The Xiaomi 14 joins our comparison of the best compact smartphones!

It has the size of a David, but the power of a Goliath: the Xiaomi 14 fits into our ranking of the best compact smartphones. Here it is in detail!

A compact smartphone with a beautiful screen

The Xiaomi 14 measures just 152.8mm x 71.5mm, its small size makes it easy to use with one hand and carry in a pocket or purse. This is a first reason to justify its entry into our comparison of the best compact smartphones.

This compact format does not mean compromise. The Xiaomi 14 offers optimal user comfort and a pleasant grip, even for people with small hands. Far from being a bulky gadget, it blends easily into your daily life and accompanies you in all your activities.

The screen of this Xiaomi smartphone is another nice feature. It has a 6.36-inch AMOLED panel which offers Full HD+ definition (1200 x 2670 pixels) and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

This combination ensures a smooth and immersive viewing experience, whether you’re watching videos, playing games, or simply browsing the internet. The high brightness of 3000 nits ensures excellent readability, even in direct sunlight, while HDR10+ technology delivers rich, contrasting colors.

What is the Xiaomi 14 worth compared to the competition of the same price?

There are two models in the price range of the Xiaomi 14 to which we can compare it: the iPhone 15 and the Fairphone 5.

Let’s start with Apple’s device. It is a serious competitor: its design is impeccable and as aesthetic as ever, faithful to the spirit of the Apple brand. However, the two smartphones remain neck and neck in terms of screen quality and high performance, whether for navigation or more demanding uses, such as video games. The Xiaomi 14 marks time in terms of autonomy, with more hours on the clock. Still, the iPhone 15 is a little better in photos.

Compared to the Fairphone 5, the Xiaomi 14 remains ahead; Note that it is still around 200 euros more expensive. The performance is more impressive (and, above all, does not experience any slowdowns unlike the Fairphone 5), the autonomy is better and, above all, the photo / video aspect is much more successful. The distinctive advantage of the Fairphone: it wants to be eco-responsible.

Xiaomi and smartphones are one and the same

Today, who doesn’t know Xiaomi smartphones? The Chinese manufacturer first focused on affordable prices to grab market share from Apple and Samsung. More than just grabbing, even, since Xiaomi is currently one of the flagship brands when it comes to smartphones.

This is due to its good experience in this area, including when Xiaomi was only accessible on the Chinese market.

The 2010s were a real confirmation for the brand in terms of success, leading it to evolve on international markets.

Xiaomi is today renowned worldwide as a reliable manufacturer of smartphones, at all levels.
