The Xiaomi 14 is a compact phone with a very comfortable in-hand feel. Its glossy back panel is a fingerprint magnet, requiring constant cleaning. Despite this, the Xiaomi 14 is really attractive. The rich display quality and the 120Hz refresh rate enhance the viewing experience. The phone is powered by the latest chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The phone is very smooth for everyday use, and the animations are excellent, which is impressive. However, when playing demanding games, the phone starts heating up within 30 minutes, which is not ideal for avid gamers. One of the standout features of this phone is its cameras. It boasts a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. On the front, there's a 32MP selfie camera. The Xiaomi 14 can take incredible pictures in all environments, and the low-light picture quality is also great. The device has a 4610mAh battery, which is not particularly impressive, but it supports a 90W hypercharger, fully charging the phone in 35 minutes, which is quite convenient. Considering all these factors, the Xiaomi 14 is an excellent phone for everyday users, but avid gamers might need to look elsewhere.

The iQOO 13 handles heavy gaming, but we did experience some hiccups. The design leans a bit too much toward the iPhone look, with subtle changes that could have been more refined. The display is excellent, boosted by the 144Hz refresh rate, while the camera is decent, though improvements are needed in telephoto, low-light, and portrait shots. Overall, this phone isn’t a huge leap from the iQOO 12, but software updates could improve things. If you’re after better camera performance and slightly more power, the Realme GT 7 Pro is worth considering.
