Xiaomi 14

“The Xiaomi 14 is a compact powerhouse with a very bright OLED display and excellent battery life.”

“The Xiaomi 14 is a pricey phone, but for the most part, it justifies it with excellent hardware and few drawbacks. Overall, the handset is a capable mini flagship with plenty of big-screen features - a full stack of excellent cameras, LTPO OLED, fast charging, solid battery life and plenty of storage.”

“The Xiaomi 14 retains the same design as its predecessor, and the 6.3-inch AMOLED panel is the ideal size — it isn't as small as the Zenfone 10 or as massive as the OnePlus 12. You get the latest hardware, IP68 water resistance, a decent-sized battery that lasts all day, 90W charging with 50W wireless charging, and a software that isn't as annoying to use as previous versions. But the biggest upgrade is at the back, the Xiaomi 14 has a trio of 50MP cameras that take magnificent photos and videos, and you're basically getting a Pro model at the cost of the standard variant.”

“The Xiaomi 14 shows that small phones don't need to have lesser specs, matching some of the best phones available today while measuring half an inch smaller. You'll struggle to buy it in the U.S., and other manufacturers are doing more with their software tricks right now, but Xiaomi's struck a very appealing balance with the 14's total package.”
