Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro will be introduced later this week, and the phones already appeared on Geekbench. Both the vanilla and Pro variants will have 16 GB RAM in at least one of their variants and will ship with Android 14 out of the box, which will be the base for the new HyperOS.
The Xiaomi 14 went through Geekbench 5,
while the Xiaomi 14 Pro ran Geekbench 6. These benchmarks are pretty different,
so the results cannot be compared with each other. Nevertheless, we can compare
them with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered phones to see the performance increase.
The Xiaomi 14 is about 20% more potent in
multi-core performance, compared with the Xiaomi 13 we reviewed, while
single-core is about 5% better. Similarly, the Xiaomi 14 Pro is about 20%
faster than the Xiaomi 13 Pro as per our tests.
The listings also reveal once again the
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor – 1x3.30 GHz Cortex-X4 + 3x3.15 GHz Cortex-A720 +
2x2.96 GHz Cortex-A720 + 2x2.7 GHz Cortex-A520. We did hear that the
Cortex-A720 units might be in one big 5-core cluster, but we'll have all the
final details tomorrow during the Snapdragon Summit.
