The Xiaomi 14 Extremely has one of the best digital camera package deal of any telephone immediately; the quartet of 50MP cameras on the again take magnificent photographs and movies in any state of affairs. The Xiaomi 14 is not far behind both, and it has a smaller type issue that is excellent in case you want a compact system.
The Xiaomi 14 and 14 Extremely at the moment are on sale globally, and it seems to be like each units have points with condensation getting contained in the digital camera housing, fogging up the lenses and making it troublesome to take photographs or movies. There are a number of threads on Reddit detailing the problem, and the Xiaomi 14 Extremely’s Amazon UK itemizing is affected by clients having the identical downside.
This does not appear to be an remoted incident both, with final yr’s Xiaomi 13T Professional additionally seeing comparable points. For what it is value, my Xiaomi 14 and 14 Extremely do not have this problem, and I used each units extensively. It seems to be like the issue is especially noticeable in European markets, and it does not appear to have an effect on different areas as a lot. That is comprehensible; condensation tends to type in conditions the place there is a fast distinction in temperature, so customers in colder nations are typically affected.
That mentioned, it should not happen on $1,000 telephones; each the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Extremely have IP68 ingress safety, so they need to have seals to forestall water ingress into any a part of the telephone. What makes this example annoying is that Xiaomi does not appear to assume there is a matter with its flagship units getting lens condensation, noting that it isn’t a “product high quality problem” and that it’s a “pure phenomenon.”
In an announcement to Android Central, Xiaomi mentioned:
“Xiaomi 14 Sequence are examined in our labs to ship mud ingress and water spray safety.”
“We reassure it isn’t a product high quality problem. As a substitute, it’s a pure phenomenon to come across digital camera lens fog-up because of temperature variations between the lens and the encompassing air below some particular person atmosphere. That is extra frequent in conditions the place ambient temperature switches quickly from excessive temperature to low temperature, lengthy publicity to excessive temperature with excessive humidity, or water harm.”
“Should you expertise lens fog, we suggest you permit your system in a dry space with airflow to assist alleviate moisture.”
Xiaomi’s answer to make use of the system in a dry space does not do something; I obtained a defective OnePlus Nord 2 that had the same problem with the within of the digital camera lens fogging up, and it doesn’t matter what I did, it will return after a couple of days. The one factor that labored was getting a brand new unit.
Should you purchased a Xiaomi 14 or 14 Extremely that has lens condensation and are attempting to get a refund due to the lens fogging up, there is a good probability it will not work — Xiaomi must acknowledge that there is a problem within the first place. However in case you’re in a position to, you need to flip within the system and get one other unit.
