Compact powerhouse: Xiaomi 14 reviewed
The Xiaomi 14 is part of Xiaomi's new generation of premium smartphones and, at 6.36 inches, just as compact as its predecessor. The elegant metal and glass casing houses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which provides plenty of speed. The Xiaomi 14 also scores points with its 3000 nits bright AMOLED display...
"Compact powerhouse" caught my attention. Unfortunately, "compact" is a 6.36 inch screen.
You need to talk about the overall phone size, not just the screen size.
In the real world, this phone is barely bigger than a Galaxy S5, yet the screen is a full 1.3 inches larger due to the much much smaller bezels.
In 2024, that's definitely compact. We're not going back to iPhone 3GS dimensions.
That said, I'd still never buy a Xiaomi product, no matter how good the reviews are.
Custom roms for them absolutely slap. Posting this from a still perfectly functional mi9 with Android 14.
Yeah, unfortunately we are way past 6 inches. It's unlikely to make a return.
I think I've heard someone call a 6.7 screen compact. Times are crazy
Thanks for saving me the time. 😔
"Elegant metal and glass"
Who?? Who tf wants Glass on a phone? Plastic is literally the best, as everyone should use a case anyways?
Does it ship with spyware?
And with hyperos it's getting ridiculously hard to root
