Xiaomi 14 (Jade Green, 12GB RAM, 512GB Storage) | 50MP Leica Professional Optics | 120 Hz 1.5K LTPO AMOLED | SD 8 Gen 3 Hyper OS

The media could not be loaded. I am using Xiaomi 14 from past 3 weeks.Earlier I was using Redmi K20 Pro from past 61 months, bought around ₹31K including 27W charger in 2019.Now, I was looking for compact form factor phone. I Did some research and comparison between S24, Pixel8, Xiaomi 14, iphone14. But eventually based on my research and watched few expert reviews on YouTube.Selected Samsung S24 and Xiaomi 14, but Decided to put money 💰 on Xiaomi 14 reason past experience with Mi flagship.Experience: Display size is just perfect, performance is superb (Not a gamer),Charging speed is mind boggling with its in the box 120W charger and wireless charging is also worked even with backcover on, Battery backup is good,Looks premium but I would definitely suggest to go for Matt Black option because back glass is fingure print magnet. 5G and wifi connectivity seems perfectly fine.Camera is a beast and you check my photo samples and video quality.Misses: If I have to point out any misses from this nearly perfect smartphone, I would say more AI features.Verdict: Deliver more value than its cost.

I have been using the phone for around 10 days now. I will give an unbiased reviewPros1. Proper flagship experience. It's very smooth to use and there is no room for any complaint in everyday usage.2. Display size and qualityThis phone has 6.36 inch screen which I feel is an optimum size. Quality of the display is also awesome. Phone also has top notch speakers.3. CameraThere are lot of reviews about the camera and I have attached a few simples. Camera performance is absolutely awesome.4. Build quality and looksThis phone is build very well and looks very premium if you are not using the cover. It looks like it will last5. Charging speedPhone can charge from 0-100 in under 30 minutes. But it heats up a lot while chargingCons1. Battery backup is average. Phone will give around 6-7 hour SOT if you are not playing games.2. Selfie camera is not upto mark3. Heats up a lot while charging4. Hyper OS is a bit different and takes some time to get used to it. It's not a deal breaker though. I have done underwater videography as well in 15 degree cold water for 10-15 minutes and it works so well and the clarity is really good and there has not been any fogging issue .At the current price, this phone is a steal

This device kills all the phones under 70k although I bought it for 47.5k. Tremendous camera, flagship level display quality, flagship level build quality, loud sound quality, quite good brightness, perfect in hand, great looking phone and filled with all the features.I had a doubt about the fogging issue still I bought it & I checked it but haven't got any fogging issue till now.----------Negative Points---------1. Although it has approx 4700mah battery, the battery optimisation could have been better and they can fix it with an update. But with 90w charging, few mins is enough to charge it fully.2. Heating issue is real in this phone although I am a normal user, but while using camera also I got some heat. But it's normal for any compact phone like Pixel 8, iPhone 15, S24 because they can't fit a great cooling chamber in this size of phone.I initially thought to buy iPhone 15 but I bought this because the things it provides at this price point, belive me if same specs is given by google or apple or samsung, They would charge 1lakh+

I'll be honest with you, i too was extremely skeptical of this purchase because of you know the camera fogging reviews, prior to this I've been a OnePlus user, i was using a 6t and i was very adamant of getting just 1+ 12 because i thought Xiaomi might not be worth the gamble as per the camera issues as camera being its main component next to the processor, but this phone is just amazing, battery has been lasting for more than a day for me (I don't play games or do some heavy usage) just a regular user, so please take a note of that.Haptics too are great but I don't really use them as much because it feels weird to have a vibration everytime i tap on the screen, but the vibration motor will be of great help when calls and notifications are recieved.Camera is as promised is brilliant. Display and processing of thermals and sound quality (calls and music) is good enough as well, i live in northern india, so it's pretty warm most of the time of the year so thermals are working well enough as the most heavy task i did till now was setting this phone up and it was smooth, ui is something that might bother you, if you have not used a Xiaomi device before this, but it grows on you, most of the bloatware (as there's some) can be either uninstalled or force stopped and removed from the app drawer (as i prefer a drawer system instead of pages).In hand feel is absolutely amazing i got the black variant so that I don't smudge the back panel with fingerprints, loved the back cover that's offered with the phone. Charging speed is not whopping fast but it's fast enough, as there are many 120w charging phones out there, you might feel it's slower than that but 30-45 mins in direct plugs instead of extensions, it goes 15-100. All in all, i got this phone at 48k 12/512 variant and I'm happy with my choice now.I hope the camera fogging issue whosoever is facing it, is addressed by Xiaomi soon, so that people can see that they have created a fiercely fast, compact deviceI'm not attaching any photo samples because the pictures that I've taken yet are personal to me, and my family but they are amazing, especially the Leica b/w shots (they literally force you to take b/w shots with their sheer brilliance in processing those images)Pardon me if there are any typos as i write slower than i think 😅

cameras are great. charging speed is good. battery backup is very good, whole day battery with heavy usage and moderate usage 1 day 9 hours. SOT is 6 hours 50 min till 10% battery life. Performance is good and improving with updates. most importantly it is very compact in size. No heating issue.
