Xiaomi, which appeared more than 10 years ago, has come a long way from a small, little-known manufacturer inspired by Apple products to a confident leader in the smartphone market. The brand managed to create a separate identity, and since then Xiaomi has diversified significantly, making smartphones the mainstay of its catalog. They have already overtaken Samsung!
Xiaomi phones focused on finding the right price-quality ratio, special attention is paid here to software. The MIUI interface offers one of the strongest asides in the Android universe.
Among the shortcomings, we note the almost pathological tendency of Xiaomi to release dozens of names every year, with very similar names, characteristics and prices. Even those who follow the company's news every day sometimes get confused in the assortment... However, this does not apply to flagships.
If you are interested in the best Xiaomi smartphones, here is a small overview of the premium models. The selection was selected by the specialists of the AVIC gadget store, where you can order them at favorable prices.
Which Xiaomi smartphone to buy in 2024?
Flagship without compromises. Xiaomi 13 Ultra smartphone
A smartphone for those who like to shoot videos: on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, you can record videos in cinematic 4K quality at a speed of up to 60 frames per second. Another feature is support for optical five-fold zoom: it is easy to "fix" on the device, for example, frightened wild animals from a long distance. You can save the recorded material on the internal drive with a capacity of 512 GB. Performance is also fine here. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will "take out" any mobile game at "maximum speed". And the Xiaomi 13 Ultra charges quickly - from 35 to 0% in just 100 minutes. A smartphone will not be suitable, except for haters of the "shovel" - 13 Ultra is quite bulky due to the display with a diagonal of 6,73 inches and a peculiar camera unit.
A balanced flagship. Xiaomi 13 Pro smartphone
The performance of Xiaomi 13 Pro will last more than one year. It is equipped with the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, up to 512 GB of fast internal memory of the latest UFS 4.0 standard, 8/12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The main camera is represented by three sensors of 50 MP each - main, telephoto, ultra-wide-angle. The Xiaomi 13 Pro, like the Ultra model, is capable of shooting 4K/60 fps video, and the optical zoom is limited to 3,2X. As for the body, the manufacturer saved a bit on materials: the back of the smartphone is covered with glass, not leatherette, like the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
A competitor's worst nightmare. Xiaomi 13T smartphone
Xiaomi 13T went on sale in the fall and immediately won the love of users due to high performance (thanks to the Dimensity 8200 Ultra chip) and excellent shooting at the level of more expensive devices. The device is equipped with an advanced camera with Leica optics and a telephoto module with support for double optical zoom, which allows you to shoot objects at a distance without loss of quality. Those who often "water" smartphones will be happy to know that the Xiaomi 13T is protected against water and dust according to the IP68 standard and can withstand submersion under water to a depth of one and a half meters for several tens of minutes. At the same time, it is not advisable to drop the Xiaomi 13T - the plastic edges of the case may crack.
When the power of the Xiaomi 13T is not enough. Xiaomi 13T Pro smartphone
Missing the power of the Xiaomi 13T? Then keep the 13T Pro model. The smartphone is equipped with a Dimensity 9200+ chip, which is 40% more productive than the Dimensity 8200 Ultra. This is noticeable not only in games and "heavy" applications. In Xiaomi 13T Pro, thanks to a more productive chip, the 4K shooting mode at 60 frames per second is unlocked. The model is available in the maximum configuration with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage.
The flagship of a new generation. Xiaomi 14 smartphone
New at the end of 2023. Xiaomi 14 on the top processor Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has three 50-megapixel cameras with a telephoto module that allow you to take great pictures even of distant objects. Tired of MIUI? The HyperOS operating system will provide a new experience of using Xiaomi smartphones. The LTPO display with a peak brightness of 3000 nits makes the image on the screen readable even in direct sunlight. Xiaomi 14 did not add in size. The device is still compact - 6,36 inches. That is why I got a modest battery - 4610 mAh. So you can't count on a long battery life.
Xiaomi's best offer. Xiaomi 14 Pro smartphone
Xiaomi smartphone 14 Pro leads the rating of smartphones. In many ways, it is similar to the base configuration, but offers a larger display (6,73 inches), a larger battery (4880 mAh) and a camera that can change the size of the aperture (f/1.4-f/4.0). Thanks to this, the smartphone takes great pictures at any time of the day. The Xiaomi 14 Pro is available in a titanium case - just like the iPhone 15 Pro.
Xiaomi 14 is already available in Ukraine for UAH 45, and Xiaomi 000 Ultra in Europe costs from €14.
Pre-orders for these models are already available in the AVIC online store. And other Xiaomi smartphones can be bought at a good price.
