The Xiaomi 14 stands out for its excellence in taking photos, featuring a renewed triple main camera under the Leica brand, which combines 3 lenses:
Wide-angle 50 MP with aperture f/1.6 at 23mm
Ultra-wide-angle 50 MP with aperture f/2.2 at 14mm
Telephoto 50MP with aperture f/2.0 at 75mm and 3.2x optical zoom
The three lenses essentially offer four focusing levels - 0.6x with the ultra-wide-angle, 1x and 2x with the main, and 3.2x with the telephoto.
Leica Floating Lens
The 75mm floating lens from Leica surpasses spatial limitations, allowing the lens to move within the camera. This allows for focusing to range from 10cm to infinity, providing immense possibilities for both close-up and long-distance shots.

Very nice phone but it gets warm with many apps open, but it works photos and videos amazingly. It loses a bit of battery at night, about 1 day and something, but it charges very quickly. In hand, it is exactly what you want for a mobile and not huge like the others. I have had it for 4 months and I am satisfied that I paid so much for a phone for the first time......
I had an iPhone 14 Pro. The device was super. Whatever you wanted to do, it did it without problems. However, with this drowned and silly iOS, I could never get used to it. It was sold and I got the Xiaomi 14. Exactly like the iPhone. Super fast, does what you want without problems and it's Android.
By far the best compact Android device. Incredible camera, very fast with good battery life. If we were to look for a negative, it might be the material on the back (not Victus) and the software, which although improved from previous Xiaomi models, is still quite behind Samsung's OneUI.
Having in my possession a flagship mobile phone for about 1.5 months now, and being quite knowledgeable in the field of mobile phones, I will try to help you as much as possible if you are hesitant about buying it. I will start with the most important aspect for me, the camera. Except for the selfie camera, I really have no complaints about the others. They are excellent. Comparing it to the iPhone 15 of a close friend of mine in various lighting conditions, I can say that the colors are much more realistic, there are more details, and they are reliable. However, I knew the Achilles' heel of this phone when I bought it, the selfie camera. I wish I could say the same, but it significantly lags behind in this aspect, especially compared to the quality of all the other areas. I will quickly pass over the processor and software, I have nothing to say about them. The screen is of very high quality, impressive colors, and great resolution. Now, the speakers... unfortunately, I expected them to be louder during calls and in general use. The sound is clear and decent, but the truth is, I wanted them to be a bit louder without actually being so weak that it bothers me and I consider it a significant complaint. In summary, it is indeed an excellent mobile phone, with a very good camera (excluding the selfie camera), screen, software, and overall, it is worth its price. You pay 750 euros for it and you get your money's worth. It's worth it...
First time I buy such an expensive device. Some things are impressive compared to the devices I have bought so far, some not so much. The Gen3 performs well but its consumption and heating are very annoying. I have little experience in this category (mostly from friends' devices) but I believe it is competitive with the rest. Would I buy it again? It's a lot of money Aris... If you need such devices, however, it is a good choice.
Simply flawless in everything! I have tried almost all the flagships. Very good implementation this year from xiaomi I did not expect. Coming from s23 ultra.
In no case is it worth buying it as a flagship that wants to be called. Okay, it is fast but only because of the faster processor it has. Otherwise, the software provided by the company for such an expensive mobile is terrible and has many problems. I had the OnePlus 8t and it ran much better even after so many years without all these problems.
In my hands since 30/4. Nothing special so far. Especially in terms of download speed of applications, just slow. Only one update on HyperOs on 31/5. Comparison is made with my previous device, mi 10t. Battery life seems quite good! Overheats easily, not only during charging.
I have it since it came out in March '23.
It is a flagship.
top processor
fast. perfect photos. perfect video and in the "movie" option it really feels like playing in a movie.
very good fast charging (although you need to activate it from the boost in the options because it raises the temperature if you charge with 90w)
the only negative is that it raises the temperature a lot in Monster hunter now (mobile game like Pokemon go) which is online.
Initially it had an issue with videos freezing for the first 2 seconds but now with an update it has been fixed.
perfect purchase. and at 750 there is nothing better now
Great device but I changed 3 devices to DOA because they had lens fogging. 2 white defective, 1 black functional in the end.
The white ones with the IMEI I saw were much older devices so something was going on...
The black one, much more recent production, had one spider web on the first day which never bothered the screen afterwards. After that, it writes 2 hours 8k in a row in cold and hot weather and doesn't do anything, it took a serious 7-day test.
I won't say much, Xiaomi's crazy scam should take a stand and take back all the phones with issues without much fuss, the least it should do is not to make 1000 euros a small amount of money...
I had the Xiaomi Mi9 for 5 years, I had drunk its blood, I make 4k60 videos 2 or 3 times a week, so whoever knows, knows... the only issue was its battery, of course!
The Xiaomi 14 really kills everything in a compact device... I hope it stays that way for quite a while!
Really, whoever gets it, only from an official store, to have peace of mind if they find lens fogging.
Nevertheless, it is a serious construction, the cameras are killer, except for the wide angle which doesn't impress me that much.
Hyper OS will surely improve in future updates, I believe that's how software and Xiaomi go
The best Android of the year! Latest processor and more powerful. The best implementation of it. It doesn't lag anywhere, you can't even tell which function is being performed, it's seamless. The camera is better than the flagship models of other competitors, with many extra features. The speaker, I don't even need to discuss it, it's one of its selling points. Overall, I change devices every month and I have tried all the top ones this year. The issues mentioned in other reviews (regarding imported devices and not Infoquest) have been fixed with the software update, and there is absolutely no flaw in the hardware or software of the mentioned Xiaomi flagship. From me, get it with your eyes closed. !!!
I have seen negative comments, I don't know where the kids got it from, but...
The phone works great, takes good photos, doesn't lag, doesn't heat up even with demanding gaming, yes it's a bit pricey.. would I buy it again? Yes, I would choose it again, if they gave me the money back? Yes, the photos, thanks to Leica, take a bit of time to get used to, the battery easily lasts a day, I still have 10 to 17% left at the end, that's all.
The camera's main lens becomes blurry/foggy after a few seconds of video recording and the footage is unusable...otherwise, the phone is fast with a nice screen. If you don't use it to shoot photos and video then it's a good phone
It was purchased 7 days ago from a well-known chain. The lenses fogged up as soon as I went to take photos at night. I returned it and showed them the lenses. I am waiting for a refund!! It is not worth it under any circumstances!!
For the past 2 years I have been constantly changing flagship phones from the 3 well-known companies in Greece
Xiaomi-apple-samsung
Having gone through many devices such as
S22/s23 ultra
Iphone 12 pro max/iphone 15
Xiaomi 12/xiaomi 12 pro
I can say that I really consider it the most honest as a mobile phone compared to the others
What do I mean? (For the iPhone friends)
Clearly apple has very good quality but it cannot give 60Hz refresh rates on €900 phones, such small batteries with slow charging, very good operating system of course but personally I think it is not worth it with the upgrades that Android devices have received (the software has become much cleaner) and besides that it must stop the complex that is so closed as software.
As for samsung.
Last android phone before the xiaomi 14. I had much higher expectations from the device because of the name and the price since it was €1500 from the Greek representation
1 (many bugs)
2 (every time you took out the s-pen from the phone it smelled burnt)
3) issue many times in calls as when you put and remove the call on hold the line was dead (many software issues that I will not analyze 1/1)
So after 1.5 years I returned to Xiaomi flagship.
I understood that personally I will not change it again because it has taken much larger dimensions and quality from its competition in Android devices. (They cannot be compared with the iPhone purely because of the software and mentality, it is different that some users do not like apple)
Leica sensors that have nothing to do with the Sony that the xiaomi 12 pro had and especially with the dark lenses of the samsung competitor
90watt charging from 0-100 in 34 minutes (measured with a timer, of course I had open forgotten data)
And the most basic thing, the stupid Miui is gone and the Hyper os came much more relaxed and cleaner also from its predecessor.
I have seen reviews about moisture on the lenses and many who are thinking of not buying the phone because of this.
I must say that no device is perfect but it does not mean that all the pieces produced by each company in each device will produce moisture.
Apple on the other hand with the 15 series has issues with overheating and many times will have restarts on much more expensive devices (15 pro max)
As for samsung I don't even discuss it
So my personal opinion. Get whichever phone you think suits you and do not be afraid (if it will cause a problem)
No way for this money! A fake thing, zero quality! The only thing worth it is the processor and nothing else! I had the 13t pro, I gave it away and got this one and regretted it! Get the 13t pro instead of this one. For those of you who didn't like my review, when the lenses fog up, sit with the hairdryer to defog them! A €1000 phone should not have such issues! Let me talk about the brightness that claims to reach 3000 nits, not even close, it has some issue because when you are outside in the sun, the automatic brightness does not go all the way up, I don't know if it's a sensor issue... The 13t pro was much brighter without any issues under the sun. Zero build quality! The back feels like plastic (black color) and the aluminum frame is nothing special, it doesn't give any sense of sturdiness. As for the cameras that caused so much hype, no, they are not what they say... The 13t pro was the top for me. We didn't know to spend so much money and hang it on a hanger to dry the cameras... Big fail! Oh, I forgot to mention, when you are in the settings menu and scroll at 120hz, the letters seem to drag along with the scrolling! What is this for €1000! Xiaomi's big failure, I regret my money, what a shame!
What can one say? Pocket computer! Very convenient size if you are tired of the 6.7 inches (like me), the camera is amazing in all conditions (coming from p40 pro), snapdragon gen 3 beast and the battery, despite its size, easily lasts a day with heavy use. I have 2 sim data all day, with 3 hours of calls and intense use due to work. Of course, the charging is ridiculously fast, so there is no worry about the battery issue.
Replaced my redmi note 9 pro. My first contact with a flagship and the difference is noticeable from the beginning. Very fast, extremely vibrant colors (try the p3 color scheme in the settings), very good speaker, perfect size, lightweight and beautiful. I won't comment on the cameras because they don't particularly concern me, everyone else will do that anyway.
The 90-watt charging and 0-100 in 30 minutes apply only if the screen is off. If you use it while charging for protection reasons, the charging speed is significantly reduced.
If you want a powerhouse mobile in a compact size because you're tired of the 7-inch giants, then this is what you're looking for.
I have it in my hands for 2 days.
All its features are very good.
Very nice size, it's not the 6.7" which is huge in the hand and pocket.
Fast, trouble-free, good cameras, very good video, incredible Dolby Atmos sound that is a real experience.
What bothered me? As soon as I got it, I went out at night to take my dog for a walk and I opened it to shoot a video and I noticed that suddenly the image started to blur. What I found out is that due to the temperature difference between the lens and the external temperature of 12 to 18 degrees Celsius, condensation is created inside the lens glass, resulting in not being able to shoot a video for more than a minute in an outdoor environment unless it is put in a pocket, car, or house.
A big flaw in my opinion from Xiaomi.
Under the same conditions, I tested the iPhone 13 Pro Max and had no problem.
Of course, this won't happen in the summer, but if you travel abroad to a colder country or when it gets cold, you can't operate it normally.
I am seriously considering returning it because it also costs 1000 euros.
For those who are considering it, read forums where they say that the same thing happened with the older 12 and 13 models.
One of the best purchases I have made, worth every euro!
Any doubt I had about the high cost I paid was eliminated from the very first moment I saw the quality of the materials, the speed at which the software and operating system respond, the photo and video capture, the quality of the calls and signal, even the response to fingerprints which is really fast.
