Xiaomi 14 in Malaysia is 193g, quite heavy for a small phone. The 188g Xiaomi 14 version is pink colour which is exclusive to China only.

But if you're aiming for lightweight flagship Android, it is either Samsung Galaxy S23 (168g) and S24(167g), or last year's Xiaomi 13 (189g)

If possible, there's an upcoming lightweight flagship launching in Malaysia that I'm looking forward for its price, the Vivo V30 Pro at 188g weight and 5000mAh battery, launching on March 13 this week. The Vivo V30 Pro also has 512GB UFS 3.1 storage

Vivo is bringing their X series Zeiss collaboration down to V series and putting a proper flagship chip in the V30 Pro, so it's going to be interesting to fit its motto of thin and light.

MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ on Xiaomi 13T Pro holds up against the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on OnePlus 12R. Both processors hold up to day-to-day tasks without overheating,wuth the OnePlus 12R being slightly cooler than Xiaomi 13T Pro in temperatures. Imo the bigger differences between OnePlus 12R and Xiaomi 13T Pro are below.

OnePlus 12R
16GB+256GB RM3199
Highlights: The 5500mAh long battery life, 6.78-inch curved 1.5K OLED screen from BOE (same quality as OnePlus 12), IMX890 main camera, OxygenOS, 3 years of Android OS updates + 4 years of security updates,

Xiaomi 13T Pro
12GB+512GB RM2699
16GB+1TB RM3499
Highlights: 6.67-inch flat 144Hz OLED screen, Leica triple camera setup (with proper main, wide and telephoto), HyperOS, 4 years of Android OS updates+5 years of security updates

Both don't have wireless charging and are only on USB 2.0.

Personally I lean towards towards Xiaomi 13T Pro for the flat screen, but very envious of the exceptional battery life on OnePlus 12R

MediaTek nowadays don't have unstable connectivity issues anymore, and are on par with Qualcomm with signal quality. As long as you don't buy CN set, and only buy Malaysia local set, you don't need to worry about connectivity issue.

Pixel 6a if switch to OnePlus or Xiaomi smartphones, you will feel stranger to the OS, but you can get used to it. For Xiaomi smartphones especially, you need to remove ads after smartphone setup. I linked a guide below:

Switching from the Pixel 6a to other Androids, you will notice improved signal connectivity, improved battery life and improved third party app performance 👍
