| Hello~ I am your der (Deer) a house that loves digital, likes to talk about current affairs hot spots, and digs cost-effective things.
It has to be said that in this era of mobile phones pursuing large screens, most flagship mobile phones are equipped with large screens.
It's not that the flagship mobile phone with a large screen is not good, but many small partners feel that the large-screen flagship mobile phone is too heavy, not only tired, but also swaying in the trouser pocket, very nostalgic for the lightness and comfortable grip of the small-screen flagship machine, but also helpless, after all, there are very few small-screen mobile phones that can be bought, or small-screen flagship mobile phones are very few.
In fact, small-screen flagship phones are indeed becoming fewer and fewer, but it does not mean that there are none, so der will talk to you today: small-screen flagship phones worth buying in 2023.
1、iPhone 14
Since Apple's iPhone 13 mini became the last generation of small-screen mini phones, the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 directly became a new small-screen mobile phone.
With a length of 146.7mm, a width of 71.5mm, a thickness of 7.8mm, and a weight of 172g, these measurements are not as small as the mini series, but they are also small and thin models at present.
In terms of screen, the Samsung M11 substrate used in Apple's iPhone 14, plus Apple's own True Color display, must be bright and bright, clear and clear, and have color and color, and the look and feel is still good.
In terms of performance, the full-blood version of the A15 processor, upgraded 6GB of memory, silky smooth and stress-free under the iOS system.
In terms of photography, the iPhone 14 is equipped with a 1200W pixel main camera + 1200W pixel ultra-wide angle dual camera combination, which is indeed worse than the same price Android machine in terms of parameters, but at least Apple's photo imaging is stable, and the recording function is also overwhelming many Android machines, which can only be said to be enough.
In terms of battery life, although the battery of the iPhone 14 is only 3279mAh, it is much worse than many Android machines starting at 4500mAh, but you must know that it is Apple, and the battery life level under God's optimization is completely worth many Android machines, and it is no problem to charge it once a day for moderate use.
In other aspects, the iPhone 14 comes standard with IP68 level of dust and waterproof, don't underestimate this, which is not necessarily available in many flagships.
Of course, some friends feel that the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 is still too big, often can't hold it, easy to fall, then can only take a step back and choose the 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini.
You must know that the iPhone 14 compared to the iPhone 13 mini, the upgrade is actually not big. Although the screen size seems to be not much different, you know that it is very small, and it is just right to hold it in one hand, especially its weight of 140g, which is much thinner and lighter than the iPhone 14.
As for the battery life that everyone is worried about, der feels that the battery life of the iPhone 13 mini has improved a lot, which is one hour less than the iPhone 14, which is already very good for such a small screen phone.
2, Samsung S23
On the Android camp, der thinks that small-screen phones have to look at Samsung.
At present, Samsung's latest small-screen flagship S23, 6.1 inches in size, 146.3mm in length, 70.9mm in width, 7.6mm in thickness, plus 168g in weight, not only lighter and thinner than the iPhone 14 next door, but also gives people a "four sides equal width" look, industrial design as always to achieve a high level.
In terms of screen, the small upgraded M11 substrate used in Samsung S23, the peak brightness of 1750nit, the high brush of 120Hz, the look and feel is clear and transparent... The experience is much better than the iPhone 14 next door, but the color bias of the Samsung screen is saturated, which depends on the personal favor.
In terms of performance, Samsung S23 uses the processor of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, or the overclocked version of 3.36Ghz, and the performance is certainly the first echelon of the Android lineup. But it should be noted that if it is not an old Samsung fan, the learning cost of OneUI will be a bit high.
In terms of photography, Samsung S23 is equipped with its own 5000W pixel main camera + Sony 1200W pixel ultra-wide angle + 1000W pixel telephoto triple camera combination, coupled with Samsung's algorithm tuning, the photo level is the first echelon of the same price. Especially Samsung's Korean selfies, shooting young sisters is very handy.
In terms of battery life, Samsung S23 is equipped with a 3900mAh battery, although this capacity is not big or small, but the battery life is compared to previous generations, finally not so urine collapse, medium and light use can be charged a day, that is, 25W charging speed and Apple "horse racing" together.
In other aspects, the front and rear glass of the Samsung S23 is Corning Victus2 Gorilla Glass, which has a much better texture than an Android machine; There is also its standard ultrasonic screen fingerprint recognition, and the recognition speed is the first echelon at present; Coupled with the IP68 dustproof and waterproof standard on the flagship machine, Samsung S23 can be said to be a small-screen flagship with relatively high comprehensive quality.
3, Xiaomi Mi 13
I didn't want to mention this machine, but under the strong recommendation of many friends, der still talk to everyone.
The reason why der didn't move it up is because the Xiaomi Mi 13 is 6.36 inches in size, 152.83mm in length, 71.53mm in width, 8.37mm in thickness, plus the weight of 189g, and iPhone 14, Samsung S23 is not small and thin, but it is "small and thin" in the domestic large-screen flagship machine.
In terms of screen, Xiaomi 13 uses Samsung's latest E6 substrate, although it is a little worse than Samsung Apple's M series, but it has a good look and feel in terms of high dynamic range standards and full-brightness DC dimming. In particular, its "four sides are equally wide" design, which is very in line with everyone's perception.
In terms of performance, the Xiaomi 13 also uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and there is not much to say here der. But in terms of MIUI, the experience can be said to be "time god and ghost", which needs to be improved.
In terms of photography, Xiaomi Mi 13 daily stacking, equipped with a 3-camera combination of 5000W pixel main camera + 1200W pixel ultra-wide angle + 1000W pixel telephoto lens, as well as Leica certification, the surface of the photo imaging is not worth Apple Samsung, but perhaps the reason for the lack of running-in, the actual imaging needs to be optimized.
In terms of battery life, Xiaomi 13 stuffs a 4500mAh battery, which is also the reason for its increased weight and thickness, but with the blessing of large capacity, the battery life will inevitably be a little better than Apple's Samsung. Especially the Xiaomi Mi 13 is equipped with a fast charge of 67W, Samsung Apple really has to reflect on it.
There is nothing else to say, Xiaomi 13 is a "bucket machine" full of materials, but it has also made concessions in terms of thinness and lightness, which can be regarded as a trade-off embodiment of Xiaomi's "small-screen flagship phone".
As for whether it is worth buying, der feels that its price is not much different from the Samsung S23 after diving, and there is still room for price reduction, but if it is a small partner with a Xiaomi family barrel at home, it is worth it.
Finally, what do you think of the above three small-screen flagship phones?
