Tonight, Xiaomi officially released the most powerful digital flagship in history - Xiaomi Mi 14.At the same time, this is also the strongest "small screen" flagship in the industry. Although it is not small in terms of size alone, its one-handed grip is the strongest among current flagships, and it makes up for the regrets of the previous generation.
Let’s look at the appearance first. The basic solution of Xiaomi Mi 13 is still a straight edge + straight screen design, but the details are further optimized, the black borders are also narrower, and the four sides are visually equal in width.
The screen size is 6.36 inches, with an upgraded resolution of 1200*2670.Also commonly known as 1.5K, the PPI reaches 460, which is exactly the same as iPhone15Pro.In addition, the same 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate as the Pro model is added, supporting full DC dimming.
This screen completely makes up for the two major regrets of the previous generation, resolution and LTPO. Although it does not have a 2K resolution, the actual experience in a small body is not inferior to 2K, and it will not hinder battery life.
Thanks to the small screen design, the measurements of Xiaomi Mi 14 are 71.5mm*152.8mm*8.28mm, the glass version weighs 193g, and the snow mountain pink technological nanoskin version only weighs 188g, making it a rare thin and light flagship today.
Although it is very small and light, Xiaomi Mi 14 does not sacrifice performance.Like the Pro version, it comes standard with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 processor, and is equipped with LPDDR5x8533Mbps high-frequency memory and UFS4.0 flash memory. It is the most powerful performance iron triangle in mass production today.
In addition, the ring-shaped cold pump cooling system has been upgraded. This is a self-developed technology installed on Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra. The heat dissipation effect is three times higher than that of traditional VC, ensuring that the third-generation Snapdragon 8 can deliver long-lasting high-performance output. The actual test of "Genshin Impact" was almost full frame in 30 minutes, and the maximum temperature was only 43.2°C.
Another major upgrade of Xiaomi Mi 14 compared to the previous generation is its imaging, which uses a Leica image combination of 50-megapixel main camera + 50-megapixel floating telephoto + 50-megapixel ultra-wide angle.
Among them, the main camera is the first-ever Light Hunter 900 image sensor, which has a super large aperture of f/1.6, and the amount of light entering is 180% of the previous generation.It makes the picture brighter, the shutter speed is faster, and it can also bring about a more natural blur effect.
The telephoto introduces Leica's floating telephoto, which was exclusive to the previous generation Pro. It has long-range telephoto and near-range macro, which complements the full scene shooting capabilities.
In terms of battery life, Xiaomi Mi 14 continues to introduce self-developed chips, equipped with a 4610mAh high-density battery + ThePaper G1 battery management chip. The DOU battery life reaches 1.43 days, which is the strongest battery life in Xiaomi’s history.
In addition, 90W wired second charging and 50W wireless second charging are realized through ThePaper P2 smart fast charging chip.
In other aspects, Xiaomi Mi 14 supports IP68, Wi-Fi7 and USB3.25Gbps. Since then, the digital series has popularized high-speed interfaces for all members, bidding farewell to the slow USB2.0.
Of course, Xiaomi Mi 14 is also the first to be pre-installed with ThePaper OS self-developed operating system, which will usher in the era of self-research + all-device interconnection.
In terms of price, Xiaomi Mi 14 also offers four storage versions to choose from.8+256GB is 3999 yuan, 12+256GB is 4299 yuan, 16+512GB is 4599 yuan, and 16GB+1TB is 4999 yuan. There are four colors to choose from: black, white, rock green, and snow mountain pink.
