Today we compare the Xiaomi 13 with the iPhone 14. That’s why we’re also comparing the two biggest phone brands: Xiaomi and Apple. Which is better is a very controversial question. These flagship devices released by Apple and Xiaomi in late 2022. Both devices occupy a leading position due to their high-quality characteristics. The rivalry between Xiaomi and Apple, which has been going on for years, will continue with these two devices.

Design and dimensions

The first thing we pay attention to when comparing these devices is, of course, the design and dimensions of the device.

Xiaomi 13 looks very stylish. The device, which has a case size of 152.8×71.5×8.0 mm and a weight of 189 g, encounters two options as leather and ceramic cover in design. With a 6.36-inch screen, the device has a nice design and is quite stylish for today’s flagships.

The iPhone 14 measures 146.7×71.5×7.8 mm and weighs 172 grams. The design of the device, which has a 6.1″ screen diagonal, looks very high quality with all glass and steel frames. This device has an excellent design and weight.

In other words, we can see that both devices are quite stylish in terms of design, but the iPhone 14 device is one step ahead in terms of usability. And the Xiaomi 13 is a bit heavy and outperforms.

productivity

The next part of the comparison is performance, this part where the processors will compete is very important.

The Xiaomi 13 is pretty ambitious when it comes to performance as it includes Qualcomm’s most powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (4nm) chipset. This chipset includes 1×3.2 GHz Cortex-X3, 2×2.8 GHz Cortex-A715, 2×2.8 GHz Cortex-A710 and 3×2.0 GHz Cortex-A510. It performs great with 8GB/12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB/256GB/512GB UFS 4.0 storage. AnTuTu – Geekbench scores for this device: 1.320.000 and 1504 – 5342 (single/multi-core).

And since the iPhone 14 is one generation behind the processor, it lags behind in terms of performance. The device, which comes with Apple’s own A15 Bionic (4nm) chipset, is quite stable. This chipset has 2×3.23GHz Avalanche and 4×1.82GHz Blizzard cores/clocks. iPhone 14 offers users 6 GB of RAM and 128/256/512 GB of NVMe storage. AnTuTu – Geekbench scores for this device are 850,000 and 1,745 – 4,877 (single/multi-core) respectively.

Xiaomi 13 is also one step ahead in terms of performance. But both devices will not disappoint in terms of performance, as they are quite powerful. Also, these benchmarks don’t really matter, as there won’t be much difference in day-to-day use.

view

The part where users connect directly to the phone is, of course, the screen of the device. In this section, we will compare the screens of both devices.

The Xiaomi 13 features a 6.36-inch FHD+ (1080×2400) Samsung E6 LTPO OLED 120Hz (1900 nits) display. Thanks to the FHD+ resolution, you can shoot in high detail and the OLED screen offers much brighter colors. Thanks to the 1900 nits screen brightness, you can see the screen very comfortably even on sunny days. Get smoother images with a 120Hz screen refresh rate and enjoy true HDR quality with HDR+ and Dolby Vision support. So, Xiaomi 13 has an excellent display.

And the iPhone 14 has a 6.1-inch FHD+ (1170×2532) Super Retina XDR OLED 60Hz (1200 nits) display. Screen quality is very good, but you can’t experience Apple’s new Dynamic Island on this device. Because in this iPhone series, this device prefers a normal notch instead of the perforated notch used in other devices. Since the above factors are also valid in this section, the iPhone 14 device is also an ambitious device in terms of screen.

The Xiaomi 13 device is ahead by a large margin. There is a pretty big difference between 60Hz and 120Hz. In addition, the Xiaomi 13 is more stylish in terms of notch, because the huge notch on the iPhone 14 can annoy users.

Cell

The camera part is the part where companies compete the most today. Both devices are great for photography.

Xiaomi 13 exceeds expectations for the camera. 50MP, f/1.8, 23mm optical image stabilization (PDAF), main camera 10MP, f/2.0, 75mm OIS (3.2x optical zoom) (PDAF), telephoto, 12MP, f /2.2, 15mm (120) ˚ (AF) ultra-wide and 32MP selfie camera. The main camera is a Sony Exmor IMX800 sensor that works great in collaboration with Leica. Day shots are extremely detailed, and night shots are very successful.

And iPhone 14 has a 12 MP, f/1.5, 26mm primary camera with sensor-shift OIS (Dual Pixel PDAF) and a 12 MP, f/2.4, 13mm, (120˚) (AF) ultra-wide camera. Day and night shooting is excellent, video stabilization is also very good.

Xiaomi 13 is way ahead of the camera. It has more cameras and also has better quality camera sensors.

Battery

Xiaomi 13 has a 4820 mAh battery. It is equipped with 120W Xiaomi Hypercharge (PD3.0) and supports 50W wireless charging. Thanks to the 120 W Xiaomi Hypercharge, the device is fully charged in 19 minutes, which is an incredible speed. With 50W wireless charging, it can be fully charged in 36 minutes. Xiaomi 13, which has a battery capacity that can work until the evening on a single charge, can be fully charged in minutes.

And the iPhone 14 has a 3279 mAh battery. With 20W wired charging (PD2.0), it can reach 50% in 30 minutes. 15W MagSafe wireless charging and 7.5W Qi wireless charging support are also available.
