Analysis from three perspectives: iPhone 13 or Xiaomi 13 at the same price

It has been a while since the release of the Xiaomi 13 series. Although the design is a bit too wordy and controversial, the Xiaomi 13 series is a good choice for a new year's replacement, both in terms of price and machine configuration.

However, with the price reduction of models in the past years, the iPhone 13 has come to the same price as Xiaomi 13, which makes many students a little confused. So, in the face of the same price, whether to choose the iPhone 13 or Xiaomi 13?

I went to see the price of these two models on a proprietary platform:

IPhone 13:128GB is 4899

Xiaomi 13:12+512GB sells for 4999

Xiaomi 13 Pro: the price of 8+128GB is 4999

I think we can talk about how to choose the iPhone 13 and Xiaomi 13 from the experience perspective and parameter perspective.

I started using Xiaomi mobile phones officially from Xiaomi 8 (except Xiaomi 11), which is used together with the iPhone every year. The current combination is iPhone 14 Pro Max 256 and Xiaomi 12 Pro 12+256.

From the perspective of user experience alone, Xiaomi mobile phones are more worried than iPhones. Especially for new users of Xiaomi, if they use Xiaomi mobile phones for the first time, they are more worried than old users.

For example, if you are a new user of Xiaomi's mobile phone, an important step in using Xiaomi for the first time is how to turn off system level advertising and built-in application advertising.

It's good to say that system level advertisements have a unified off switch, but advertisements for built-in applications require one software and one software on settings, such as how to close calendar advertisements, how to close weather advertisements, and how to close download management advertisements. The key is that different software has different off paths.

Secondly, Xiaomi's mobile phone has an experience problem that many people on the Internet haven't mentioned. That is, if you haven't cleaned up the background, once the memory used exceeds half of the total memory (the approximate magnitude observed for so many years), when you open a new software, you will probably have a blank screen when the software is opened. Only the placeholders are constantly loading, which makes people think it is a bad problem of the network. Of course, the solution to this problem is very simple. One click to clear the memory, or clear the background, or restart the phone.

The last is the daily animation frame dropping. Exactly speaking, in fact, any mobile phone will have the problem of frame loss. In fact, there is no need to worry too much. But there is an obvious gap when comparing daily experience. The frame dropping of Xiaomi's transitional animation can be regarded as a normal state, and it is a small probability event without frame dropping. The iPhone will drop, of course, but the probability is not that high.

Especially in the camera interface, when switching between different lenses, frame dropping is more obvious. If you zoom into the long view, it's a great experience. In fact, this problem has not been solved for so many years. At present, there is no Xiaomi 13 on hand. But according to the actual experience of so many years, I do not expect that this problem can be solved well.

Of course, Xiaomi 13 is also very exciting. That's the consistent high cost performance ratio. In terms of nearly similar prices, Xiaomi 13 provides a configuration that is hard to refuse at this price point, coupled with good workmanship and after-sales service. From this point of view, it is the core competitiveness of Xiaomi 13.

1. Storage space

Xiaomi 13 can provide 12+512GB of basic configuration at this price, but the iPhone 13 has never seen it. It provides a 4+128GB configuration. Although this configuration works well on the iOS platform, the 128GB storage space should be carefully selected if it is to be oriented to the next few years.

2. Screen configuration

The biggest highlight of this year is that the frame of Xiaomi 13 series is almost equal in visual width (the bottom frame is 2mm wider than other places), and even narrower than the iPhone frame. With a small hole digging camera, Xiaomi 13 has a much better visual effect than iPhone 13.

Xiaomi13 uses a 6.36 inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 and a PPI of 413.

The iPhone 13 uses a 6.1 inch screen with a resolution of 2532 x 1170 and a PPI of 460.

As a whole, there may be no obvious difference. However, the most important thing is that the screen refresh rate of Xiaomi 13 is 120Hz, while that of iPhone 13 is only 60Hz. This is basically not a screen configuration of an era.

3.Soc

In terms of absolute performance, the Snapdragon 8Gen2 used by Xiaomi 13 is basically close to the A16 on the iPhone 14 Pro this year, which is stronger than the shrunken A15 on the iPhone 13.

As for daily experience, as long as the ultimate performance of the two models is not explored, the gap between the two models will not be very obvious.

4. Camera configuration

Xiaomi 135 million pixel main camera+12 million pixel super wide angle+10 million pixel telephoto, jointly named by Leica;

IPhone 13 12 megapixel main camera+12 megapixel super wide angle.

Theoretically, the imaging effect of Xiaomi 13 will be better, and it also provides more diversified playing methods. For those who like shooting, Xiaomi 13 is a better choice in terms of camera parameters.

Therefore, regardless of the perspective, the parameter configuration of Xiaomi 13 is almost overwhelming. For those who care more about parameters, Xiaomi 13 is the only choice.

Of course, I care more about daily experience. In combination with my daily needs, if I choose, I will choose the iPhone 13.

In fact, in this price comparison, the iPhone 13 has a very obvious disadvantage, that is, the storage space is too small. If there is a large demand for storage space, the Xiaomi 13 is a must.

However, because I have the habit of deleting files on a regular basis, plus the NAS, the storage space of the computer is enough, so the demand for the storage space of the mobile phone is not so large. If I really want to limit the challenge, 64GB of storage space is enough for me.

The second is the overall mobile experience. The iPhone experience is more stable and deterministic, so there won't be so many headaches to worry about. I don't need to worry about when the experience suddenly changes, nor do I need to search how to turn off the system advertisement, etc. Although the signal is certainly not as good as Xiaomi's mobile phone, most of these problems occur in extreme scenarios.

Finally, Xiaomi's expectations are basically that it is better not to have expectations. Every year's experience upgrading and updating is a big book, but from Xiaomi 8 to Xiaomi 12 Pro (except for Xiaomi 11), the basic experience is better to be calm. It is hard to believe that this underlying problem can be solved.

But from the bottom of my heart, these experience problems do not hide their flaws. Xiaomi's mobile phone is still quite conscientious overall, and has achieved a good balance in price and configuration. Therefore, in terms of these daily experience problems, I don't care. But if there is only one choice, iPhone must have priority over Xiaomi.
