The OnePlus 12 and Xiaomi 14, based on specifications, seem to be not missing out any flagship features. But, the OnePlus 12 might appeal to masses because of a bigger, sharper, and stronger display.
Whereas, the Xiaomi 14 might is aimed at those looking for a no-compromise compact flagship smartphone due to which it packs a relatively smaller battery than its competitors. Also, the Xiaomi 14 has a flat edge design which some might find less comfortable compared to the OnePlus 12 and Vivo X100.
The Vivo X100 might have a solid camera performance, thanks to the Zeiss optics, but it does have its shortcomings. The Vivo X100 features a Full HD+ display and does not offer wireless charging. These features are expected from every flagship in 2024 and might be deal breaker for many.
