@@Jobin.Thomas Pixel is a great phone. But in India pixel isn't a good option. The service support is miniscule. Camera is good but it's oversharpens images also no telephoto lens. You will have no reason to worry with xiaomi 14 battery backup, its even better than my budget phone big battery and cheap processor. You always have powerful charger and 10 mins of charge will keep it rolling. Camera is really good, even the videos at night are excellent, the camera tries it's best to reduce noise and it works well. I would say xiaomi 14 is a better alrounder compared to pixel, from build quality, camera, ui fluidity, sd 8gen3, battery backup, compact size. There is no camera Lens fogging either, mine is may 2024 manufactured unit and no issues.
This camera is so good I stopped using google camera. Finally!! It's almost as having a professional camera. Not oversharpened, clear detail, exquisite contrast and good color balance. Shooting in RAW in this phone is a game changer. The only thing I don't like is that zoom is not really 3.2 it's actually 2.6 (try changing the zoom manually and you'll notice) but the quality still slayss
Yeah, they use a crop for the zoom. It's just 2.6x optical zoom with a pretty weak sensor which is the worst among any of the Chinese brands at this price. That's the one area they need to improve to match Oppo, Vivo and Oneplus
Bought a Xiaomi 14 a month ago and I've been enjoying it. It was between this, a base S24, and a OnePlus 12, but the size and price of the Xiaomi won me over. The only gripe I have is the very iPhone like notifications bar, and the fact that I can't use Nova launcher anymore if I wanna use gesture navigation. Also some bloatware at first that mostly disappeared when I set my region to US.
Can you tell me how well or badly it manages to photograph moving objects (people/children)? I have the s24 ultra and it doesn't work that well. I also have a Xiaomi 14 lying around, but I haven't unpacked it yet.

I switched to X14 a month ago and never looking back! Top performance, good size and battery life(after some weeks battery life gone up to great thx to ai), insane camera setup, lightning fast charging. And to top it all off: I just discovered the phones photo and video editing capabilities which is exceptional. Well done Xiaomi! (Hope I won't get the lens condensation problem when the weather gets colder! XD)
@@_Funonwheels I don't think it does... but it's relative to what you compare to. If S23/24 is the standard you compare to (not Plus or Ultra from those series) I think it's making photos in general much better. The situation with videos are diffrent. In general S24 makes a bit better videos (we'll see how it changes with FW updates, but it is what it is for now) For the exposure: I made Moon pictures with the 3.2x lens in pro mode without the SuperMoon ai function... and I was shocked, that I could make out the Moons' surfaces contour. (of course I had to zoom in on the picture heavily but still) I saw a lot of fake videos on the net about X14, X14 Ultra or X13Tpro's so called Moon zooms and almost all of them are rubbish(fake, unrealisticly good). I know a littlebit of photography on amature level but for a phone, even the level I'm experiencing is amazing cause it's JUST a phone! So if you want a camera with great photography and solid video capability you can't go wrong with Xiaomi, but if you take more videos rather than photos, in my opinion you better choose S24. And there is the question of the ecosystem preference too: do you like Xiaomi's or Samsung's more? It's highly subjective.
I am looking at upgrading my 2 years old Samsung S22 and this video has provided a lot of information to make my next choice a Xiaomi 14. In my list of considerations are the Honor Magic 6 Pro, OnePlus 12 and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Still prefer a compact phone that is comfortable to use with 1 hand.

A good device. Slightly beaten by the Vivo X100 Pro in total for me. But the compact size I like much more for daily usage. Just the external mic issue with highly processing that sounds super artificial is still there and not fixed since the release last year. Too bad they did not fix it.
Recently switched from Pixel 6 to Xiaomi 14 Love the camera especially the Leica Authentic look & Portrait modes that it offers but the lens fogging issue is really unacceptable.

Excellent phone, BUT the camera lens fogging made this phone unusable for me, so I had to return it. Even though there are several reports on this, Xiaomi have shrugged this off and claim this is 'within normal tolerance' which is unacceptable for a premium product and this attitude should not be normalised imo. This has left me disappointed, but having been a long term Xiaomi fan I will at least consider future models. I just hope they learn...
The Telephoto lens is 2.6x not 3.2x as advertised by Xiaomi. Please slowly zoom in to something and see when the camera switch Lens from Main to Telephoto. It should switch from Main to Telephoto when you go past 3.1x. But, it switch lens when you go past 2.5x.
About the camera, a lot of people have uploaded videos, posted on the E-commerce site's review section that "this phone's camera is fogging up after some time of usage". I'm planning on buying it, please let me know if it's true or anyone else who have faced this issue.
Now coming 7 months after with this phone, one major issue I've faced was the lens fogging. And it was really an issue when i was on vacation to some cold places. Now after trying some tips on reddit the issue seems solved or maybe I've not been into such cold moist places again, it's not showing any fogging.
I purchased my Xiaomi three weeks ago, attracted by its features and reasonable price. However, I’m returning it due to the number of Chinese apps that cannot be removed and pop-ups, which significantly detract from the user experience. Additionally, the phone isn’t fully compatible with all features offered by the T-Mobile network. Is there an English-only version available?
Xiaomi 14 is awesome just I would love the Quad Curve Display & Variable aperture. Hopefully they include it from Xiaomi 14 Pro to Xiaomi 15 just like Xiaomi 13 Pro to Xiaomi 14 😅😅 InshaAllah Will updating from Honor 8!
Not for me and I live in a temperate climate and the weather has been fluctuating a lot lately. I hate that it has a hard time focusing as the reviewer also said
I currently have the vanilla 13T. Do you think it's now worth updating to the Xiaomi 14 or get the 14T instead? What matters are slightly better everything from general photos, videos (HDR, accuracy, low light, stabilisation, etc ) and battery life.
Rear lens fogging issues politely omitted by the most reviewers stops me from buying this device. All Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra are affected. Moisture inside smartphone isn't good.
I have the same question and was hoping @HoYoungWon would mention it in his video update. I emailed Xiaomi UK and they said --- "Pertaining to the inquiry, the following statement below is the official statement:
Lens fogging is a natural phenomenon that causes the camera lens fogging due to the temperature difference between the lens and the surrounding air in some specific use environments. This model supports IP68 waterproof, and the device is highly sealed. In special environments, fogging may occur due to changes in temperature between the inside and outside of the phone. But please rest assured that this is fogging, not water. After the phenomenon disappears, it will not have any impact on the camera function and will not affect the IP68 waterproof performance of the phone." I was just hoping to see what an actual customer using the phone said on the issue as I am still not convinced.
@@_Y_O_K_I_ The problem is that this is Real issue, basically a manufacturer's and design fault. I can't remember any other single phone that had or have it.
@@Yashjonwal8083 I'm from Switzerland so it's gonna be different but the name is "Imak Camera Protector" you can search for it 🙂 Xiaomi 14 Imak Camera Protector 🙂
using this phone for a week now. The camera and photos are amazing. The display and speaker are top notch. There are some cons with the phone. 1. HyperOS is still kinda feels slow compared to OneUI. And needs some patch and additional features like option to change screen from FHD to WQHD. It would be also amazing to add 120hz refresh rate on RUclips when you are using adaptive refresh rate.
Sorry but Hyper OS cannot compare to Origin OS or Funtouch OS in terms of stability and smoothness. Also the portrait mode in the camera is not consistent and natural as Vivo camera. I highly recommend IQOO 12 or Vivo X100 insteads of Xiaomi 14.
I have two issues using this phone. 1. The links in apps are not loading. Not clickable. I had to manually copy and paste in browser to open it. 2. There is no shortcut or real quick way to switch between keyboards. Always needs to visit settings to select the keyboard. For me, it important as I have two different keyboards for two languages. Any suggestion?
Extra dim is there but Xiaomi disabled it don't know why but through App "Miui hideen settings" from play Store Can enable it and stay parmanent extra dim shortcut is quick tails even u uninstall app from device
I am disapointed, I switched from p30 pro and it wasnt the upgrade I ecpected. Battery last the same Camera is a bit better but the p30 had better tool and pro settings. Usage, interface is the same as before. Many things arent as Smooth as before
You should've went for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Phones in general have gotten pricier. The Ultra model should be on the same tier as the P30 Pro. The regular Xiaomi 14 is competing with the iPhone 15 and Galaxy S23.
Never had it with 3 weeks so far and under cold climate with 0 celsius degrees minimums. It's still the biggest complaint I read in most videos about it.
Very good review! Can you confirm if the phone you tested has the Indian variant of the Global ROM? If so can you confirm if it has the Xiaomi dialer available along with the google dialer (as was the case with MIUI), or does it have the google dialer only?
When you scroll down it shows only symbols and not what those symbols do. I find that hard to remember which one is for which. Is there a way we can change settings where it shows symbol and the name of it. Hope you understand my question and sorry English is not my first language And you have not told how many years Android update
You can activate the extra dim feature through the activity launcher! Didn't know why they hide it that way! It's already built-in but for no reason, we nned to do an extra step just to turn that feature on! 😍
Hello everyone! I would like to ask if the " camera fogging" problem is still present with this phone. Are they going to fix it? or is there any solution like a case or lens protector for this problem? I would like to get a phone like this because I really like it, but I am worried that this problem will occur. Does anyone have any experience? Thanks in advance.

I bought the phone and it's great. but Their no protection for the ear speaker or the speaker on the top of front camera. is it just like that or my model is missing it?
How's the overheating issue? Im considering getting 14 soon, but early reviewers experienced some super heating to maintain the high performance score. (Btw, i use a lot of filming features and my Mix 4 is very buggy for that T.T)
the snapdragon 8 gen 3 (on like all phones with it) has some heat issues, its still smooth though on daily use and wont overheat in normal use either, all phones with it overheated in stress test benchmarks though
I like your reviews! Do you use a Chinese version of Xiaomi 14 with Chinese ROM? Do you have any issues using it in Korea? I also live in Korea and thinking of buying this little camera monster. Thanks for the videos! Extremely helpful!
Thank you very much! Yes, this is the Chinese version with China ROM. I've had no issues with it using it on KT other than the China-specific services/apps not working on it.
Hello everyone, I'm really confused between these 2 phones: Xiaomi 14 or Pixel 8. My main priority is the camera and secondary is battery backup. Any suggestions please!
The screen looks amazing and I haven't had any of the fogging problems I've read about around (mind I have only used the phone for 2 weeks, but in very cold climates with 0 celsius degrees minimums) and I've had no problems so far. Besides I bought the 1TB version, so top storage with a top (or at least competent) camera for a very nice price when compared to other brands available at my country (Samsung and Apple) The only problem I could note is that the WiFi connectivity is inferior to other phones, so if you are in a very big house, with only one modem/router, you might have trouble connecting to the internet when you are far from the WiFi source.
If your router is dual band 2.4+5GHs make sure they are separate because your phone will try to stay connected to the 5GHs band even if it's a weak signal if it's separate you can manually change between the two
@@hoyoungwon Almost all videos will have people mentioning that. In my case I bought a cover instead of using the one that comes in the box, maybe it's that?
@@nkubkbkuj Yeah, they are separated, I'll try making the phone forget the 5Ghz and see if something changes. It's the only phone where I've had this problem, all the others go straight for the 2.4, even when they know they can try the 5.8 one.
I have Xiaomi Redmi 10 and I would like to upgrade to this phone. Is there a way to upload all my data from my old phone into the new one? Like apps, photos, contacts, games, wallpapers and phone settings?
I used the Redmi Note 10S before and a month ago I just changed to Xiaomi 14 and I transferred all my data from my old phone to a new one with Mi Mover (default app in Xiaomi 14)

Excellent phone, BUT the camera lens fogging made this phone unusable for me, so I had to return it.
Even though there are several reports on this, Xiaomi have shrugged this off and claim this is 'within normal tolerance' which is unacceptable for a premium product and this attitude should not be normalised imo.
This has left me disappointed, but having been a long term Xiaomi fan I will at least consider future models. I just hope they learn...
The Telephoto lens is 2.6x not 3.2x as advertised by Xiaomi. Please slowly zoom in to something and see when the camera switch Lens from Main to Telephoto. It should switch from Main to Telephoto when you go past 3.1x. But, it switch lens when you go past 2.5x.
About the camera, a lot of people have uploaded videos, posted on the E-commerce site's review section that "this phone's camera is fogging up after some time of usage". I'm planning on buying it, please let me know if it's true or anyone else who have faced this issue.
Now coming 7 months after with this phone, one major issue I've faced was the lens fogging.
And it was really an issue when i was on vacation to some cold places.
Now after trying some tips on reddit the issue seems solved or maybe I've not been into such cold moist places again, it's not showing any fogging.
I purchased my Xiaomi three weeks ago, attracted by its features and reasonable price. However, I’m returning it due to the number of Chinese apps that cannot be removed and pop-ups, which significantly detract from the user experience. Additionally, the phone isn’t fully compatible with all features offered by the T-Mobile network. Is there an English-only version available?
U should pick a global rom version.
Xiaomi 14 is awesome just I would love the Quad Curve Display & Variable aperture. Hopefully they include it from Xiaomi 14 Pro to Xiaomi 15 just like Xiaomi 13 Pro to Xiaomi 14 😅😅 InshaAllah Will updating from Honor 8!
5:36 With how fast the 14T Pro is, I think the 15 can do the same when it's out.
Hello ho young won, I wanna ask between Huawei pura70 and Xiaomi 14 which is better for camera battery gaming and long last
Main camera Fog issue?
Not for me and I live in a temperate climate and the weather has been fluctuating a lot lately. I hate that it has a hard time focusing as the reviewer also said
It's so good i tried using it underwater and no lens fogging so far
I currently have the vanilla 13T. Do you think it's now worth updating to the Xiaomi 14 or get the 14T instead? What matters are slightly better everything from general photos, videos (HDR, accuracy, low light, stabilisation, etc ) and battery life.
do you have the master cinema mode in video , I don't have it my Xiaomi 14 global but 14 civi and 14 ultra have these.
Rear lens fogging issues politely omitted by the most reviewers stops me from buying this device. All Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra are affected. Moisture inside smartphone isn't good.
And it's definitely a deal breaker !!!
It's depends on location which ur living, cold climate locations may have fogg issues..
Well, it happened to me 2times and no more fogging after that
I have the same question and was hoping @HoYoungWon would mention it in his video update. I emailed Xiaomi UK and they said --- "Pertaining to the inquiry, the following statement below is the official statement:
Lens fogging is a natural phenomenon that causes the camera lens fogging due to the temperature difference between the lens and the surrounding air in some specific use environments. This model supports IP68 waterproof, and the device is highly sealed. In special environments, fogging may occur due to changes in temperature between the inside and outside of the phone. But please rest assured that this is fogging, not water. After the phenomenon disappears, it will not have any impact on the camera function and will not affect the IP68 waterproof performance of the phone."
I was just hoping to see what an actual customer using the phone said on the issue as I am still not convinced.
@@_Y_O_K_I_ The problem is that this is Real issue, basically a manufacturer's and design fault. I can't remember any other single phone that had or have it.
Is the battery quite enough for daily usage?
Yes
Camera fog issue there ?
Nope
I am watching this video on my iPhone 15 pro max but I have also mi 14 that’s why I am watching this video

thank you so much for showing real-world examples. even though i cant get this phone here in the states, i appreciate your videos!
Any camera foggy issues in this phone?
Does the camera lens get foggy.. i saw some video talk about it
Not this model that's only for ultra
Was there any lens fogging issue ?
After watching your Xiaomi 14 first review, I bought it without hesitation 😅
using this phone for a week now. The camera and photos are amazing. The display and speaker are top notch.
There are some cons with the phone. 1. HyperOS is still kinda feels slow compared to OneUI. And needs some patch and additional features like option to change screen from FHD to WQHD. It would be also amazing to add 120hz refresh rate on RUclips when you are using adaptive refresh rate.
Do u also face heating issues?
@@wouter.d.h. not experienced heating issue and fogging lens. BTW i'm from UAE extreme place but so far no issue occurred.
Sorry but Hyper OS cannot compare to Origin OS or Funtouch OS in terms of stability and smoothness. Also the portrait mode in the camera is not consistent and natural as Vivo camera. I highly recommend IQOO 12 or Vivo X100 insteads of Xiaomi 14.
Well,IQOO 12 has green line issues when heavy gaming... So its a good phone I admit that but it's not good for heavy gamers
Vivo has 3 years major update system only...n then its time to drop perfmnce
Xiaomi 14, 14 pro or 14 ultra the main camera isn't the main character. The main character is 3.2x floating telephoto camera 🔥🔥.. supppp-erbb
I have two issues using this phone.
1. The links in apps are not loading. Not clickable. I had to manually copy and paste in browser to open it.
2. There is no shortcut or real quick way to switch between keyboards. Always needs to visit settings to select the keyboard. For me, it important as I have two different keyboards for two languages.
Any suggestion?
CN version ?

Chinese then not global
your using the China version of the phone, which is different to the global model, the hyperOS is completely different
Watching it on my xiaomi 14 ... It really is great 👍👍👍
I'm really concerned about the battery backup.
How's the battery backup as per your usage?
@@angshumansarmah6626 the battery life is ok , on wifi i get a day easily . Using data all day , i run out by 6pm
@@angshumansarmah6626 do you mean the battery life ? Its decent . It lasts a day , it's just not excellent . But the fast charging is great.
Extra dim is there but Xiaomi disabled it don't know why but through
App "Miui hideen settings" from play Store
Can enable it and stay parmanent extra dim shortcut is quick tails even u uninstall app from device
Hello. Has the problem of the rear lenses fogging up with the change of weather been solved? Thank you. 👍🙌
Same question
You need to ask Xiaomi
what camera u using to record this video?
Sony ZV-1!
Hi bro. Do you have any plan reviewing HyperOS 2.0? Might return to Xiaomi if their OS has become stable
Yep! Stay tuned
Any condensation on the lens?
I am disapointed,
I switched from p30 pro and it wasnt the upgrade I ecpected.
Battery last the same
Camera is a bit better but the p30 had better tool and pro settings.
Usage, interface is the same as before.
Many things arent as Smooth as before
You should've went for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
Phones in general have gotten pricier. The Ultra model should be on the same tier as the P30 Pro.
The regular Xiaomi 14 is competing with the iPhone 15 and Galaxy S23.
What is your opinion on camera fog issue during video recording?
What about the camera lens fogging issue?
Never had it with 3 weeks so far and under cold climate with 0 celsius degrees minimums. It's still the biggest complaint I read in most videos about it.
not on my unit, already post a short video to prove it
Any camera lens fogging issues in humid conditions?
How did you get rid of the Google Home widget in your notification shed?
The big smart home widget? Notification and status bar > smart device controls
@@Usersf134ssk awesome, thank you!
Very good review! Can you confirm if the phone you tested has the Indian variant of the Global ROM? If so can you confirm if it has the Xiaomi dialer available along with the google dialer (as was the case with MIUI), or does it have the google dialer only?
Do you have problems with adwares?

Did u buy it? If u did how is the camera on the phone?
@@dayyamm not yet
You'll be fine just buy it
This phone is actually good, only if they release the 14 pro variant
It is released in China
Supermoon mode works good?
It really seems like a great smartphone, but the lens fogging issues is what is keeping me away from it. Maybe Xiaomi 15 will fix that.
Just ordered one today...and finding about that damn issue. I'm disappointed.

Watching with my Xiaomi 14 💪
Could you please recommend on a phone case for it?
When you scroll down it shows only symbols and not what those symbols do. I find that hard to remember which one is for which. Is there a way we can change settings where it shows symbol and the name of it. Hope you understand my question and sorry English is not my first language
And you have not told how many years Android update
The design has aged really well, especially the colour.
💯
Where menu sound and touch in setting? In my xiaomi 14 HyperOs 1.0.5.0 dont get it?
You can activate the extra dim feature through the activity launcher! Didn't know why they hide it that way! It's already built-in but for no reason, we nned to do an extra step just to turn that feature on! 😍
which is a better buy the xiaomi civi or the xiaomi 14?
Xiaomi 14
Hello everyone!
I would like to ask if the " camera fogging" problem is still present with this phone.
Are they going to fix it? or is there any solution like a case or lens protector for this problem?
I would like to get a phone like this because I really like it, but I am worried that this problem will occur. Does anyone have any experience? Thanks in advance.

@@BenjyBoo everything is there in that statement, fogging is harmless and just an inconvenience when you want to use the camera
Is there any solution for the foggy issue?? Main camera lens fog up after 1 min. Its annoying.
Put the phone in a closed box with a lot of silica and remove the sim tray off. Leave there for 24 hours, put the sim tray again and test.
I bought the phone and it's great. but Their no protection for the ear speaker or the speaker on the top of front camera. is it just like that or my model is missing it?
How's the overheating issue? Im considering getting 14 soon, but early reviewers experienced some super heating to maintain the high performance score. (Btw, i use a lot of filming features and my Mix 4 is very buggy for that T.T)
the snapdragon 8 gen 3 (on like all phones with it) has some heat issues, its still smooth though on daily use and wont overheat in normal use either, all phones with it overheated in stress test benchmarks though
I like your reviews!
Do you use a Chinese version of Xiaomi 14 with Chinese ROM?
Do you have any issues using it in Korea?
I also live in Korea and thinking of buying this little camera monster.
Thanks for the videos!
Extremely helpful!
Thank you very much! Yes, this is the Chinese version with China ROM. I've had no issues with it using it on KT other than the China-specific services/apps not working on it.
Hello everyone, I'm really confused between these 2 phones: Xiaomi 14 or Pixel 8. My main priority is the camera and secondary is battery backup. Any suggestions please!
Go away of the pixel 8 just Google pixel 8 Green screen, sadly that's why I'm looking for a new phone
What about ads? Lag? Am considering getting one but reports are not so great. Can someone advise?
No lag and no ads
The screen looks amazing and I haven't had any of the fogging problems I've read about around (mind I have only used the phone for 2 weeks, but in very cold climates with 0 celsius degrees minimums) and I've had no problems so far. Besides I bought the 1TB version, so top storage with a top (or at least competent) camera for a very nice price when compared to other brands available at my country (Samsung and Apple)
The only problem I could note is that the WiFi connectivity is inferior to other phones, so if you are in a very big house, with only one modem/router, you might have trouble connecting to the internet when you are far from the WiFi source.
If your router is dual band 2.4+5GHs make sure they are separate because your phone will try to stay connected to the 5GHs band even if it's a weak signal if it's separate you can manually change between the two
2.4GHz is slower but it's range is better while 5GHz is faster but it's range is worse
Strange, I also never had the fogging issue that's been talked about so much.
@@hoyoungwon Almost all videos will have people mentioning that. In my case I bought a cover instead of using the one that comes in the box, maybe it's that?
@@nkubkbkuj Yeah, they are separated, I'll try making the phone forget the 5Ghz and see if something changes. It's the only phone where I've had this problem, all the others go straight for the 2.4, even when they know they can try the 5.8 one.

All the gangsters in my city use Xiaomi phones and they love it.
Using 14 ultra it's amazing
Yes but the downside is it overheats pretty easily
Watching this using Xaiomi 14 🥰
My friend please can you tell me how is the battery with you? How long does it last and is it good?
@@كلاشركلانس It's good, but battery lasts about the same as you would expect with other compact phones. Same goes with the temps.
On a regular day from 8am to 4pm my phone has about 10% left. Good battery for a small phone, better than my brother's S23 base, but with small phones battery is typically average or not excellent.
Just go with the Xiaomi 14 Pro/15 Pro
Currently using since 4 weeks. Battery life is very short although I appreciate the fast charge. Hand fingers hurts holding this phone. My previous was bigger , I think either 6.2 or 6.5 or 6.7 Inch phone would have been ideal. This 6.36 size hurts to hold for long periods
What do you mean, it has sharp edges?
Maybe he has small hands
Camera lens fog issue
Love the phone so far! Battery life has been great, no heating, i only play pokemon unite on it tho 😅. Cameras are really good! Tho im tempted to grab the upcoming xiaomi 15 pro or 14 ultra when the price drops come december 😂
