The global launch date of Xiaomi’s 14 series, which will come in three variants—standard, Pro, and Ultra—has been formally confirmed by the company. On February 25, every model will hit the international market. According to tipster Abhishek Yadav, the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra will soon be available in India. The tipster also states that 1 lakh units of the Ultra model will go on sale first, though the company has not confirmed this. Let me start by telling you that these phones are already available in China, so we are aware of the potential features of the devices before looking at the specifications and anticipated costs.
Xiaomi 14 series: what to expect
The Xiaomi 14 series launch date poster, which is displayed above, has a ring-like design that appears to match the 14 Ultra’s rumoured round camera module. The URL of the teaser for the Xiaomi 14 series is another piece of evidence indicating the Ultra model’s February 25 launch date. “N1N3” is mentioned in the URL; these are allegedly the internal model numbers of the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra.
The internal model number of the Xiaomi 14 Pro is “N2,” however the URL makes no mention of it. Therefore, according to GSMChina, which emphasised this fact, the 14 Pro might not launch internationally. Therefore, it seems that markets outside of China will see the release of the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra.
Xiaomi 14 Ultra specifications (rumoured)
A 2K AMOLED screen with support for a 120Hz refresh rate and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor are reportedly features of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. It will operate on Android 14 based on HyperOS. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage will be found within the device’s hardware. The 14 Ultra will sport a 32-megapixel front camera and a quad-camera configuration on the back, with a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-900 primary camera with variable aperture support and OIS enabled. The IP68-rated gadget is probably going to have a 5,300mAh battery that can be charged with both 50W wireless and 90W wired charging.
Xiaomi 14 Specifications
Expect the specs to be comparable to those of the Chinese models. The most recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset is found inside the Xiaomi 14 series. Up to an incredible 16GB of RAM and UFS 4.0 storage are available on the devices. The smartphones also claim to be dust- and water-resistant with an IP68 rating. The Android 14 OS comes pre-installed on them.
The Xiaomi 14 Pro has a somewhat larger 6.73-inch screen than the Xiaomi 14, which has a 6.36-inch screen. Both versions have a 120Hz AMOLED panel with a maximum brightness of 3000nits and a sleek design. Even though this is not the highest in the sector, a fantastic experience is still anticipated from the panel.
Both phones are anticipated to provide an excellent photography experience, similar to the previous models, thanks to their equipped 50-megapixel primary camera that houses a ‘Light Hunter 900’ sensor with a custom Leica Summilux lens. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 14 has a fixed aperture while the Pro model has a variable aperture. Users will also be able to see a 32-megapixel selfie shooter, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 50-megapixel telephoto sensor.
The Xiaomi 14 Pro model boasts a slightly larger 4,880mAh battery with 120W fast charging capabilities, compared to the 4,610mAh battery found in the standard model. Additionally, 10W reverse wireless charging and 50W wireless charging are supported by both models.
The Xiaomi 14 is anticipated to retail for roughly Rs 50,000, with pricing similar to that of the previous year. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 14 Pro, which appeals to customers desiring superior performance and cutting-edge features, might fetch a price tag of about Rs 80,000.
