iPhone's ass because it was lazily ported from MacOS so we never know how far ARM has truly come.
I have been looking into Xiaomi phones and they seem to be pretty great over all. Great battery life, fast charging and a great camera. The triple threat.
So they might improve with Xiaomi phone to have something like Samsung DeX soon? I guess the Samsung S24 will have this new chip soon as well. Always nice to have that External Monitor support cause I can hardly play games well with the tiny phone screen, heh... thanks again for the review
I started using AethersX2 and loaded up a bunch of my games on my Red Magic 8s Pro with the 8 gen 2 chip and every game like 10+ of them run at full speed at 3x res. I'm surprised how well a mobile phone can run PS2 games.😊
Performance itself hasn't been an issue for the last few years already. The thing that doesn't make it a mini PC is actually software support for desktop-grade apps (and games). Samsung DeX kinda proves that flagship smartphones could be used as desktop PCs from a hardware perspective, but once you start using it, you realize there's not much desktop-like stuff you can do on it.

You not being able to go more than 5x resolution on GoW Chains of Olympus with a 8 Gen 2 is a clear signal that you're being limited by the software. My Poco F3 with Snapdragon 870 can get up to 7x resolution on this game, with 8x the framerate starts dropping below 60. The Adreno 740 in the 8 Gen 2 has almost 3x the power of Adreon 650 in the Snapdragon 870, the hardware is clearly not the problem here. I don't know about Samsung, but on Xiaomi you need to add the games and emulators to the "Game Turbo" list, so you unlock higher clocks to CPU/GPU. But 8 Gen 2 and 8 Gen 3 are so powerful that can run all this even when limited.
I have the 10T Pro and LOVE the phone. I don't do enough with my phone to warrant me getting a new one until the one I have breaks, since my 3 year old phone doesn't even have a scratch on it, it might be quite some time before I need a new one. I think the difference in case is whether it's a pro model or not, the pro gets the better black case, while non-pro gets a cheap clear plastic one. I think it's hilarious that the new IPhone 15 is making such a big deal about a 48MP camera, when my 3 YEAR OLD phone has a 108MP camera, and can shoot video at 8K/30FPS or 4K/60FPS. At the time of purchase, I could have bought 3 of these phones for the price of the IPhone.

@all-stargamer3333 ugh agree. I love Samsung but it's embarrassing why they can't handle these quality control issues in their own chips or making chips for others. Exynos is a dead chip to the public due its consistency of being worse than Snapdragon than the war between Samsung vs TSMC on who gets to make what for Snapdragon chips because another bad quality control when Samsung does it. I just want Samsung to get their crap together and fix this. If Samsung does make it let's hope they take it seriously and prove to the world they can get behind their past otherwise business will hurt them in the long run.
Also if Genshin Impact is tested plz test it AT LEAST IN SUMERU CITY, if not Fontaine. The game has been out for some years and Sumeru City (and possibly Fontaine) is noticeably more demanding than Mondstadt. Just wandering around Mondstadt is NOT a valid test. Geekerwan and some other reviewers in China uses characters with skills that speeds them up (e.g. Yelan, Sayu, and now Lynette) to rush through the city. (Especially you can get Lynette for FREE.)
Awesome! If only most android flagship phones do have desktop mode like Samsung DeX it would be awesome. I am currently using S23Ultra and DeX mode / desktop mode is indeed a feature that ALL android flagship phones should have.
fun thing is, i have s22 ultra and mate 20 pro, and pixel 6. And guess what, I can play genshin with highest settings@60fps smoothly on only mate 20 pro, other 2 sucks with this game due to short pauses due to heavy throttling. mate 20 pro is quite old device yet its performing much better than this new devices, I'm definitely surprised.
Good day ETA Prime, do you mind added on to test out this Android game for all your testing - Golf Battle? As this game works very well on Redmi Note 9S, but when play on Xiaomi Pad 6 must set 60Hz refresh rate then it works well.
Seeing such great gaming performance is really awesome, and gets me super excited for the basicly 0 gaming I do on my phone, especially taking into account that my current and previous phones have what was the flagship Qualcomm SoC when I bought them (SD 888 and SD 845 respectively). Modern phones are too expensive nowadays, flagship killer phones with top tier SoCs at a midrange price don`t seem to exist anymore, and most manufacturers stop supporting older phones before the hardware becomes obsolete, so as cool and impressive as all this performance is, I`m not sure it`s worth it, alteast for someone like me who finds that the only games that actually work well on a phone (input methods, ergonomics, and the general method of interaction with the game) are the types of games that don`t need or take advantage of all that power, and also the types of games I don`t enjoy playing, aside from the odd quick distraction From a pure technical standpoint though, and ignoring my rant about phone prices and my issues with touch controls in most games aside, that is some genuinly impressive performance, and I hope we`ll see a similar uplift in lower tier devices as well
"flagship killer phones with top tier SoCs at a midrange price don`t seem to exist anymore". Lol the POCO F5 with 8gb ram Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset goes toe on toe with the snapdragon 8+ gen 1 all for about $350. There are a lot of flagship killer chipsets but most brands dont bother putting that in mid range phones (especially samsung).
@@wesley.zago120 my last 2 phones have been "flagship killers" (Poco f1 and Realme GT), because of the high end performance at a midrange price (and other flahsip features like 120hz oled screen, in screen fingerprint sensor and 65w fast charging in the case of the realme), but I`ve found that while having all that performance is nice, I almost never find myself actually needing it, android (admitedly rarely) stutters and locks up even on the best SoC, and it was already kind of painfull to pay the launch discount price of 500€ on the Realme... I might buy another phone with a flagship SoC if another flagship killer comes out with a featureset and pricetag that get me excited, otherwise I`ll stick with my current phone untill it dies, or until midrange phones offer a meaningful performance improvement over my SD888.
@@aizen716 that is probably the biggest reason why I`ll probably never buy a Samsung, and why I`ve previously gone Poco and Realme. We`ll wait and see what comes out over the next several months, but I`ll probably end up going Realme again...
I think you're confusing xiaomi with Huawei who was banned in the u.s. when Trump was president over spying tech they had in their phones... I've been using xiaomi phones on T-Mobile for about 4 yrs now. You have to buy the global version instead of the Chinese version in order for it to work in the u.s. though...and it has to be a GSM provider.
Most demanding in ps2 emulation in my opinion are three games. 1.Sly copper series 2.NFS most wanted 3.NFS Underground 2 They are more demanding games then god of war 2
I've seen a video 2 years ago of someone downloading windows on their phone and actually playing some games on it. the phone wasn't even running a flagship cpu, I just wonder what this would be capable of !
I want to see Resident Evil Village running because everyone thinks it's only on IOS! Also would like to know if you can change the resolution when outputting to a TV?
I have seen a few real-life tests, and the Xiaomi 14 Pro is similar to the SD8G2 for most tests. Maybe it is Xiaomi's poor optimisation, or that it is clocked lower than the limits, or the thermals, which are bad, but it is unimpressive compared to the benchmarks that are usually in performance mode, so for 90% of users are irrelevant. For anyone with an SD8G2, the obvious applies: don't bother at all, as little else is upgraded worthy of note. The iPhone 15PM was a significant upgrade because Apple delayed its new GPU and 3nm chip last year. The SD8G3 phones will need a lot of marketing to shift, and for anyone even coming from older phones, my best advice is to pass and wait for the next-gen Oryon, which will be a significant upgrade compared to this.
I tend to agree. Maybe not initially; but, in any sort of endurance test I expect the 8G3 in the Xiaomi to start throttling hard from overheating while the 8G2 will keep going strong thanks to RedMagic's vaunted cooling system. The RedMagic 9, whenever it comes out, is going to be the definition of "Beast Mode" with its 8G3 + adequate cooling.
Seeing just a little bit of stutter in the native Android games is the most furstrating thing ever for an Android advocate like I do. Like why Android cannot run decently, especially for a simple game like Minecraft? It's like inefficiency still remains at a fundamental level and can never be solved indefinitely as the software and hardware progress.
It could have been problems with the video. I have a low end device with a g99 and it can play most of the games I want(I don't really play genshin or something like that) but it's not much of a difference between the 5yr old redmi note 4 I had........ However I have experienced no stutters except for high end emulators like GameCube and PS2.
Testing the charge capabilities might be nice to see, a lot of people have misconceptions about how for example Samsungs 45w charging works, so itd be nice to see how that phone's charging works. For Samsung, you dont just flat out get 45w charging, how fast your charging is depends on the phones battery level, when around 20% or so is when 45w charging would be enabled BUT lessens as it charges.
@@bananaboy482 Yes, but A LOT of people dont understand thats how it works with High Watt charging, they expect it to Always be high powered charging and complain when they see they are only getting normal 20-25ish. (They also dont understand it depends on the cable as well not just the charger/phone). Look at reviews for high powered chargers and you'll see a lot of the complaints have to do with their not understanding how it works.
I have two games that are hard to emulate for GameCube and was curious how they perform those games being Tony hawk American wasteland and spider man video game
Does it have bypass charging like in ROG and Nubia red magic 8s? I really need that features in gaming. So that i can plug my device 24 hours a day without thinking about the battery
Is opengl really more accurate than vulkan? I`ve only encountered minor graphical glitches in few games that`s got fixed by switching to opengl. But I would choose vulkan any day just for the big performance difference
Genshin Impact on Iphone A17 for me on par with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 tho. The difference is fps drop. 8gen2 can handle long lasting Genshin Impact play, meanwhile A17 can maintain 60fps for only 30min,after that fps will drop same with 8Gen2

If Samsung does make it let's hope they take it seriously and prove to the world they can get behind their past otherwise business will hurt them in the long run.
Thank you ETA 👍
Snapdr8 Gen3 is a good advancement.
Kindest regards, friends and neighbours.
Great video! I hope you can bring the Nubia Red Magic S9 Pro 🙏
Are you still making a review for the Ayn Odin 2 and if you are can you please compare this Gen 3 to the Odin 2.
Are you going to include winlator or other windows emulation in phone reviews in the future?
Seeing you play Gran Turismo on a phone surprised me. I tried to do the same thing a few years ago and failed😅
Nice ! I'm looking so bad into Yuzu and Switch emulation on Snap8Gen3. I'll be waitting for a test ! Nice job =D
What happened to skyline emulator?
@@nishikun867 got merged with Yuzu
Also if Genshin Impact is tested plz test it AT LEAST IN SUMERU CITY, if not Fontaine. The game has been out for some years and Sumeru City (and possibly Fontaine) is noticeably more demanding than Mondstadt. Just wandering around Mondstadt is NOT a valid test.
Geekerwan and some other reviewers in China uses characters with skills that speeds them up (e.g. Yelan, Sayu, and now Lynette) to rush through the city. (Especially you can get Lynette for FREE.)
really great videos ! thank you ! also, is this generation of xiaomi, still using Sony sensors ? or did they using Samsung sensors now ?
I hope others will bring their AAA games for SD8G3
Awesome! If only most android flagship phones do have desktop mode like Samsung DeX it would be awesome.
I am currently using S23Ultra and DeX mode / desktop mode is indeed a feature that ALL android flagship phones should have.
Finally USB Video output. Now to wait for the redmi series.
"We haven't seen anything this powerful in an Android phone yet" 👀 Something about this statement is too funny
fun thing is, i have s22 ultra and mate 20 pro, and pixel 6. And guess what, I can play genshin with highest settings@60fps smoothly on only mate 20 pro, other 2 sucks with this game due to short pauses due to heavy throttling. mate 20 pro is quite old device yet its performing much better than this new devices, I'm definitely surprised.
Good day ETA Prime, do you mind added on to test out this Android game for all your testing - Golf Battle? As this game works very well on Redmi Note 9S, but when play on Xiaomi Pad 6 must set 60Hz refresh rate then it works well.
Finally!!!!!!!!! Other youtubers didnt talked about this phone
Seeing such great gaming performance is really awesome, and gets me super excited for the basicly 0 gaming I do on my phone, especially taking into account that my current and previous phones have what was the flagship Qualcomm SoC when I bought them (SD 888 and SD 845 respectively). Modern phones are too expensive nowadays, flagship killer phones with top tier SoCs at a midrange price don`t seem to exist anymore, and most manufacturers stop supporting older phones before the hardware becomes obsolete, so as cool and impressive as all this performance is, I`m not sure it`s worth it, alteast for someone like me who finds that the only games that actually work well on a phone (input methods, ergonomics, and the general method of interaction with the game) are the types of games that don`t need or take advantage of all that power, and also the types of games I don`t enjoy playing, aside from the odd quick distraction
From a pure technical standpoint though, and ignoring my rant about phone prices and my issues with touch controls in most games aside, that is some genuinly impressive performance, and I hope we`ll see a similar uplift in lower tier devices as well
I can say that rhythms games profit a lot from the touchscreen, it's great, but most of the time they don't need all that power either lol
man, just buy a mid range phone, and you will save a lot of money...
"flagship killer phones with top tier SoCs at a midrange price don`t seem to exist anymore". Lol the POCO F5 with 8gb ram Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset goes toe on toe with the snapdragon 8+ gen 1 all for about $350. There are a lot of flagship killer chipsets but most brands dont bother putting that in mid range phones (especially samsung).
@@wesley.zago120 my last 2 phones have been "flagship killers" (Poco f1 and Realme GT), because of the high end performance at a midrange price (and other flahsip features like 120hz oled screen, in screen fingerprint sensor and 65w fast charging in the case of the realme), but I`ve found that while having all that performance is nice, I almost never find myself actually needing it, android (admitedly rarely) stutters and locks up even on the best SoC, and it was already kind of painfull to pay the launch discount price of 500€ on the Realme...
I might buy another phone with a flagship SoC if another flagship killer comes out with a featureset and pricetag that get me excited, otherwise I`ll stick with my current phone untill it dies, or until midrange phones offer a meaningful performance improvement over my SD888.
@@aizen716 that is probably the biggest reason why I`ll probably never buy a Samsung, and why I`ve previously gone Poco and Realme. We`ll wait and see what comes out over the next several months, but I`ll probably end up going Realme again...
What is the game controller you’re using? Thxxx
You can actually still crank up the resolution in Gamecub if you are using Vulkan and right settings
You're the First one to make this kind of video for Snap gen 3, I guess ❤
Is the hyperos more ads? Mi os can be annoying on some situation. Pls compare it with D9300 and real life gaming, with all features in ultra mode
I used to love Xiaomi hardware before they started getting blacklisted in the US. Also the MIUI is my favorite skin
Why blacklisted?
I think you're confusing xiaomi with Huawei who was banned in the u.s. when Trump was president over spying tech they had in their phones... I've been using xiaomi phones on T-Mobile for about 4 yrs now. You have to buy the global version instead of the Chinese version in order for it to work in the u.s. though...and it has to be a GSM provider.
Did you use updated Mesa turnip Vulkan drivers for yuzu? I did on my POCO F5 PRO and I got it to work nicely
Most demanding in ps2 emulation in my opinion are three games.
1.Sly copper series
2.NFS most wanted
3.NFS Underground 2
They are more demanding games then god of war 2
black and shadow of the Colossus
I've seen a video 2 years ago of someone downloading windows on their phone and actually playing some games on it. the phone wasn't even running a flagship cpu, I just wonder what this would be capable of !
aww I wanted to see switch emulation so bad, it's what I care most about on my next tablet down the line
I like a comparison video between this phone and Unihertz Tank 3
Love the controller you use with the ppsspp, can you please tell me which model is?
I want to see Resident Evil Village running because everyone thinks it's only on IOS! Also would like to know if you can change the resolution when outputting to a TV?
RE Village is exclusive to iOS at the moment.
@@mathsrodrigues667 if you exclude termux
I have seen a few real-life tests, and the Xiaomi 14 Pro is similar to the SD8G2 for most tests. Maybe it is Xiaomi's poor optimisation, or that it is clocked lower than the limits, or the thermals, which are bad, but it is unimpressive compared to the benchmarks that are usually in performance mode, so for 90% of users are irrelevant.
For anyone with an SD8G2, the obvious applies: don't bother at all, as little else is upgraded worthy of note. The iPhone 15PM was a significant upgrade because Apple delayed its new GPU and 3nm chip last year. The SD8G3 phones will need a lot of marketing to shift, and for anyone even coming from older phones, my best advice is to pass and wait for the next-gen Oryon, which will be a significant upgrade compared to this.
nice info, yeah sd8g2 is cheaper at least! :)
Like always... awesome video 😁
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD PHONEEE
Cannot wait to see how excited ETA will be when he tests MTK D9300😆
yeah, i would like to know too, 9300 on emulation
The gen 2 made me upgrade from the s22 ultra to the 23 ultra. Guess ill be probably doing it again😂
Heard Europe will have Exynos, want that rumour to be false
Not on the ultra
man my first thing I did with my first smartphone nowadays is shut the RAM swap a.k.a "Expandable RAM" off
Weird but I can see it stuttering when you play Minecraft. Maybe 8 gen 4 will actually be good enough to not struggle with Minecraft
I have the 13 pro, great video. Would love to see some Fortnite next time, as I wonder if the stuttering from the game is due to poor optimization
His hands makes the phone look small
While me with 6.67" display: this phone is too wide!
ultra powerful phones have never done it for me but still cool to see
Hi eta! the clear case comes with the titanium version of the Xiaomi 14 pro.
That camera bump is massive!
How warm does it get compared to the black shark 4 pro when gaming
I still believe the Redmagic 8S Pro 16GB will beat it out do a head to head for emulation!!!
I tend to agree. Maybe not initially; but, in any sort of endurance test I expect the 8G3 in the Xiaomi to start throttling hard from overheating while the 8G2 will keep going strong thanks to RedMagic's vaunted cooling system.
The RedMagic 9, whenever it comes out, is going to be the definition of "Beast Mode" with its 8G3 + adequate cooling.
Why you put a phone with no front screen hole ??? Why ?
The thumbnail is incorrect. The dimensity 9300 outperforms it on all benchmarks, though it is to be seen how this translates to actual use.
Seeing just a little bit of stutter in the native Android games is the most furstrating thing ever for an Android advocate like I do. Like why Android cannot run decently, especially for a simple game like Minecraft? It's like inefficiency still remains at a fundamental level and can never be solved indefinitely as the software and hardware progress.
Minecraft is definitely not a "simple" game, especially if you put all the settings to the max like I assume he did.
It could have been problems with the video. I have a low end device with a g99 and it can play most of the games I want(I don't really play genshin or something like that) but it's not much of a difference between the 5yr old redmi note 4 I had........
However I have experienced no stutters except for high end emulators like GameCube and PS2.
You say its the first time youve been able to run Tatsu on an android device at 1080... But what about the odin 2? Apparently that runs it at 3x res..
Testing the charge capabilities might be nice to see, a lot of people have misconceptions about how for example Samsungs 45w charging works, so itd be nice to see how that phone's charging works. For Samsung, you dont just flat out get 45w charging, how fast your charging is depends on the phones battery level, when around 20% or so is when 45w charging would be enabled BUT lessens as it charges.
That's how it works in every mobile device
@@bananaboy482 Yes, but A LOT of people dont understand thats how it works with High Watt charging, they expect it to Always be high powered charging and complain when they see they are only getting normal 20-25ish. (They also dont understand it depends on the cable as well not just the charger/phone).
Look at reviews for high powered chargers and you'll see a lot of the complaints have to do with their not understanding how it works.
Samsung has video over USB C. Thing that Xiaomi never puts un any smartphone.
@@DonMr and that has to do with.....?
@@DigitalIP Noting in this case, but IS very useful, sometimes.
Imagine the rog 6 with the beautiful display and this chip.
If not taking drivers into account 8 Gen 3 is dethroned by Dimensity 9300 now, given both treated equally seriously by vendors.
Btw ETA you can already push COD mobile to 120fps below the fps settings
Sammy's Ultra 24 will reportedly be faster than this.
If it can run GOW 2 that powerful this device is literally than any PC that i have ever build in my life
I have two games that are hard to emulate for GameCube and was curious how they perform those games being Tony hawk American wasteland and spider man video game
Awesome! Please run Winlator on this phone!!!
Does it have bypass charging like in ROG and Nubia red magic 8s? I really need that features in gaming. So that i can plug my device 24 hours a day without thinking about the battery
is it a good idea to use a phone with the Chinese Rom? They made updating to international ROM impossible when it launches
Can do video on gran turismo 4 emu on these SD gen 2 & 3 on long play time? Would love to see how they perform
Is opengl really more accurate than vulkan? I`ve only encountered minor graphical glitches in few games that`s got fixed by switching to opengl. But I would choose vulkan any day just for the big performance difference
Vulken is better for AMD hardware
Itd be cool to see a snapdragon 8 gen 3 android tablet
Nicely explained 👍🏻✌🏻💯
Genshin Impact on Iphone A17 for me on par with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 tho. The difference is fps drop. 8gen2 can handle long lasting Genshin Impact play, meanwhile A17 can maintain 60fps for only 30min,after that fps will drop same with 8Gen2
Dimensity 9300: Hold my beer
Yes please make a game performance vid!
The gen 3 is in the house lets go 💪
What is that android gaming console called?..... And which brand?
Xiaomi is excellent value.... They also have amazing tablets
