Xiaomi 13 series can be said to be one of the most successful models of Xiaomi digital flagship, usually the sales cycle of digital series is more than a year, this time the 13 series of both products have basically completed the goal in nine months, especially 13Pro, in the middle of a period of time also sold to the whole platform out of stock.
However, the top model must also make way for the new machine, and now the Xiaomi 14 series has been scheduled for release on October 26, and the time is already very close. And for the previous generation of products is naturally to open the inventory promotion mode, coupled with this year's conference time close to Double 11, so the recent Xiaomi 13 discount is still quite large, the current third-party platform entry configuration only 3214 yuan can start, so there are many people entangled, is it now rushing Xiaomi 13 or waiting wave Xiaomi 14? So let's briefly talk about my opinion.
Let's show my conclusion directly - although the Mi 13 can indeed play, the Mi 14 is more necessary.
The reason for the success of Xiaomi 13 is naturally that the quality of the product itself is hard enough, as one of the few small screen sizes on the market, narrow side straight screen + right angle metal middle frame + slightly curved glass back panel, the weight is only 189g, the feel is good and the design is pleasing. The processor uses Snapdragon 8Gen2, which has been tested by Android flagships for a whole year, and can be said to be a generation of God U, with strong performance and good energy efficiency. In addition, there is IP68 dustproof and waterproof, three cameras are complete with Leica tuning, the image configuration is OK, this comprehensive configuration is already very bucket.
However, the Xiaomi Mi 13 is not perfect, and there are still some regrets. The first is the 0809 motor that has been complained about for a long time, its own specifications are average, and Xiaomi itself is also generally tuned, loose not like an X-axis motor, and the vibration is very plastic like a thousand-yuan machine. Another is the image, although the configuration does look good, but the ultra-wide and telephoto only give the ultra-small bottom sensor, and the telephoto also castrates optical image stabilization.
In short, although Xiaomi 13 is strong, it is inevitable that because the knife technique will leave a little shortcoming, but the good news is that these shortcomings will be made up on Xiaomi 14, and according to the high probability of breaking the news, the amount will not be increased, which is the main reason why I think I should wait for the new machine.
First of all, the motor, this time the motor of Xiaomi 14 will use the 1016 motor of the previous Xiaomi 13Pro, although it is not 0916, but the improvement in experience is not small, the texture will be upgraded, no longer plastic.
In terms of image, this time the Xiaomi 14 is not small, and the Xiaomi 14 will debut the Leica Summilux lens. This time, the new lens is not only more expensive, but also has an aperture of F1.4, with more light intake, and the color and night scene performance will be better.
In addition, in addition to Leica's new lens, the main camera of Xiaomi 14 will also be replaced with the domestic Haowei's OV50H, 1/1.3 inch, which is much larger than the previous generation of IMX800 photosensitive size and more advanced specifications. The secondary camera will also be fully upgraded to JN1 (ultra-wide angle) + JN1 (vertical telephoto), and the sensor size is 1/2.76 inch, which is also significantly upgraded compared with the previous generation.
In addition to making up for the shortcomings, Xiaomi 14 also has a lot of upgrades in other aspects, such as 0.8mm ultra-narrow straight screen, this time Xiaomi will use the 1.5K screen provided by Huaxingdian, and then through structural optimization and innovation, the border is narrowed by at least 20%. In addition, in terms of charging life, Xiaomi 14 will be upgraded to 4600mAh + 90W wired + 50W wireless specifications.
Finally, the price, Xiaomi 14 is likely to increase the amount without increasing the price in terms of price, plus the return of Huawei this year and the internal volume of each family is quite exaggerated, if Xiaomi wants to kill the siege, then the starting price of Xiaomi 14 is still 3999 yuan, then this and the price difference after the price reduction of Xiaomi 13 is not particularly large, so I personally think that Xiaomi 14 is worth waiting!
