Conclusion
Contents
The Xiaomi 14 is impressively compact and easy to hold, despite its smaller screen size. Its performance is top-notch, thanks to the powerful processor. Occasionally, I notice the backplate getting warm, likely due to the efficient cooling system.
The camera system, especially the main camera, is outstanding. Even when using the telephoto lens, stabilization remains excellent. As for video capabilities, I appreciate the inclusion of 4K front and 8K back recording. The inclusion of 10-bit log is a nice touch. Handheld videos are remarkably stable, and enabling Steady Video or Steady Video Pro enhances stability further, albeit at the cost of HD (1080) resolution.
The built-in editor allows convenient HDR video editing and export. For those seeking 5G speeds, this phone supports most commonly used 5G SA and NSA bands, along with VoNR. You can opt for either SIM + eSIM or dual SIMs.
Regarding Wi-Fi, the Xiaomi 14 boasts Wi-Fi 7 and MLO support. If you have a compatible router, you can achieve blazing benchmark speeds of 2+ Gbps (I personally use a 2.5 Gbps fiber broadband service).
In summary, the Xiaomi 14 is a versatile device that excels in night photography and stable video recording. Its impressive link speeds in both 5G and Wi-Fi 7 make it a great choice.
