iPhone 14 series has just started selling and there were a lot of people from all over the world buying it on the first day, and it looks like this will be a bumper year for Apple , but all of these sales don't necessarily mean that the new iPhone is the best phone in its price range.
Given its compact design and powerful functions, it coincides with the compact appearance of Xiaomi 12, but in comparison, they also have their own advantages.
Next, we will compare iPhone 14 with Xiaomi 12 to see what are the advantages and disadvantages?
1. Appearance design
In terms of design, although there has been almost no change since last year (the main changes are still reserved for the Pro variants of the series), I prefer the iPhone 14. I would choose it not only because of its compact size, but also because of its flat borders and higher build quality.
Although there is still that ugly bang notch above the display, I personally think it is better than the pill-shaped hole design called Lingdong Island, because the pill-shaped hole in the pill-shaped hole in the picture when you are watching movies or playing games, the pill-shaped hole in the pill-shaped hole is too conspicuous, and it seems to remind you all the time not to ignore it.
iPhone 14 consists of a ceramic shield-protected glass back and an aluminum frame. It is waterproof by IP68 certified and can be 6 meters deep underwater and will not be damaged for 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi 12 is not waterproof, but it is still made of high-quality materials, including a glass back panel and an aluminum frame protected by Corning Gorilla Victus glass. In addition, it does not have a notch of bangs, but a small punch hole is placed in the center,
2. Display
If you are looking for the best image quality, then you'd better choose the iPhone 14's display. It is a Super Retina XDR OLED panel with 6.1 inches diagonally, with 2532x1170 pixels, HDR10 certified and Dolby Vision support.
But if you are a gamer, then Xiaomi 12 is probably the better choice for you, thanks to its 120 Hz refresh rate (the iPhone is only 60 Hz).
Using Xiaomi mobile , you will get an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.28 inches, a 1080p resolution, supports HDR10+ display, and is able to display up to 68 billion colors. It relies on an in-display fingerprint reader for authentication, while Apple devices do not have a fingerprint reader.
3. Core performance
Speaking of core performance, the most important thing here is not hardware, but software. Given that the iOS 16 operating system running on the iPhone 14 is better optimized than Android, it can provide higher performance.
Internally, the iPhone 14 uses a 5-core GPU A15 chipset, using a 5nm production process and a hexa-core architecture.
Although the iPhone looks better in terms of performance, the Xiaomi 12 is still one of the most powerful Android phones, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip built with a maximum frequency of 3 GHz and built with a 4 nm process.
4. Camera
Thanks to the optimization of sensors and iOS system software, iPhone 14 can take better photos than Xiaomi 12 in many scenarios. The iPhone 14 comes with a 12 MP main camera with sensor shift OIS, a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle auxiliary camera and a 12 MP selfie camera that supports 4K video recording.
Xiaomi 12 has three cameras on the back, a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, a 13 MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 5 MP macro camera, while in the front it has a 32 MP selfie camera that can record 1080p video at 60 fps.
5. Battery
The battery on Xiaomi 12 is much larger than the battery of iPhone 14. We are talking about the capacity of 4500 mAh, not just 3279 mAh.
Even if iOS has better optimizations, usually Xiaomi 12 should provide longer battery life. It charges even faster thanks to 67W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, but unlike its competitors, it does not support MagSafe technology.
Xiaomi 12 and iPhone 14 main parameters comparison chart:
Through a comprehensive comparison, the advantages of iPhone 14 are IP68 waterproof and dustproof, car accident detection, stronger performance, and great camera. The disadvantage is that it is more expensive.
, Xiaomi 12 has the advantage of being cheaper, a larger 120Hz display, a larger battery, and faster charging. The disadvantage is that the camera is a little worse.
