Be that as it may, the 14 Genius has a secret weapon. Its new Leica-created 23mm-equiv. focal point includes a f/1.42-f/4 variable gap – an undeniable improvement over the f/1.9 focal point in the 13 Expert.

Camera equipment is practically indistinguishable from that of the 14 Ace, meaning a threesome of 50MP back confronting cameras – a beneficial redesign over the 50MP/10MP/12MP wide/fax/ultrawide config in the Xiaomi 13. However the wide-point modules in the Xiaomi 13 and 14 offer a similar 50MP goal, the 1/1.49″ sensor in the ’13 has been traded for a similar 1/1.31″ sensor as in the 14 Genius. The main distinction between the camera equipment in the 14 and 14 Expert is the more modest telephone needs to manage without the f/1.42-4 variable opening focal point, rather using a decent f/1.6 iris. That is as yet an improvement over the f/1.8 max gap of the Xiaomi 13 however, and Xiaomi is guaranteeing up to 180% better light responsiveness subsequently.
