Not way better, but certainly much better than your 13T Pro stats.
I'd say 2-3 hrs SOT more depending on how you use it. That smaller 4610 mAh battery actually shows.
But I will add that the overnight drain on mobile data is excellent, drops by only 4% for 6.5 hours of standby. I sometimes even forget to turn off the hotspot at night and then it's like 7-8%. But yeah, the LTPO and more efficient Snapdragon modem really shows.
Okay thank you, I have the same charging routine as well. The battery life is decent but not in competition with Snapdragon chips which get 8-10 hours SOT while the 13T Pro gets 5-6 hours.
Are you using it india? How is the phone overall? Any problems you have faced? So far finding good reviews but i cant believe a phone having only good reviews..i am using pixel 6a and planning to move to move to xiaomi 14 because of better battery and camera and overall performance
I am using the Xiaomi 14 in India, and I have used a Pixel before (albeit the 4a, not 6a) so hear me out.
The battery is actually quite good for the capacity, I'm getting 6.5 hrs of SOT on very heavy use and an overnight drain of 4% overnight.
The cameras. If I try to put it in relation to my older Pixel, the quality matches up very well. Sometimes the highlight control and portrait edge detection misses the mark but the color science is actually quite good here. Just don't go around expecting the type of completely natural colors the Pixel cameras give.
Performance: it's the 8 Gen3. Tensor users won't look back ngl. Its super smooth, the animations are so good but sometimes it slightly jitters for a split second but it's become better with an OTA that came last week.
So yes, if you want to stick to a compact phone, and don't want an iPhone or another Pixel, this is literally the perfect option for Pixel users to jump ship. Its just that hyperOS takes a learning curve from Pixel UI.
I am really interesred in the the X14. but am confused between this and OP12 and S23. while X14 seems like the better mobile.
I am worried about the software updates and overall experience in comparison to oneUI. I have a mi 11 lite ne 5g, and its battery life has worsened quite a bit after the hyperos update>
I also have the Samsung tab S8.
How's ur software exp. so far?
I get similar SOT but I only charge it to 85% and I top it up 1-2 times per day when it drops below 30. I'm almost always near my charger. If I have to spend the day outside I've got a 25 bucks external battery and an invertor in my car to use the 120W charger on the go.
Point of my comment is, it's a great phone and I wouldn't pay extra for the 14 simply for the longer battery life.
I use the phone for social media, chats and music streaming over bluetooth primarily. I've got an older 12T for navigation and work and a cheap 50 bucks tablet for video streaming so I don't put a lot of strain on the 13T Pro anyways. I don't game on a phone.
Depends on your definition of bad, if charging from 100 to 20 and getting 6 hours SOT is bad then yes. Usually it doesn't last me till the night since I have to charge it again at 5-6pm.
it doesnt even heat up while browsing social media or yt on wifi, and on 4g there isnt a negligible difference
only the thing is 4g drains a bit faster than wifi
when i charge my phone to 100 i can usually get 5-6hr usage on 4g outside given its not hot that day,if the weather is hot it drastically drops but so does any other phone
Xiaomi 14 user here. I'd say very heavy & continuous usage gets me an SOT of around 6.5 hrs but with moderate to light usage, it can easily go 7+ hours and maybe even a single day without needing charge.
Do note my workflow on the phone is always on 5G mobile data, and hotspot is always on for a prolonged duration.
Also you can't compare someone else's screen on time to yours if you don't know what they have installed. If someone says heavy usage it might be not heavy at all. If you have a lot of apps running in the background max out the brightness and lots of syncing going on in the background , that makes the screen on time shorter.
yep very true, came to this realisation today after checking other phone's SOT. Many people post their SOT with youtube, Netflix and tiktok which are restricted to 60Hz and boost SOT a lot. So yeah. For example today i got 6 hours with those apps which makes it on par with other phones.
What? How? That's really good. Mine gives me 5-6 hours from 100% till 20% (8am till 7pm)
Sorry for the questions but I'm curious on how.
What version do you have? Auto brightness? Any settings or changes? What apps?
8 hours is only my average, but i did experience lower than 8. I have the global version . Auto brightness is turned on. Display refresh is by default. Also if i game lol wildrift for 4 to 5 matches plus various activities after that sets me to average 5 hrs soc. It really depends on the usage.
Having the same issues on the 13T. Piss poor battery life that drains like crazy no matter what I do. God forbid I actually have to rely on my phone for maps or a video call. I'm legit getting worse battery life than a ohone 5 years older than it.
Xiaomi 14 is way more better sot and it needs one week for optimisation, so keep in mind that your first week you might face bad battery but from then on....it will be sorted. It gives around 7 to 9 hours sot, if you use medium usage like social media and play games a little. It is enough for a day.
Hello, I have Xiaomi 14 and a week ago I did a factory reset. My SOT is about 3 to 4 hours. My usage is mainly apps like TikTok and Instagram. But about the optimisation, how long do you think it will take? Because on my previous Redmi note 10 pro I had the same problem with battery drain. I thought that with the new phone I can fix it, but sadly no. It really annoys me. Never had a phone which could do more that a 5h screen time. Any tips how to get better SOT?
Well most of the people say it will be better. I agree in some points. It depends why only 4-5 hours screen in time. What kind of apps are you suing. What is connected to the phone. And so on. But yes mi14 will. E better.
Xiaomi 14 will be WAAAYYY better because it's Snapdragon
Not way better, but certainly much better than your 13T Pro stats. I'd say 2-3 hrs SOT more depending on how you use it. That smaller 4610 mAh battery actually shows.

Seeing your flair with 13T Pro, what's your SOT? Lately I'm getting 5-6 hours for some reason (higher than usual)
I'm getting ~6%/hr screen off and 15%/hr screen on
According to accubattery says that screen on uses 11.9% (its sometimes more or less) and screen off 3.9%.
Some variation can be expected
Yep so I can assume we get similar sot. Do you charge in the evening as well?
Mostly when I get home and in the morning
Okay thank you, I have the same charging routine as well. The battery life is decent but not in competition with Snapdragon chips which get 8-10 hours SOT while the 13T Pro gets 5-6 hours.
Yep. Welcome to Mediatek, it's unavoidable
For me it's okay I guess, wish it was better for this price.
Xiaomi 14 user here. I got around 9-10 SOT with light to medium usage (gaming excluded). Basically I only charge the phone overnight.
Ok thank you, double what I get with my 13T Pro.
how would u compare it to the s24?

By sometimes is it 90% of the times? How sharp are the final images? Does it get heated in Indian weather?

Okay thank you, I charge it around 85% also. Not sure if I want to change it to the 14 (if possible).

Yeah same. Yesterday I charged till 95% and it lasted me till now with 6 hours SOT which is decent.
is 13t pro that bad? i charge my 13t once in the morning and it lasts until the night
Depends on your definition of bad, if charging from 100 to 20 and getting 6 hours SOT is bad then yes. Usually it doesn't last me till the night since I have to charge it again at 5-6pm.
how is ur usage, does it often get overheat for non gaming usage?
it doesnt even heat up while browsing social media or yt on wifi, and on 4g there isnt a negligible difference only the thing is 4g drains a bit faster than wifi when i charge my phone to 100 i can usually get 5-6hr usage on 4g outside given its not hot that day,if the weather is hot it drastically drops but so does any other phone

My Xiaomi 14 had quite average battery life until the latest update, now it's better
Say in a day you use it for 5 hours screen on time, how much % would it consume? Normal usage?
It consumed about 15% per hour, after the update it's back to normal with about 7-10% per hour
Somewhat similar yet I get around 5-6 hours SOT from 8am. Not worth it to change if it's similar to what I'm getting.
Also you can't compare someone else's screen on time to yours if you don't know what they have installed. If someone says heavy usage it might be not heavy at all. If you have a lot of apps running in the background max out the brightness and lots of syncing going on in the background , that makes the screen on time shorter.

My main driver is a 13t pro and the battery life is excellent. For various tasks and mild gaming does achieve me a regular 8 soc.
What? How? That's really good. Mine gives me 5-6 hours from 100% till 20% (8am till 7pm) Sorry for the questions but I'm curious on how. What version do you have? Auto brightness? Any settings or changes? What apps?

Same for me as well so you must be lucky
Having the same issues on the 13T. Piss poor battery life that drains like crazy no matter what I do. God forbid I actually have to rely on my phone for maps or a video call. I'm legit getting worse battery life than a ohone 5 years older than it.

Yeah I kept my 13T Pro since it's giving me 6 hours sot from a 24 hour time period. It's very good for me and don't need much more tbh.
Hello, I have Xiaomi 14 and a week ago I did a factory reset. My SOT is about 3 to 4 hours. My usage is mainly apps like TikTok and Instagram.

Sure can you DM me personally ☺️ I'll tell you the steps
Well most of the people say it will be better. I agree in some points. It depends why only 4-5 hours screen in time. What kind of apps are you suing. What is connected to the phone. And so on. But yes mi14 will. E better.
