Across the rangeWHY
XIAOMI

Not one headline spec - more of what customers use every day.

Rated 3500-nit peak brightness across all four models
6000-7000mAh batteries; 67-100W wired charging
A dedicated telephoto on every model; Leica colour, Portrait and Live Moment

Ask first: “What matters most - photography, telephoto, battery or a compact size?” There is a clear Xiaomi answer for each.

COMPARE
FAIRLY

“Samsung's resolution is higher.”

Acknowledge, then relate it to use: S26+ and Ultra offer QHD+. Xiaomi counters with rated 3500-nit peak brightness, bigger batteries and faster charging. Match the benefit to the customer.

“Samsung is lighter.”

Be fair, then explain the trade-off: Samsung is lighter. Xiaomi uses the extra room for 6000-7000mAh batteries, faster charging and stronger telephoto hardware for heavier daily use.

“The official battery figures look similar.”

Do not overclaim across different tests: Test methods vary. Compare capacity, charging speed, wireless charging and the customer's real routine - then demonstrate where possible.

Comparison scope: This sheet compares like-for-like slab flagships. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8 and Z Flip8 are excluded because their foldable formats serve different use cases. Cross-brand brightness, battery-life and charging claims come from each manufacturer's own tests; prioritise an in-store demonstration and the customer's needs.
