The Xiaomi 14 is part of Xiaomi's new generation of premium smartphones and, at 6.36 inches, just as compact as its predecessor. The elegant metal and glass casing houses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which provides plenty of speed. The Xiaomi 14 also scores points with its 3000 nits bright AMOLED display, very long battery life and its Leica-branded cameras.
Mate come on you’re moving the goalposts now. First an iPhone is compact now it’s not? Make your mind up!
The iPhone mini is long gone and the Xperia compact series is long gone too. Nobody bought them.
And no, the 6.3" screen doesn’t make it lose meaning. If the bezels shrink and the screen grows but the phone is the same size… then the phone is the same size.
My laptop, thanks to modern slim bezels, has a 14.something inch screen in a space that traditionally would’ve had a 13 inch screen.
Is it less compact because the screen is larger? Your argument is that the laptop has grown, despite the dimensions staying the same.
Bezels stopped mattering a long time ago. The overall height of this phone is 6mm taller than the zenfone and 5mm taller than the iPhone.
You’re saying if ford discontinued all models except for the F350, we could call the short box version a compact truck.
It’s 2% larger than a phone you happily called compact.
Stop moving goalposts.
Bezels do matter. Their shrinking has allowed for large screens on phones without increasing the size. Comparing compactness of phones by their screen size rather than actual size is misguided.
I’m sorry I hurt your feelings by bringing facts into this :((
