I love how you do the review just wandering around the city, as opposed to doing it in a studio or some other controlled environment. Just gives the video a very laid back feel.
We are waiting for you to review the new Xiaomi 14 Ultra phone because your reviews are very wonderful and we will always support you@@bensgadgetreviews
Exactly! Been following Ben for years, and he's about to grow exponentially, deservedly so. Takes a long time to pass 300k, but he's almost there. He manages to stay unique AND informative, not easy
now that it has 4k60 on the ff cam its a better value than the regular s24. and this is coming from an s24 ultra user. Great value! it's going to be better next year. 😁
Just finished watching the Barcelona launch event. 999 Euros for the 14. The 14 Ultra will be globally released with a European Price of 1499 Euros, and unannounced price for the Photography Kit.
@@hopexhope3985 12gb 256gb is lowest option in eu in the netherland you get a free xiaomi pad 6 and 100 euros off as a early bird gift. and the 14 ultra 1299 plus Photography kit.
Here in Malaysia I can get this phone for around $620 only for 12GB/256GB model, pretty damn cheap here 😁 and the Pro model cost around $710 for the same storage configuration, both phone are import set model since the global model will be launch next month in Malaysia
@tomharris7689 The official global version just announced few days ago at Malaysia, selling at RM3499 (~USD745) for 12GB+256GB version, and preorder come with free Xiaomi S3 watch, and extended warranty
The idea of the device is nice. But camera shake is huge. And switching from regular to zoom shifts the colors greatly. Its like to different manufactures of the camera model. And no color and exposure matching in software.
Just bought it, the Chinese Variant one. I'm so amazed, just facing minor problem when using camera because it heats up when using 4K 60 FPS to the point where the video becomes glitchy. Other than that this phone is a beast, the video and images quality is so good.
there is a setting for the notification bar if you don't want the split type of setting you can have it the old way you swipe down and you get both the notifications and the shortcuts in one swipe
Hello from Malaysia. Good video, i am glad Ugreen products been getting the recognition they deserved. They are pretty high quality product. Our specs for Xiaomi 14 its actually a 12GB Ram version priced at RM3499 (256GB) or RM3799 (512GB).
Tbh this looks very decent, a much better entry level flagship from xiaomi and i like the size and flat display. Problem is that this phone kind of makes no sense at all in europe or the UK given the crazy price the are asking which is the same or more than the competition. At 1000 euros its is almost the price as an iphone 15 pro and more than a galaxy s24 which is just insane. The pixel 8 is also half the price. Then if you compare it to the price of importing a Oneplus 12 for example, the OP12 will cost you up to 400 euro less. Xiaomi has also decided to make importing from asia not possible for some territories as they dont support LTE band 20 on china only models.
xiaomi 14 12 gb of ram/ 256 gb storage... for 999... s24 with 8g 256 = 959... plz and iphone 15 pro 256 gb = 1300 euros...Think a little more before writing crap.
Ben needs to do a 14ultra vs magic 6 pro vs vivo x100 pro plus. As from a price point even the Samsung ultra seems cheaper then the Xiaomi 14 ultra. £1400 is a lot of money
@@DDN_씨 i can forgive Samsung since they have two sizes. Except the increase of the S24+ to 6.7 inches for no reason. But the iPhone 16 Pro is rumoured to be 6.4 inches instead of 6.1.
2:23 Main camera fogs up... there are already few videos in Poland at least, people are in Barcelona and the main camera fogs up randomly LOL. Xiaomi said it happens when you walk from warm place to a colder place. Unacceptable, especially for this price, yes it cost around $1000 here.
Xiaomi 14 ($1016-1161) vs iPhone 15 ($870-950) What will you choose? Iphone is more consistent with software and hardware. Xiaomi is messing with consumers by releasing a global version months later. It runs snapdragon 3 and has 120hz but also higher price where i live. How about camera, haptics, speakers etc..
For camera and software the iPhone is probably better than 14 but the hardware 14 is better, as you can see from this video comparison we can clearly see the 14 struggle with night time photography even 14 has better hardware, and at some photos from day time iPhone also took better photo
@@pudinichigo91 I see the iphone 15 pro max wins on night time photography at 3:06 and 6:38. But other than that it took nice photos and better overall. Do you see more timestamps where the iphone wins? I also just read the xiaomi 14 has a macro lens. There is too many trades offs choosing a regular iphone 15.
Hey Ben! Want to see camera comparison video mainly for photography between vivo x100 pro vs Honor magic 6 pro vs Iphone 15 pro max vs Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra!
That's not fair to expect it to be priced like the FE. The FE isn't a flagship phone lol. The Xiaomi 14 is more premium than the standard S24 now let alone the S23 FE.
@@bensgadgetreviews Ahhh sorry about that man I thought the FE is still considered a "flagship" albeit a "lite" version since it's still under the flagship's series 😂😅 lol
Hey Ben, try doing a comparison between vivo x100 pro and xiaomi 14 pro if possible. These two have one of the best camera hardware right now (and both of them are globally available too)
@@eduard6450 I think pro will be available soon, along with the base 14. Ultra is not even out yet, and I really doubt whether it'll be globally available too.
HI, Ben, could you please help me out in deciding between Xiaomi 13pro or Xiaomi 14, i'm stuck in between. Considering the only point of pure photo quality and sensor size, i was prefering the 13pro 1". But 14 got my mind changed, with new chipset and more better dynamic ranges, the only downside being the "Sensor" which i didn't expect Xiaomi would be doing. And its a bit smaller. But X13pro is a bit costlier(dont know why) here than X14. Could you please help me sort out. Thanks in advance.
Hey Ben, thanks for the review, i wonder if can mi14 plug to another external monitor via usb c cable for desktop mode? As it become very handy if can use it for presentation via usb c to a tv or external monitor
that 3.2x is not steady in video, jitters heavily. btw how is that ugreen so tiny, I have a really really cheap ugreen 66w charger (less than $10), which is giant next to these pyra tech minis. and hong kong uses 3 pin plug no?
I imported mine (16+512) from China for 500 eur and it is by quite some margin the best "compact" flagship of 2024. The cameras are extremely capable, the design is breathtaking, the battery is very serviceable and HyperOS is full of nifty features. If network connectivity is good in your country, consider importing a chinese unit, much cheaper.
Good for long-term use, but if you swap out your phone regularly, it becomes worthless for trade-ins or secondhand (in the UK) as people will not pay for a Chinese ROM.
Looking forward to your review on the 14 Ultra, question that shop in HK you borrow buy from can you advise website might want to order in the future. Thank
Sad that Xiaomi pulled out from the premium market in Indonesia. I guess the business case isn't there for Xiaomi and they are content to just sell midrangers and the T series Xiaomi on the high end. I just want a small flagship with good tele camera.
Waiting for your review of the 14 Ultra, Ben. I trust and value your opinion and reviews and you walk about with the phones and don't just sit in front of a camera talking through the whole video.
Ben, great review and thank you as always. Will you do a 14 Ultra vs X7 Ultra review at some point? I'm really struggling to decide and value your opinion/testing. Thank you.

Hi Ben. Hope you are doing well. Kindly make a video ok Chinese version smartphone there differences to global version and how to use a Chinese version smartphone in Europe or worldwide.

It is a sweet lil thing. Now anxiously waiting for the review of the big dog: the 14 Ultra
This is so much better than the S24. Been waiting for such a good compact-ish phone. I'm glad i won't loose the tele from the 13 Pro when i switch.

6.36-6.4 inch phones should be a base model size. Looking at you Pixels 🧐.
Samsung and iphone too
