Samsung Galaxy S23 vs Xiaomi 13 | Camera Comparison

[@fuloplehel]

I have the xiaomi 13, and the price was almost the same with the samsung. But xiaomi offered 256 Gb storage instead of 128 on the samsung. Camera is good on the xiaomi, maybe if you want to have sharper image the Leica vibrant mode is better than the leica authentic. If you make adjustments right the camera is actually very good. Battery life is good, charging speed is better than on the samsung s23. I think both are very similar, and after the mi 10t pro for me the choice was simple. The size is perfect for me and the software is improved. Miui 14 is not that bad. It's just a matter of preferences, the hardware is very similar in performance.

[@dongshengdi773]

Xiaomi 13 in China USD$600 With 8gb + 256gb

[@TechMishka]

Good summary, Fulop. Thanks

[@mawinmulawin7580]

tried comparing my pixel 7 camera with mi 13 sadly to say the camera of mi 13 is not good compared to my pixel 7

[@fuloplehel]

@@mawinmulawin7580 Ok, I think it is not the camera, but the algorithms are better on the pixel phones. I don't care that much about the cameras anyway. Software experience and camera quality is very subjective. I was watching many reviews on this phones and I only get more confused. So enjoy your pixel if you like it. I am not a fan of the stock android software on the Google phones, I prefer samsung one ui or miui. Miui 14 is improved and is very fluid. Another topic is the software support, how many years, xiaomi offering only three android upgrades. Also don't important for most of the users. For example, I will change my phone after two years so I don't care about that much. Always will be a better device out there.

[@garagaianu]

The trick there is that xiaomi 256gb offers ufs 4.0 memory which is much faster than 128gb samsung 3.1,so i recommend buy s23 256 at least

[@propov8]

I had a s23 and now have a Xiaomi 13. In my eyes 13 is better in camera department. Probably not always the perfect shot like a Samsung but the Xiaomi pics have a more depth and something like... live or feeling in. The dark is dark the smooth is smooth... not like a Sammys everthing flat to perfection. But Sammy stay more flat than perfect. And fast nobody says but Samsung still have the same old yelowishing too. And have a big problem with text picturing. And yes the official prices for 256GB are around 1000 for both. And for both it have enough even better offers.

The xiaomi 13 12+256 starts at 800usd in Malaysia while S23 8+256 now is about 910usd.

Nice video! Although I think in some situations the Mi13 looked better (it is clearly sharper when zooming in, on the first takes of your video). Could you make a comparison between user usability of S23 and Mi13? I mean the overall experience of the android UI and phone. Which one is smoother/faster, works more reliably, etc

[@propov8]

I have experience with both and 13 is smoother and faster. One Ui in S23 is still choppy. Is way way better than last year but it remains a Samsung after all.

Hence you find brand like mi selling phone at best hardware a phone can get at almost half the price of samsung . That's why it's way harder for people to switch from apple or samsung to other devices than vice versa.

[@mini4dailytech982]

You do know the xiaomi has 2 different colour settings one more natural the other with more colourful from lica. It makes a big difference

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, this is indeed very nice

[@Ati0000]

I would choose xiaomi 13 because of better screen quality and screen size, more natural photos, and fast charge. But their updating process is joke, usb 2.0 also joke. But the most annoying is the gorillas glass 5. And with 32 mpx selfi is way worse than s23. Finally the oneui is better option. So i choosed the S23 but Xiaomi looks bettet and better natural pictures.

[@TechMishka]

[@schenatto]

In my humble opinion, Xiaomi did better than Samsung at several points in this comparison. Losing even in front camera and portrait mode at night. Apart from that, my preference is for the xiaomi 13. Unfortunately here in Brazil the Xiaomi 13 is much more expensive .. While the S23 is costing R$ 3,900.00 The Xiaomi 13 is worth R$ 5,100.00 But the advantage here is how xiaomi's top devices end up coming down in price... Nowadays the Xiaomi 12 costs R$ 3,000.00 While the S22 is at the same cost as the S23. Matter of time before the Xiaomi 13 appears cheaper than the S22 However, in the current situation, the best option is to take the S22 Ultra, which costs an average of R$ 4,800.00

[@TechMishka]

Thanks a.lotnfor sharing all about these prices.

[@zugibugimugi]

Chinese is a better battery! after 4 years of use, it holds up as if it were a new phone, while with Samsung it would last a short time, after two years the phone would slow down and the battery would last less, but Samsung as new is better than the Chinese one. but the Chinese does not slow down even after a couple of years. my experience.

[@cw_chandlerwong]

@vladdaniel9278 Sorry, but I think you made a mistake. Referring to the clip attached below, the 1080p of 3.2x zoom is clearly clearer than the 4k. You may wonder why, this is because the telephoto lens doesn't support 4k. And the 4k resolution is just a crop from the main lens, not from the telephoto lens. In pro mode where you can select to only use one lens, you can clearly see that there is no 4k option for the telephoto lens ​ drive.google.com/file/d/1-8RpxjtSVoUAwb_Fm9FqYepnEahPx36L/view

The difference of 1080p and 4k might not be very obvious in the video. However it is noticeable in real life.

[@MixedMorpheus]

The xiaomi 13 should've been the "budget friendly" alternative to the S23 but they messed up with the pricing. The only reason i can think of for them doing this is because they want to establish a high price standard for their premium phones. They could've easily won this year in terms of sales or popularity but in the end as always, greed takes over the wheel🤦‍♂️.

Xiaomi 13 is considerably cheaper than the S23 in most countries...here the 13 with 265GB is 100€ cheaper than s23 128GB.

[@MixedMorpheus]

@@mrmrmrcaf7801 In the Netherlands they are about the same price for the 256gb version. Considering that the xiaomi is about 80% to 85% of the quality of the samsung in terms of camera, software and update policy i would say it should be at least 80% of the price. They are turning their back on what made them popular in the first place by trying to match samsung. But I don't blame them due to inflation. But the more respectable choice would've been to raise the quality of their products before raising the price. I believe that a cheaper price results in more sales and forces samsung to match them instead of the other way around. But the real greed is because apple overprices their products and everybody buys it which makes it okay for other companies to try and maximize on their profits. On a side note i feel like any smartphone above around 500 bucks is just a luxury item and a "rich flex" if you will. So I don't really care anymore. I just wait till a flagship killer pops up and buy that when i need a new phone. Because everything is getting more expensive and companies rely on us to keep their heads above the water. And even though i sympathize with them its a no for me. At the end of the day luxury phones aren't important... at all.
