The Xiaomi 14 series, which debuted in China last year, is finally ready to make its global debut. The company’s Indian branch has teased the launch of the Xiaomi 14 lineup on Twitter, hinting at its partnership with Leica. The Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro are expected to be the first smartphones to feature Leica-branded cameras.
The Xiaomi 14 series consists of the Xiaomi 14, the Xiaomi 14 Pro, and the yet-to-be-announced Xiaomi 14 Ultra. These smartphones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, the latest flagship processor from Qualcomm. They also run on HyperOS, the new operating system that replaces Xiaomi’s MIUI.
The Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro boast impressive specifications and features, such as 1.5K C8 LTPO OLED displays with 120Hz refresh rates, 50MP triple rear cameras with variable aperture, 32MP selfie cameras, 4,610mAh batteries with 90W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, 5G, IP68 rating, USB 3.2 Gen1, Wi-Fi 7, NFC, and under-display fingerprint sensors.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which is rumored to launch soon, is expected to have a larger display, a bigger battery, and a wider variable aperture for the primary camera. It may also have a secondary display on the back, similar to the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
The Xiaomi 14 series is also known for its competitive pricing, as the Xiaomi 14 starts from €515 / $560, while the Xiaomi 14 Pro starts from €645 / $700. However, these prices are likely to increase for the international market, due to taxes and other factors. Still, the Xiaomi 14 series is expected to be cheaper than other flagship smartphones from rival brands.
The exact launch date and availability of the Xiaomi 14 series for the global market are not yet confirmed, but it is speculated that the company will announce them at the MWC (Mobile World Conference) 2024, which will take place from February 26th to 29th, 2024. The Xiaomi 14 series may also launch in India on the same day, as per a reliable tipster1.
