Do you want one of the latest smartphones to hit the market, but hesitate between the Xiaomi 13, the Samsung Galaxy S23, the iPhone 14 or the OnePlus 11? Here are some comparison elements to help you make your choice and select the one that is really made for you.
The design is somewhat everyone’s business and the four smartphones we have selected for this comparison all benefit from remarkable lines. The iPhone 14 has flat profiles with a block of chrome photo sensors with a very nice effect. Samsung’s Galaxy S23 sports a particularly sleek design with photo lenses as if placed on a perfectly flat surface with relatively flat profiles too. This is also the case with the Xiaomi 13 and they are particularly brilliant. The OnePlus 11 has a curved back and screen that go back to the profiles while it has the most imposing photo sensor module of the four models. The objectives are inscribed in a large circle that ends at the side.
Of all, it is the Samsung Smartphone which is the lightest with a weight of 167 grams once morest 172 grams for the iPhone 14, 185 grams for the Xiaomi 13 while the OnePlus 11 is the heaviest with 205 grams on the scale . It is also the largest or the most bulky, depending on one’s point of view. Let’s say it offers the largest dimensions, 163.1 mm high once morest 152.8 mm for the Xiaomi 13 while the Galaxy S23 and iPhone 14 are 146.3 and 146.7 mm high. The OnePlus is also the widest and it is the “narrowest” Samsung.
Which is the most powerful?
In terms of performance, thanks to its 6-core Apple A15 Bionic chipset, the iPhone 14 offers slightly more computing power than the Samsung Galaxy S23 with a special version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor (For Galaxy ) boasting a higher clock frequency and a series of hardware-software optimizations. The OnePlus 11 and the Xiaomi 13 have the same chip, a “classic” Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with 8 GB of RAM. However, the OnePlus is also available with 16 GB of RAM which, in this case, gives it an advantage over the Xiaomi mobile.
The battery with the most capacity is installed at the heart of the OnePlus 11 with 5000 mAh once morest 4500 mAh for the Xiaomi 13, 3900 mAh for the Samsung and 3279 mAh for the Apple mobile. It is also the one that charges the fastest supporting the load at 100 watts once morest 67 watts for the Xiaomi, 25 watts for the Samsung and less for the iPhone. On the other hand, the OnePlus ignores wireless charging, a functionality possible with the other three as well as offering reverse charging.
Which has the most remarkable screen and which connectivity?
If you are looking for the best screen in this comparison, the OnePlus 11 is the one to look at with its 6.7-inch curved panel offering a high definition of 1440×3216 pixels with excellent readability and a refresh rate varying between 1 and 120 Hz, depending on the application in use and in order to find the best compromise between fluidity of the interface and energy consumption. In addition, it is compatible with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision video formats. This is also the case with the screen of the Xiaomi 13, but with a narrower frequency range, a smaller surface, 6.36 inches and a lower definition, 1080×2400 pixels.
The screens of the Samsung and iPhone 14 have the same size: 6.1 inches, but the mobile offers a slightly higher definition and therefore potentially increased readability. The Samsung screen can vary its refresh rate between 48 and 120 Hz while that of the iPhone 14 oscillates between 10 and 60 Hz offering less fluid scrolling than all the other mobiles in this comparison. All use an AMOLED panel, much more qualitative than LCD screens.
In terms of connectivity, they are all 5G, NFC and Bluetooth compatible. The iPhone 14 offers Wi-Fi 6 once morest Wi-Fi 6E for the Xiaomi 13 and Samsung Galaxy S23, the latter adding a UWB module (ultra wideband also offered by Apple) to detect nearby connected objects. The OnePlus 11 comes with Wi-Fi 6 with the option to switch to Wi-Fi 7 when possible, via an update. Only the OnePlus 11 is not waterproof, only splashproof, IP64 certified while the others are IP68 certified, being able to be fully submerged under the screen up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes without suffering any damage.
The fingerprint reader is installed under the screen of Samsung, Xiaomi and Samsung, the iPhone 14 being devoid of it. That of the Xiaomi 13 has the particularity of being able to read the heart rate of the user.
What are the configurations for taking photos and videos?
On paper, the most muscular configuration for taking photos is the OnePlus which offers it. Indeed, the latter is equipped with an optically stabilized Sony IMX890 sensor of 50 megapixels with an ultra wide-angle sensor of 48 megapixels also stabilized HDR compatible. There is also a 32 megapixel Sony IMX709 sensor capable of 2x optical zooms and also managing the optimization of photos in portrait mode. Note also the presence of a multispectral module which optimizes color rendering, also helped by the software processing operated by the partner Hasselblad.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 and Xiaomi 13 feature a 50-megapixel sensor with a 12-megapixel module for 120-degree ultra-wide-angle shots. They also have a 10-megapixel telephoto lens capable of zooming to 3x for the Samsung and 3.2x for the Xiaomi. Finally, the iPhone 14 is content with two 12-megapixel sensors, one of which is optically stabilized and the other capable of offering a 2x optical zoom.
