Which phone do you think is the better buy? 🤔

[@satishranamagar249]

Xaiomi 14

[@saShaheer]

If Xiaomi had dropped prices just a little it would have done a lot of damage to Samsung. Other than that I really hope Xiaomi starts working on software more aggressively, I expect so much more from them, they can out perform Samsung pretty easily.

[@ashleymadness15]

Xiaomi 14 is half the price of S24 here in my country.. and I'm loving it.. its a better buy!!

[@meviusable]

Of course s24

[@okeyezeilo6187]

The S24+ is clearly better...

[@psyclops973]

I bought a Xiaomi 14. I have to say that taking photos with it is an incredible experience. Every single shot looks absolutely gorgeous, especially if you turn on Leica's Vivid Mode. For regular people who just need a compact phone that takes fantastic pics the Xiaomi 14 is certainly one of the best options on the market right now.

[@_Funonwheels]

Hi, how is the phone performing in longterm?

[@psyclops973]

@@_Funonwheels So far so good. My main complaints are that the phone tends to get a bit hot under heavy usage and that it could have a slightly bigger battery. But anyway, if you activate optimized quick charge, it goes from 0 to 100% in half an hour, so that's not that big of an issue.

[@_Funonwheels]

@@psyclops973 Thanks for responding!! Helps alot. I am really confused between s24 & Xiaomi 14 with little lean towards Xiaomi because of all the practical reasons including battery and charging speed. Photography is important especially at low-light, from what I have heard & seen, Xiaomi does well in low light as well. So thinking of getting one.

The point you said that Oppo is offering a better camera than Samsung. I don't agree at all. I was a Oppo user for 5 yrs. I was using a F9 until I switched to Reno 8T 5G in 2023. During my years with the F9, I wasn't impressed with the features it offers. The F9 lack features, lacks accesories as which is getting on my nerves. The secondary market do offer cases for the f9 but the cases are nothing special because they aren't well made. The F9 camera was never the best. So most of the came that I took with the phone never show an aesthetic result. After switching to the Reno 8T 5G due to the advertisement of 108mp plus the cheap price. At first it was okay. But after a month use, I noticed a lot of misses on the Reno 8T 5G. The main camera was 100 mp but it didn't give any clarity at all. No matter the weather or lighting. I still have to lightroom to beautify all my photos. The zoom was max out to only 10. I try switched to pro and extra hd mode. Problem still remains. The photo was blurry and contrast is way off. In terms of video, the reno 8T supports 1080p and 720p but the clarity isnt enough. The Steady mode that was offers didn't seem to help while I was videoing. So in 2024, I decided to sell it away after using for a year. Oppo don't offer great cameras and features at all compare to it's competitors. I saw your comparison video of the S24 with iPhone and Xiaomi. It seems like you have grudge on Samsung. On the in iPhone comparison video, you said, the iPhone was way better than s24 plus. Now, the Xiaomi comparison, you also provide the same impression, Xiaomi is better than Samsung.
