Samsung has the advantage of the S Pen, Samsung Dex and a reputable brand name with valuable resale value. However, I've been a long-time user of Xiaomi as my secondary phone. This time around, I've decided to make the Xiaomi 14 Pro my primary phone, opting out of the iPhone 14 PM. Well done, Xiaomi.

There is no significant difference between them in most aspects. The only slight difference is in the battery. I choose the Xiaomi 14 Pro.
