Xiaomi 14 Real-World Test: Battery & Camera Experience with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3!

I purchased the Xiaomi 14 during my recent trip to Hong Kong and I've used this phone as my daily driver for a little more than a week now. I've been really enjoying the experience, especially the camera performance, so I wanted to a proper real-world test/vlog on a busy Friday day off. Check out the video to see how it performs on a realistic day in the life!

hi, i'm from italy, and i was just jumping around youtube, and i found ur channel, it's the first video of yours that i see, and i liked it a lot!, from the little details like the camera details where you show the photos, or the battery checks ecc ecc. I would love to see more videos/audio test's, i fell in love with this phone from the first second you showed it, and i'm sure i'll explore more of your content, i'm glad i found a good youtuber this randomly. Love from italy

Hello from Korea! Thank you so much for watching and I really appreciate all the kind words. Will do my best to keep up the content :)

@@kimreneouk9678 Why do you think it has to break? I had two oneplus phones and I dropped them on the floor countless times, I have 8T more than 3 years already and it works better than when I got it. If it were to break, I would just go to any gsm repair shop where I live.

[@chriscarms7640]

Hi Ho, how was the haptic feedback, is it better now like on par with other phones you have tested such as pixels and Iphones, thanks!

[@Martina_Elizabeth]

brilliant review, thank you! I'm waiting for this phone to be introduced on pay monthly contracts in the UK, hopefully soon. I'm deciding between Samsung S24+ and Xiaomi 14, which one would you recommend? I'm looking for a great phone camera that produces nice light and not over-saturated photos, with a lovely bokeh. I've got a Samsung s10 and a Huawei p40pro and although the s10 has better camera quality, I tend to edit my photos a lot to remove that annoying yellow tint. Whilst Huawei produces photos with better softer colours.

[@hasansalami6586]

The design of this phone is amazing

[@Meowneowneow]

Great video.

[@dotunmakun]

Great video 👌🏾I'm definitely subscribing to your channel! I want to buy and ship the Xiaomi Mi14 to Nigeria via Aliexpress but I'm concerned if it runs all Google services completely without any compromises. Can you please advice

[@jujharsingh5130]

Absolutele beast of a phone. Hope Xiaomi releases the non-pro variant around the same price of iqoo 12. Eagerly waiting for it's release in India

[@carlosc.m.9735]

Great review! Excellent device

[@hoyoungwon]

Thank you for watching :)

[@emmanuelezeagwula7436]

Damn the xiaomi has been stepping up in the camera department. My only gripe is the software

[@notchipotle]

it's alright, just need to use it a bit longer to get used to it, samsung always release exynos version of their S series here, that's why I prefer xiaomi with "meh" software compared to great UI with shitty chipset

[@mmrt115]

You could always flash a custom ROM like Pixel Experience and problem solved

[@syediftikarshafi]

The photos have a really different vibe which I really like .

[@slvaster8242]

Release date for Portugal? They usually make nice discount when they release new phones in europe

[@prateekpanwar5589]

Hi, did you notice any unusual heating while shooting video or playing games?

[@geoffreylawson18]

Gorgeous video, man..!!😎 Looking forward to more. Through this daily usage, were the Xiaomi screen refresh rate fixed at 120 hz? Kinda curious...

[@hoyoungwon]

Thanks so much for watching! No, the display refresh rate is dynamic and does frequently drop down when needed and in certain apps (KZbin)

Hello! How the battery is good, please give me a detailed review of the battery (at what the battery is off, effiency?,...) plss 🙏

[@tastyoldgravy]

Great test.. How does the matte black glass back feel? See so many reviews complaining about how slippery the glossy glass back is..

[@hoyoungwon]

Thanks for watching! It's definitely not the grippiest but I wouldn't say it's slippery either. The frame shape and material makes the phone easy to grip imo

[@tastyoldgravy]

@@hoyoungwon that makes me fairly certain that the matte has more grip than the glossy back (as everyone with glossy back seems to make a big deal out of how slippery it is).. Just have to make a decision to jump on the X14 or wait to see what Asus does to it's Zenfone lineup this year..

[@Tamayo.Sama2023]

Leica x Xiaomi is really good. Rn im using xiaomi 13T & i realy love the leica authentic mode. All my photos have some vintage aesthetic vibes :)

ive had my xiaomi 14 for about 2 weeks. battery drain is definitely a thing on this phone. it drain about 5-10% overnight on standby. standby isnt exactly the best. wish they fixed it in a future update.

[@ancientslav4863]

And it should not be the cou given 8g3 is supposed to be 3n3rgy efficient. And my 8g2 s23 ultra drains 1% over night. So it's the software.

[@edogawaconan4869]

Turn off notifications and WIFI before you sleep, it drains like only 5% on Mi 9

[@chankongsun]

One can use do not disturb at night and sleep or grey mode. Like samsung. Should work .

Just One question Sir I am student and I have to be outside most of the day , Is Xiaomi 14 good for me as a primary device?

[@hoyoungwon]

Xiaomi 14 definitely is a full day phone for me (especially during work days), but I do carry around a portable charger just in case even though I haven't had to use it yet. But yes, I think the battery life and performance are more than good enough for students!

Okay, the leica filter is good, but I stick with my i15 and s23fe, i've been using xiaomi flagship since mi3 till 13 pro, you know what? the notification bug is sitll there after all this years, even if you lock the app running in the background, turn off the batterry optimization, if you can deal with the ton's of buggy software, go for it, the camera is good for the price.
