The 14th series of Xiaomi flagships has stirred up the market. The Pro version, in particular, stands out with a screen claimed to be the brightest on the market, impressive performance "under the hood," and a camera that surpasses even models with inch-sized sensors.

Design

The new smartphone has changed little compared to the previous model—it remains stylish, well-built, with the same flat aluminum side frames. A version with light titanium frames and a matte back is available, while black, white, and green versions feature a glossy finish. Despite its 223 grams and 8.8 mm thickness, the phone feels perfect in hand—large but not bulky. The surrounding 6.73-inch screen has thin and even bezels, with a width of only 2 mm.

The screen and the back panel are flat, which makes it stand out among flagships. The camera block is square, slightly protruding, but accommodates three cameras and a flash. The display is covered with proprietary Dragon Crystal Glass, which is resistant to scratches and wear. Additionally, the device is protected from water and dust according to the IP68 standard.

Display

The device impresses with its expansive 6.73-inch AMOLED display with a crystal-clear resolution of 3200×1440. This results in an impressive pixel density of 522 ppi, making every frame incredibly detailed. If desired, the resolution can be reduced to Full HD to save battery life.

The modern LTPO technology allows the screen to dynamically change the refresh rate from 10 to 120 Hz, adapting to the content and reducing power consumption. The screen features 12-bit color depth, allowing for the reproduction of up to 68 billion shades. The settings include adaptation of the color gamut to ambient light conditions, as well as features for eye protection.

The screen supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, which significantly enhances image quality when watching videos and playing games. 

Convenient features such as double-tap activation or wake-up when lifting the phone add to the user experience. 

The touch sampling rate is set at 240 Hz, while PWM dimming has been increased to 1920 Hz, which is particularly valuable for people with sensitive eyes, helping to reduce eye strain during prolonged use.

The gadget's display stands out from competitors with its maximum brightness of 3000 nits. This unique achievement allows for easy reading of information on the screen even under direct sunlight.

Technical Specifications

This gadget is a pioneer, featuring the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip from Qualcomm, which significantly improves efficiency. The device is equipped with 12 to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage. Data transfer speeds between memory and other components reach up to 4 GB/s read and 3.3 GB/s write, providing impressive performance.

The device features an improved Mi IceLoop cooling system, which operates more efficiently than previous versions due to the use of liquid cooling with a vapor chamber. Even during intensive gaming, the device will not overheat.

MIUI has been replaced by the new HyperOS on Android 14. It retains the familiar interface but adds new customization features similar to those found in iOS 16. 

The sound in the new model is clear and loud across all frequencies, without distortion even at maximum volume, with Dolby Atmos customization options available. 

The device is equipped with a 4880 mAh battery, which may seem smaller compared to other models on the market. However, the advantage here is the built-in Xiaomi Surge P2 fast-charging chip and Xiaomi Surge G1 sensor, which enhance battery efficiency.

Camera

The main cameras in the new model surpass even the one-inch sensor of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. The 14 Pro significantly enhances photo quality through collaboration with the renowned optical systems manufacturer Leica. On the rear, there are three 50 MP cameras: the main one with optical stabilization for clear shots, an ultra-wide camera with a 115˚ field of view for capturing vast landscapes, and a telephoto lens with 3.2x zoom for detailed close-ups. The 32 MP front camera also impresses.

The main camera has a variable aperture that adjusts the intensity of light hitting the sensor, ensuring great shots in any lighting and providing a soft background blur effect in portrait photography.

The ultra-wide camera impresses with its detail and color accuracy close to the main sensor, with minimal edge distortion and good dynamic range.

The telephoto lens maintains sharpness and color brightness even at maximum zoom, making it one of the leading lenses in the modern smartphone segment. The gadget can record 4K videos at 60 fps with any of the cameras, while the main camera supports 8K recording at 24 fps. The videos are high-quality, and optical stabilization effectively minimizes vibrations.
