Samsung S24 has attracted much attention since its release. However, many netizens expressed their disappointment with it, believing that Samsung was overconfident in its pricing this time, which no longer has a presence in the Chinese market. In contrast, the Xiaomi 14 is considered a more cost-effective option. So, what are the differences between the Xiaomi 14 and Samsung S23? Will the Xiaomi Mi 14 really be able to surpass the Samsung S24? Next, we'll look at the main differences between the two.
In terms of performance, both are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen3 processor platform. However, the Samsung S24 uses a special version of the processor, which has a slightly higher frequency than the regular version of the Xiaomi 14. While this difference may be evident in benchmark tests, it is barely noticeable in practice. In addition, in terms of memory capacity, the Samsung S24 can reach up to 12GB, while the Xiaomi 14 can reach 16GB. The impact of this difference on the performance experience cannot be ignored.
Regarding the screen, the Samsung S24 adopts 62-inch straight screen, 1080p resolution and 120hz refresh rate. And the Xiaomi 14 is equipped with 636-inch straight screen, 15K resolution and the same 120Hz refresh rate, and it supports full-brightness DC dimming. In terms of display, both perform well, but the Xiaomi Mi 14's higher resolution results in better detail, and it also has a clear advantage in terms of eye protection.
In terms of imaging, the Samsung S24 gets a 12MP camera on the front and a 50MP main camera on the rear (Samsung GN5 with OIS stabilization, MP ultra-wide angle (Sony IMX564), and a 10MP telephoto camera (Samsung S5K3K1, 3x optical zoom with OIS stabilization). The Xiaomi Mi 14, on the other hand, comes with a 32MP camera on the front and a 50MP main camera on the rear (Light Hunter 900 with OIS stabilization, MP ultra-wide camera (Samsung JN1), and a 10MP telephoto camera (Samsung JN1, 3.).2x optical zoom with OIS stabilization and telephoto macro). In terms of hardware parameters, the Xiaomi Mi 14 is better in terms of imaging capabilities, with the main and telephoto cameras having a higher amount of light intake for better low-light performance and image quality, and also adding a practical telephoto macro function with Leica Shadow Tone.
In terms of battery life, the Samsung S24 is equipped with a 4000mAh battery that supports 25W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. The Xiaomi Mi 14 is equipped with a 4610mAh battery that supports 90W wired charging and 55W wireless charging. Whether it is the battery capacity or the charging speed, the Xiaomi 14 has obvious advantages, which can bring better battery life and fast charging experience.
In terms of peripheral features, both support NFC, dual speakers, X-axis linear motors, IP68-rated dust and water resistance, and USB32gen1 and other features. However, it is worth mentioning that the Samsung S24 uses ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology, which has a better experience compared to the optical fingerprint recognition of the Xiaomi 14. Of course, the Xiaomi Mi 14's IR remote control function is also very useful.
In terms of design, both are ultra-narrow bezel straight screens on the front, and the middle frame is designed with a metal right-angle middle frame. The only noticeable difference is in the back design, with the Samsung S24 featuring a DECO-free design. As for which design looks better, it's a matter of opinion. In terms of body size, the Samsung S24 has a thickness of 76mm and a weight of 167g, while the Xiaomi 14 has a thickness of 82mm/8.28mm and a weight of 193g and 188g respectively. It can be seen that the Samsung S24 is thinner and lighter in terms of body size.
Through the above simple comparison, we can find that the main advantages of the Samsung S24 are the ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology and the smaller screen size, and the thickness and weight of the body are also better controlled. In particular, it is worth mentioning the weight of 167g, which is quite rare in today's mobile phone market, if you pursue a more extreme small screen feel, then Samsung S24 is indeed a better choice. However, it is precisely because of its pursuit of extreme weight that Samsung has to make a trade-off in battery capacity, how can a 4000mAh battery capacity make people feel at ease about its battery life? In addition, the implementation of AI functions and user experience of Samsung S24 in the Chinese market is also unpredictable. Coupled with the high **, the Xiaomi 14 is still a more practical option for most users in China.
To sum up, while the Samsung S24 has advantages in some aspects, the Xiaomi Mi 14 performs better in terms of price/performance, imaging capabilities, battery life, and charging speed. As a result, the Xiaomi 14 is still a much more desirable option for most Chinese users. In today's rapid development of science and technology, users often pay more attention to cost-effectiveness and practicality, rather than just pursuing brands. In the future, the competition in the mobile phone market will be more intense, and we look forward to seeing more excellent products come out.
