what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back in today's video we're taking a
quick look at one of the latest phones from xiaomi the one that we have here today it's called the
xiaomi 13 Light now I've also included a full camera comparison between this device and my
iPhone 14 pro and if you're hearing you just want to see that camera comparison that one starts at
this minute of this video so you can skip right to that if that's the only thing you want to see and
of course I know this is not exactly a fair camera comparison but don't misunderstand the purpose of
it through this comparison I just wanted to show you what a budget friendly device like the xiaomi
13 Lite can do and compare them to a flagship what I saw about this device this is the first phone
that I got to try that's using the Snapdragon 7 gen one that's paired with 8 gigs of RAM and on
the attitude Benchmark get a score of about 560 000. so of course not the highest score out there
but let's keep in mind the price of this device because this is half of the price of a flagship
now even though that score is nothing insanely high you can still expect really good performance
for pretty much anything that you're gonna be doing with this device so this also runs MIUI
14 that's based on Android 12. now interestingly enough the xiaomi 13 runs me UI 14 that's based
on Android 13. so I found that um interesting so this is based on Android 12. so for gaming for
social media for browsing the web or anything like that the phone does perform really really well
and I've also noticed that it doesn't get that hot when playing games this is a problem with a
lot of phones because they do get them a bit too hot when playing games but but this doesn't seem
to be an issue for this particular device inside it we also have a 4500 milliamp hour battery and
the device supports 67 watt fast charging and we actually get a charger that comes in the box which
is something that we don't typically find with a lot of phones these days so charging this device
from 0 to 100 do the charger that comes in the box is done in about 50 minutes so from zero to 100
and on one charge you should be able to get about seven hours of on screen on time on the front of
the device you have a 6.55 inches AMOLED screen that has a 1080p resolution and a refresh rate
of 120 hertz the peak brightness for this screen is a thousand nits so yes you're gonna be able to
see this phone outside on indirect sunlight with a lot of budget friendly devices you can't exactly
see the screens but that shouldn't be an issue with this particular device we also have curved
edges on the left and on the right hand side of the screen now some of you love this curve edges
some of them don't but if you want something that doesn't have curved down edges that is
always the xiaomi 13 that has a flat on screen but of course this one is much more expensive
so for the xiaomi 13 Light we do get them a curved on screen now at the top here we have a
32 megapixel um camera and another camera that's used for portrait remote pictures but I kind of
find that cut out a bit interesting because it does look a lot like the one that we get on the
iPhone 14 pro even though it doesn't actually have any the of the functionality that we get
from the one on the iPhone 14 pro there is also an in-screen fingerprint scanner that does work
on pretty well so all you have to do is touch the screen at the bottom here and of course the phone
unlock and I would say the fingerprint scanner works just as good as it does on any Flagship
powder now one thing I've noticed is the fact that we don't have dual speakers so we only have one
speaker at the bottom here and the speaker doesn't sound bad by any means but it is still one speaker
I do prefer phones that have one of the top one at the bottom but with this device you're only gonna
get the one at the bottom so here we have the USBC charging port and the slot for for the SIM card so
this device can take two SIM cards but it cannot take an SD card something turn to keep in mind
the phone's frame is also made out of metal so yes it does give the phone that premium feel and
look I'm gonna say on the right hand side here we have the power button and the volume keys
nothing on the left hand side another top here we have a secondary hole probably for another
microphone and the hole for the IR Blaster so yes you could use this phone as a remote control for
your TV just to give you an example this phone also has an NFC chip inside it so yes you can
make payments using Google pay it supports 5G connectivity so if your carrier offers 5G you
could connect to the 5G networks personally my carrier doesn't offer 5G connectivity yet so
so I haven't done try that out we have Wi-Fi 6 so faster downloading speeds if you do have
Wi-Fi 6 at home and I've also tried the GPS unit inside it and it takes about a second to find your
location once connected then it will not lose um your location and just in case you're wondering
yes you're gonna be able to watch Netflix on HD on this device so overall a pretty cool looking
device but I feel that not a lot has changed I'm seeing some the xiaomi 12 light I was kind
of hoping we would get a few more changes compared to the last year's device but realistically kind
of the same performance and a lot of things are similar to the last year some device all right and
that brings us to our camera comparison so on the back here the main camera is a 15 megapixel sensor
then we have a 8 megapixel Ultra wide camera and then we have a 2 megapixel macro camera I wish
they wouldn't even include those some 2 megapixel selling sensors anymore but it's here just in case
and on the front here we have a 32 megapixel um sensor and with that being said let's start
by checking out some sample and video recordings that I've done with my iPhone 14 pro and of course
um with the xiaomi 13 Light all right and we're starting our camera complete
that I've done the front facing cameras on the xiaomi 13 Lite and of course the iPhone 14 pro now
if you're recording the front facing camera on the xiaomi 13 Light the maximum recording resolution
is 1080p at 60 frames per second of course so the iPhone 14 pro we can do a 4K at 60 frames
per second with that front facing camera it's also a pretty windy day so you're probably gonna hear
some wind aside from my voice we're gonna walk this way I'm gonna walk a bit faster just so
you can see how the video stabilization works and we'll pan this way for a bit
and a bit this way so yeah front facing cameras on the xiaomi 13 Lite and of course the iPhone 14 pro
all right and we're moving on to a quick recording that we are doing with the main cameras on the
back of the xiaomi 13 Light and of course the iPhone 14 pro now if now if you're recording the
Windows per second with the xiaomi 13 like of course with the iPhone 14 version also record
in forehead 30 frames per second just as I mentioned earlier it is a bit windy so
you may hear some wind aside from my voice I'm gonna stop here we're gonna pan right
the waves are pretty crazy today and we'll walk this way so towards Laura basically and I'm also
trying to walk a bit faster just so you can see how the video stabilization works on both devices
so yeah main cameras 4K at 30 frames per second okay and we're moving on to our last recording
Forum daytime so for this recording I switched the cameras to the ultra wide cameras now if
you're recording with the ultra white camera on the back of the xiaomi 13 Light the maximum
recording resolution is 1080p at 30 frames per second so you cannot even do 1080p at 60 frames
per second something to keep in mind of course with the iPhone 14 pro we can also do 4K at 60
frames per second with that Ultra wide on camera so we're gonna walk this way for a bit just so
you can see how that video stabilization works and we're gonna stop here and pan left slowly
so yeah Ultra wide cameras on the back of the iPhone 14 pro and of course the xiaomi 13 Light
all right we have a quick video recording in low light between the xiaomi 13 Light and of
course the iPhone 14 pro for this recording we are using the main cameras on the back of
the two devices and recording in 4k 30 frames per second so I'm just gonna walk up to here
we'll stop here and we'll pan right slowly
so you can see how both devices do under these conditions and back left
so yeah this is how recording at night basically would look if you're using the xiaomi 13 Light
and the iPhone 14 pro so for video recordings if you're recording using that main camera on
the back of the device and recording in 4k 30 frames per second yes the footage does look
decent but of course if we are comparing it to the iPhone 14 pro the iPhone 14 pro does much
better once again I was disappointed to see that it doesn't have 4K recordings for the front facing
cameras so you can only do 1080p with the front facing camera so I was really hoping that this
year we would see 4K but no it's actually the same with the xiaomi 13 so no 4k on the front
and the next thumb we're gonna move on and start by checking out some pictures that I took with
the main cameras during the day all right so for the main camera and pictures taken during
the day I can't really say anything bad about the xiaomi 13 Light it actually does better than the
iPhone 14 pro in many of those pictures in many of those pictures the xiaomi actually retains the
original color so the colors that I was seeing with my own eyes better than the iPhone 14 pro
so if you're looking for a phone that's fairly affordable and can take decent looking pictures
during the day well the xiaomi 13 Lite will definitely not disappoint so for the main camera
and daytime pictures I can't really say anything bad um about it mostly considering that this phone
is about four times cheaper than the iPhone 14 pro but what do you guys think about those some
Daytime pictures definitely leave a comment and let me know your thoughts moving on to some Zoom
pictures and here I've done five times Zoom but keep in mind that the iPhone 14 pro actually has
a telephoto lens on the back so showing you five times Zoom pictures from the iPhone 14 pro isn't
exactly fair but I wanted to see you to see how um the zoom pictures from this device wouldn't look
like so of course the pictures from the iPhone are gonna be sharper but I don't think the phone does
that better share with everything light does that bad for those five times Zoom pictures maybe five
times is a bit too much because you're starting to lose quality but if you're gonna do two times
Zoom or maybe three times zoom on the quality is still um there so not too bad for um Zoom pictures
considering that we don't have a telephoto lens moving on to portrait mode pictures now the edge
detection around the subject almost seems to be slightly better uh in the pictures taken by the
iPhone 14 pro but not that big of a difference and overall for the price of the device I can't
really say anything um bad about it of course it kind of blows the highlights in some of those some
pictures but we do have to take into consideration the price so overall for portrait mode pictures
will still do pretty decent as for the pictures taking the ultra wide cameras even though the
field of view is not as wide as they wanted to get on the iPhone 14 pro I actually find most pictures
taken by the xiaomi 13 Lite to be better than the pictures that I took on the iPhone 14 pro first
of all dynamic range seems to be slightly better in the pictures taken by this device and also the
colors are closer to reality I'm gonna say so not bad for that Ultra wide camera next we're
gonna move on and check out some pictures that I took at night to the main camera and of course
the ultra white camera and all the pictures that you are seeing on your screen right now were taken
using the night modes available on both devices now looking at those pictures of course in those
situations so you don't really have any street lights or we don't really have any lights at all
the xiaomi 13 Lite doesn't do that um great the pictures are quite dark and well there is a lot
of noise in them but in those situations where you do have some street lights it does do fairly
good for a budget friendly device of course the pictures aren't as sharp as the pictures
that you are taking with the iPhone 14 pro but we do have to take into consideration that price
I do like the fact that the xiaomi 13 Lite does retain the colors well the real colors in those
pictures more than the iPhone 14 pro because the iPhone 14 pro does make some of those pictures
um look a bit too yellow so yeah these are some sample and pictures I took the main camera on
the back of the 13 Light and of course the night mode and the same kind of goes for the ultra wide
camera and the night mode so for the pictures aren't gonna be as sharp as the pictures that
we take with the iPhone 14 pro but I feel that they are pretty decent for this kind of a device
so a budget friendly device not to mention that once again the colors in the pictures taken by
the xiaomi 13 Lite do look a bit more realistic so closer to what I was seeing with my own eyes
so definitely leave a comment down below and let me know your thoughts about the nighttime
pictures that I took on the xiaomi 13 Light moving on to selfies and starting with some
Daytime selfies well here of course the iPhone 14 pro does better and even though we have a 32
megapixel sensor on the front I don't know there is no detail in those pictures if you look at my
face there is this smoothing effect over my face even though I do have that I'm totally turned off
on the xiaomi 13 Lite as for the nighttime selfies well they are not as sharp as the
ones that I took the iPhone 14 pro but you do get an idea of what the xiaomi 13 Light can do
with the front and of course some the rear cameras so what do you guys think about this device is it
worth its price should have been better what do you think about data overall definitely leave a
comment and let me know your thoughts thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
