The iPhone 15 series is undoubtedly a bit disappointing, the A17 Pro that was placed on high hopes actually overturned, especially the GPU part not only the performance still does not exceed the Snapdragon 8 Gen2, the energy efficiency performance is obviously not as good as the Snapdragon 8 Gen2, the performance of the CPU part is not optimistic, the peak energy consumption exceeds 14W, on this energy efficiency performance, heating and battery life do not rise but fall is normal.
The overturn of A17 Pro, for the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 is undoubtedly good news, according to the current situation, the GPU performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 exceeds the A17 Pro is a certainty, energy efficiency should continue to maintain the advantage, but the CPU running score of the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 is still not as good as the A17 Pro, but the gap will narrow.
And the chip performance wants to be fully exerted, the heat dissipation of the mobile phone must also keep up, and the heat dissipation pile of Android mobile phones is now much stronger than the iPhone, so when the actual performance experience of the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 mobile phone exceeds the iPhone 15 Pro series should not have much pressure, the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 model is more worth the wait.
In these Snapdragon 8 Gen3 mobile phones, Xiaomi 14 is undoubtedly the most requested product, because Xiaomi 14 will continue the design style of Xiaomi 13, the front is still a straight screen design with a single hole in the center, the middle frame is the design of the right angle middle frame, and the back is still a mirror group design that continues the square Deco + line partition, this design will make Xiaomi 14 sufficiently differentiated in the Android camp.
In terms of specific configuration, the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 naturally can't run away, the screen is still about 6.3 inches, but this time it will be replaced by a domestic flagship screen, the resolution will be increased to 1.5K, bringing better picture fineness, the eye protection part will also be strengthened, bringing a better display effect, the screen border will be further narrowed, narrower than the border of the iPhone 15 Pro, and the front face value is worth looking forward to.
In the image part, the main camera is expected to be upgraded to a 1/1.28-inch large bottom sensor, and the specifications of the telephoto lens will also be improved, which is bound to bring better image capabilities. In the battery life part, the battery capacity is increased to 4860mAh, the wired charging power is increased to 90W, and the wireless charging is still 50W.
In terms of peripherals, NFC, infrared remote control, dual speakers, X-axis motor and fingerprint under the screen are standard, and this time the X-axis motor will be upgraded, and the vibration feedback will be greatly improved. Overall, Xiaomi 14 has been evenly improved in performance, screen, image, fast charging, battery, peripherals and appearance this time.
So who is the opponent of the Xiaomi Mi 14? Some netizens think that the iPhone 15 standard version must be a little inadequate, after all, the iPhone 15 is still an A16 processor, there is no high refresh rate screen, and the image part does not even have a telephoto, so Xiaomi 14 is used to benchmark the iPhone 15 Pro is more appropriate, after all, the related configuration of the two is more comparable.
However, from the actual situation, Xiaomi's appeal in the high-end market is obviously not as good as Apple, so Xiaomi will take the way of horse racing, although the configuration of Xiaomi 14 is stronger than iPhone 15, but the price is cheaper than iPhone 15, so Xiaomi 14 is more or seize the market of iPhone 15, the market of iPhone 15 Pro is not something Xiaomi needs to consider for the time being.
In recent years, Xiaomi's determination to hit the high-end is very resolute, and through the Xiaomi 13 series has achieved certain results, but Apple's status is not so easy to shake, Xiaomi has not brought substantial impact on Apple, plus this time Huawei king returns, Xiaomi and other domestic brands in the domestic 6K above the high-end market space is even smaller.
Therefore, for domestic brands such as Xiaomi, it is more reasonable to stabilize the market around 5K, from the performance of the Xiaomi 13 series, as long as the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 does not overturn, the Xiaomi 14 series chooses to play steadily, steadily improve the strategy of improvement, stabilize and develop the high-end market between 4K and 6K, it is still very promising.
In general, Xiaomi wants to stand at the high-end like Huawei, the difficulty is still not small, self-developed SOC this matter aside, can the problem of MIUI reputation decline be solved first? In fact, as long as MIUI's reputation can be maintained in recent years, Xiaomi's high-end road will be more comfortable, and as a result, MIUI's performance in recent years is difficult to say.
Therefore, compared with the Xiaomi 14 series of mobile phones, the performance of MIUI 15 may be more critical, as long as MIUI 15 can meet user expectations, Xiaomi 14 series can be said to be half successful, if MIUI 15 is still lackluster by then, then Xiaomi 14 series want to kill all sides or forget it, hope MIUI 15 can reshape MIUI glory.
