Do you want to treat yourself to one of the best smartphones but your budget is limited to €200? We have selected for you the Samsung Galaxy A14 4G, Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G and Honor 70 Lite models. But among these, which one is really for you? Here are several technical characteristics compared to help you see more clearly.
The three mobiles that we have selected for you offer rather conventional designs. The Samsung Galaxy A14 4G is the purest of the three with its back where you can see the lenses of the photo sensors barely protruding from the hull and without any other artifice. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G has a plate in the color of the device to accommodate the photo sensors as well as the flash. This is also the case for the Honor 70 Lite which offers, for its part, a square plate with 4 circles of the same diameter for perfect symmetry. They are available in colors that everyone will appreciate. In terms of size, the Galaxy A14 4G is the heaviest with a weight of 201 grams compared to 194 grams for the Honor 70 Lite and 183 grams for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G. The latter is also the thinnest with a profile of 7.85 mm compared to 8.68 mm for the Honor 70 Lite and 9.1 mm for the Samsung mobile. It is the Honor smartphone which is the most compact and therefore takes up the least space in a pocket or bag.
To function, the three smartphones are equipped with a battery with an identical capacity since they are all 5000 mAh. The Xiaomi is quicker to charge than the others, with the Samsung being the slowest of the three. None offer wireless or reverse charging.
Which is the most efficient and what quality for the screens?
The mobile that offers the most power among our selection is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G since it features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 processor associated with 4 GB of RAM. It is followed by the Honor 70 Lite which uses a Snapdragon 480+ Soc with 4 GB of RAM and the possibility of adding 3 more via virtual RAM technology. The Galaxy A14 4G is also equipped with this ability to add 4 GB of virtual RAM to the 4 GB physically present in the heart of the mobile. The chipset is the least efficient of the three when it comes to the MediaTek Helio G80 processor. They are offered with different storage capacities, all of which can accept the addition of a memory card to expand the internal memory.
The most interesting screen, in our opinion, is that of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G since it is equipped with a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a definition of 1080×2400 pixels and benefits from a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz to provide smooth scrolling. In addition, Xiaomi announces a high brightness of 1200 cd/m². The screen of the Samsung Galaxy A14 4G is 6.6 inches with a definition of 1080×2400 pixels on an LCD panel, less qualitative and above all a much lower frequency since limited to 60 Hz. The Honor 70 Lite also uses an LCD panel, on 6 .5 inches with a lower definition, 720×1600 pixels but with a frequency of 90 Hz.
What configurations for photos and what connectivity?
For taking photos, all three devices are equipped with a 50-megapixel main sensor. Samsung and Xiaomi complement this with a 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor for the Galaxy A14 4G and 8-megapixel for the Redmi Note 12 4G. The Honor 70 Lite, for its part, does not have an ultra-wide-angle sensor but a module dedicated to optimizing portraits. The three smartphones are equipped with a 2 megapixel sensor for shooting in macro mode, that is to say very close to the subject.
For selfies, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G and the Galaxy A14 4G have a 13 megapixel front sensor compared to 8 megapixels on the front of the Honor 70 Lite.
In terms of connectivity, Xiaomi and Samsung mobiles are limited to 4G networks compared to access to 5G networks, which are more efficient for the Honor 70 Lite. All three offer Wi-Fi 5 as well as NFC technology for contactless payments. They have a fingerprint reader installed on the profile to authenticate the owner. The Xiaomi has the advantage of being officially certified IP53 which can withstand splashes. In addition, it has an infrared transmitter to turn it into a universal remote control.
