Day in the life with Xiaomi 14 and s24 - best small phone?

[@donfanto1]

Crazy to see that normal sized phones are considered small.

[@notjamesb]

That’s 2024 for ya lol

[@phoneshive]

This guy is my favourite tech KZbinr rn, love the videos man

[@mattmiller3714]

Your videos are on total another level, man! Having your family featuring it each of them make them more natural at the same time 😊 Keep in, Sam!

[@onizuka101]

And let's not forget the video editing-it's on another level. The amount of effort he puts into making each video is absolutely awesome.

[@yagoceron]

Another brilliant video. Thanks for continuing testing Android phones!!

[@thesamuelnam]

Bro. Nothing to talk about iPhones lol. They got good specs for filming films.. which not many are doing. I’ve got many many more coming for android.

[@ConceptCentral]

Hate to break it to you but that new vivo mini phone looks pretty sick, guess you'll have to throw that one in the next video too

[@ChisomNicolette]

Please release more videos, it has been a while❤❤

[@sajjadbekal]

Unfortunately they are not available in most areas

[@factionalhitman]

What is the new Vivo mini phone? Would like more details about this, thanks.

[@PewMeowPaw]

yee vivo 200 pro mini

[@iamgsvpj]

The content was so entertaining waiting for next 🙌

[@iliavoronov206]

Samuel, praying for you and your family that your mission will be fruitful!

[@dongriggs6343]

I LOVE YOUR CONTENT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Mehhahah]

Nice work Samuel, you really brought fun and life into the tech reviews. The fact about making phone dim enough when bringing kids to sleep is so relatable. It makes me want to switch from iPhone 15 pro to 16 pro now that they are able to dim the display to 1 nit. Please test this when you review the phone if you ever did

[@saiefjoy2906]

You can easily do this using the "Reduce white point" feature on the 15 pro in accessibility settings. Setting "Reduce white point" to 100% will be about the same as the 16 pro's 1 nit.

[@micleeso]

@@saiefjoy2906 Same thought, there's even a control center shortcut to make it simple.

[@who_bur7k]

Xiaomi Have that Feature since 2019 what you gonna do is open play stre and type hidden setting for miui or activity launcher and they give hidden settings of your phone beucause xiaomi uses different OS in some countries if you buy from china you will get CN OS if you get from Europe You have 2 options device is normally came with Global (MI) OS and you can install EU OS this will open up all feautres of phone and removes all blootware and ads. you can close the ads but it is hard to find. Thanks For Reading This Comment

[@herald1953]

bro this is hilarious, keep making them

[@salvadoreloy3955]

bro this is the most entertaining phone comparison I have watched in a while, lol!

[@thedigitallens]

As a heavy user of features, Samsung's UI still pulls me towards it. Xiaomi is great but if they can match or do better in this department, I may go for it.

[@Monjhovan3121]

Watching on my Xiaomi 14 ❤️

[@amerjason3717]

new subscriber here! love the humour and the editing! good review b.t.w

[@Furti111]

vivo x200 pro mini will probably be the best small phone

[@SKTWoodDesign]

I agree

[@diff1980]

So bad vivo label it as Pro mini but it gets only type C 2.0 port ☹️

[@JCP1992]

please review the Vivo X200 pro mini

[@jojorxy3977]

bro define his own dictionary in which small means big. 😂 nowadays people literally give a speech that is conspicuously false claim.

[@AhmedSh-nc6lj]

U mean the Xiaomi 15

[@sirwlat]

What a cliffhanger... Also we should wait for Vivo x200 pro mini, those specs seem unreal.

[@bulolo_wilber]

1:50 YT should 100x your ad revenue 🤣

[@Greyhound32]

😂😂😂

[@theunusual8]

I searched on Hyper OS and yes, it has Extra Dim. It also has a menu if you press the Extra dim button and you can customize it the way that you want. I mean how Extra dim you want. Greetings from Mexico City Mexico 🇲🇽

[@pengingamer4510]

where did you find it? cannot find it.

[@chieflingco]

I wish xiaomi and huawei was available in the usa. I would love to own one. Currently have a oneplus 11 and its still going strong.

[@thesamuelnam]

Huawei would've destroyed everyone. Was a political move.

[@zeed5764]

Entertaining video! Samsung user here. It's the software features and clever software keeping me with Samsung. I know the other phones have better cameras and value for sure. I'm just waiting for them to catch up with the software. So frustrating, at one time, Samsung was the leader in everything, now it really isn't.

[@franciscod.s7799]

Yes there's a way to dim the screen, I have a quick tile on my Redmi note 10 pro. I believe I got it from an app called "Activity launcher" that basically lets you get access to settings buried that otherwise you couldn't, then all you have to do is set a quick tile and yeah it dims everything once toggled on. So yeah, the extra dim function is native, but buried and not accessible through the normal settings (if that makes sense). The adds in the spotlight I believe can be turned off, since I got no adds whatsoever, none. Full disclosure, I'm on MIUI 14 (Android 13), I don't know how it's like on HyperOS, never got to use it. And yeah, the Android widgets su**, vintage and not in the good way hahaha! I've been a Xiaomi (Redmi) user for the past 3 & 1/2 years but planning to get a top tier Samsung in the future, especially because of AI, since I believe Samsung and Apple are probably in the front of the race regarding AI.

Xiaomi phones "technically'" do actually have the Extra Dim feature, only it isn't baked into MIUI/HyperOS. Needs to be accessed via hidden menus, as it is a native Android feature as of late.

[@Redwane_hafiz]

Finally i was waiting for this

[@abrahamkasibante2079]

i just love this guys reviews

[@obsessionami]

Mate, i want say thanks) I bought Nuphy AIR60 V2 and Logitech G502X. This is best setup for Macbook) Thank you so much for your content) You are awesome

[@maximorumba]

Bro, I LOVED that ending so much. I got so excited at the creativity. So funny! Glad you're back and posting regularly again! Also, not to make your life harder but you should check out the Sony Xperia 5 V (or maybe VI if it ever comes out). :)

[@bojack3827]

Nothing wrong with Xiaomi phones in principle but having owned 3 of them previously, the forced advertising/silly apps in embedded in the MIUI (HyperOS) software really irritate me and puts me off from buying another one.

[@Uzi26]

Great video! Love from the UK. Subscribed :)

[@sharfina.neyugn]

Your videos are so joyful to watch and I love your and your wife's honest reviews. They are helpful. Thank you!

[@JohnJohnson-jm8ku]

I still have Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G Ne as backup. It was easy to handle with my tiny hands, despite the screen size, because it was superthin. Battery life for such a thin device was incredible in my regular use. I'm a heavy user, but not a gamer. I however ended up switching to Samsung, because I have the Galaxy Watch, Galaxy tags etc. and they don't work as well (or at all) with other phones.

[@ankitDchauhan]

i use to own s22 and had a really bad experince with charging speed heating issue and battery drain but i loved how one ui is . i recently bought xiaomi 14 loved the charging speed battery backup and camera and almost no heating issue but man does the hyper os suck with bloats and ads when the phone is almost 1000 dollars .. they need to polish the software and remove those shoty apps and ads .

[@pennyinheaven]

I have s24 sd ver right now, for a week now. And not sure if batt life would get better. I get to charge once a day. It does get warm but not hot, not yet. And I find that the charge drains pretty fast even if I'm lasting the whole day with a single charge. But the UI. It's just great. Chinese brands, they are all the same. The ads, recommended apps, and auto download, are annoying. I manage my mom's oppo.

[@vietoquoc6124]

Xiaomi does have extra dim, I use it quite casually

[@gkholmes]

Xiaomi all the way. Love how you are just being yourself with a bit of fun. Have you checked out the no phone would love to see a review of it.

[@thesamuelnam]

If they ever make a regular size of nothing. I’ll pick it up immediately.

[@Lightning---K.]

Hahhaha, you are soo entertaining man !! I love your videos ! I wish you and your family the best ! Greetings from Germany 👋

[@DiogoDC123]

thoe whole video i was screaming its the new pixel 9 pro standard size and the curveball at the end just made this video so well put together

[@MrBluees1]

Screen dimm is hidden in accessibility settings in xiaomi . Eu rom. Activate with accessibility gesture of dual finger (both thumbs) on the bottom navigation pill (for full screen gestures). I'll check my wifes phone since she uses the regular global rom if she has it under accessibility. Thank you for your look at the Xiaomi 14. Wanted to get but will wait atleast a year because the price is almost half then. My wife has the Xiaomi 13 and her pictures have been so much nicer already than from my mi 10 pro. And the 14 has an even better camera. And yea the system ads, I use eu rom from the Xiaomi . Eu forum which removes those. Cheers

[@abdul_ug]

12:51 why the heck dd that happen

[@Stygain]

i remember when this guy had 10k subs and i just looked at a mighty 100k!

[@Miennu]

definitely looking up for your pixel 9 review !

[@osemenitua7538]

He should do thissssss

[@WilsonKwong83]

Review came a little too late. Mi 15 and Mi 15 Pro are out. But interesting take, though. I've just subscribed to your channel.

[@thesamuelnam]

Nooooooo

[@pengingamer4510]

still good for thos ewho want a cheaper small phone . Xiaomi 15 and pro will be much more expensive if u not import or you dont want to wait.

[@AshyBoii]

There is a way to turn off as, but it's pretty complicated. Normally adds are for the cheaper phones due to Xiaomi not making though revenue. Although hyper os is redirected to improve when 2.0 comes out, nice video bro

[@DenizBender]

Great video. As always. Greetings from Germany!

[@DenizBender]

@@CatherineAYackob No, Samsung (37%) is the no. 1 in Germany, very close to Apple (34%) at no 2. No. 3 is Xiaomi with 10%. In reality almost everyone under 30 uses an iPhone. You are the cringe guy if you don't use an iPhone. I Know girls who would never date an android guy.

[@bored78612]

Ads on the phone is a deal breaker for me. Especially at flagship prices

[@VihangaIndusara]

You can get rid of them tho

[@sinzz26o7]

The point is why have it at the first place. I understand 100-300 USD phones with bloatwares and ads but on a 500+ USD phone it is just criminal.

[@NickTsantilas-yo3qf]

Xiaomi phones don't come with ads in their flagship series

[@RuwaisMd]

What kind of ads you are seeing on Flagship phones on mi,,im using mi 14 for last 8 months I uninstalled all the bloatware apps within 5 mins after I got my mobile on my hand.you just blindly hating mi 😅

[@lgabss187]

The end of a video often feels like the conclusion of an episode in a series. You instinctively want to click on 'next episode,' only to realize it isn't available yet. But when it finally drops, you rush to watch, and the cycle starts all over again.

[@neallong2480]

I can’t even get a Xiaomi where I live but still I wasn’t going to miss a video from this channel.

[@venomfury12]

00:05 Xiaomi 14 offers impressive camera features 02:12 Xiaomi 14 has better battery life and feels more substantial in hand compared to s24 03:53 Xiaomi 14 excels in low light photography and battery life 05:32 Xiaomi 14 excels in build quality and camera performance 07:07 Xiaomi 14 features fast boost charging 08:44 Xiaomi 14 became go-to camera, S24 lacks extra dim feature 10:06 Xiaomi 14 has limitations with widgets and app deletion. 11:25 Comparison of unlocking methods and phone preferences

[@Shuba96]

so cute

[@parthjoshi2942]

love your content bro

[@marcodragneel8035]

For me, if you want a practical wise phone: long battery, fast charge, great camera photos; I'd pick the xiaomi, a good bang for your buck. But if you're a tad bit picky about the user experience and overall operations of the phone, I'd pick samsung, better ui simpler to use and follow, has longer software support, not as beefy in the hardware but still pretty above average its a nice pick. Personally I have a samsung, but I frequently borrow my mum's redmi cuz its bigger screen is nice for watching episodes and movies on plus doesnt drain as much. But man navigating through that phone was just so convoluted and filled with bloatware and ads that it felt like the cheaper price for the china phones are compensated with bloated software programs

[@schip.fil.03]

please note that you can disable the search function when pulling down on the home, to make it like the one ui

[@nevascx]

Hey, It’s me again. Don’t know if you remember me but I was one of the people who recommended you the Xiaomi 14. Yes the iPhones will always be kings of video but when it comes to compact camera phones the current best would be the Xiaomi 14 and Pixel 9 Pro (recently released). When comparing it to bigger beasts I’d say the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has a bigger kick to it.

[@paulhorn24]

Samuel, you are crazy! Crazy creative! Crazy productive! Crazy funny! 👍👍👍

[@CaepioUlpiculum]

This definitely now can be prolonged with the Vivo X200 pro mini..... phone of maximum interest!!!!!!

[@rano12321]

Wait till you try other android phones like vivo, oppo, and also the sony phones, all of them have exceptional cameras as well.

[@jrgamotin]

keep it up man!! 😊

[@juliangutierrez8446]

I had now the 15 Pro, after using an S24 I like what Samsung is doing with the software, is smooth and has good functions, I only sell it because seeing how Pixel had 12/16GB Ram. I thought the S24 will not be so smooth on 2 years, with that limitation. I have HyperOS on a cheap tablet that I used only for video consumption, but I don't like it at all. And the Pixel has a week processor will probably result on the same problem as the S24, the low performance on the future. The problems for me, the S24 the Ram capacity, the Xiaomi 14 hate HyperOS or MIUI and the Pixel 9 weak processor. I think the next smarthphone will have an interface that I like, a good processor and a good amount of Ram will be the S25.

[@matejs8010]

You should consider reviewing the Xiaomi Pad 6 along with all its accessories. It is a strong competitor to the iPad, offering nearly all the essential features at about a third of the price.

[@ryn1192]

I don’t understand why some of your videos get like 500k+ views while some get like 20k. Watched this video, and really liked it! Please keep it up! ❤

[@Spiritualdope1]

Everyother creator get same way, only if the content plug in subscribe idea into our brain for very starting. So mostly get view as unique viewers so they don't or may watch n like the video. It all depends upon what n to whom algorithm is searching for. Mostly everything depends upon us both creator n subscribers

[@BrenoBP]

Creative ending, I like it

[@Elementrius]

I guess you should maybe consider that the Pixel 9 Pro is the same size as the Pixel 9 and by extension is the definitive small phone from Google as well. So anything that the 9 Pro XL does nicely is what the 9 Pro would do as well

[@valentineezegwu9668]

It would be interesting to see you review the Huawei matepad pro 12.2 papermatte edition.

[@deRykcihC]

Extra Dim is actually part of the Android AOSP feature, and for no reason Xiaomi likes to hide those features, I'm not sure if the Extra Dim can be turn on in Xiaomi via activity launcher or not. Plus one of the reason I sold my xiaomi is they hid the microphone and camera access feature, which is part of Android 12, again for no reason.

[@pengingamer4510]

which camera access feature u mean ? for me its not hidden ? What you mean?

didnt this guy have like 50k subs, damn thats some fast growth.

[@onkelphil7419]

Really wanted to have the normal S24 in beginning of the year... Of cause samsung also decided to put in Exynos in europe as well and that's why I decided to go with the S24+ because of the battery-.-... To be honest: I never had a issue in performance and the + has a really good screen on time. But yeah still could be better with a Snapdragon. Also then I would have picked the smaller S24... I really hope that samsung improves the Exynos so it can be as good or better in efficiency. But I guess the only reason right now is to reduce the manufacturing prices. =( I hope I'm wrong and it really can challenging IPhones and Snapdragons in future or it get dropped in the bin...

They may have the best specs but nothing beats OneUI compared to other android phones. That's the only reason I can't give up on Samsung. They don't put ads like others do to their "flagship" phones.

Even if you get HyperOS, you'll not get all the good stuff Mid-ranges & Flagships have.
