What we know so far
Xiaomi is expected to launch its next flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, in early 2024. The device will be the successor to the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, which was one of the most powerful and feature-packed phones of 2023. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is rumored to bring some major upgrades and improvements over its predecessor, such as a new chipset, a new camera sensor, and a new design. Here are some of the key details that have been leaked or speculated about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra so far.
Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra will likely be one of the first smartphones to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which is the next-generation flagship SoC from Qualcomm. The chipset was announced in late October at a dedicated event held in Maui, Hawaii. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 featured a new 1+3+2+2 core architecture with a Cortex-X4 prime core alongside 3x Cortex-A720 cores @3.2ghz, 2x Cortex-A720 cores @3.0ghz and 2x Cortex-A520 cores @2.3ghz. The GPU side was covered by the Adreno 750, which offered some noticeable performance gains.
Battery and charging: 5,000 mAh and 120W
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is said to feature a same battery of Xiaomi 13 Ultra. The phone is rumored to have a 5,000 mAh battery with 120W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging. This means that the phone could be fully charged in less than 20 minutes with a wired charger, and in less than an hour with a wireless charger. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra already had impressive charging speeds, but the Xiaomi 14 Ultra could take it to the next level.
Camera: 1-inch sensor and 200MP periscope zoom
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra had a remarkable camera setup, with a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide sensor, a 200MP telephoto lens, and a 32MP selfie sensor. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is rumored to improve on that, with a 1-inch camera sensor for the main camera, which is 50MP Sony 1′ LYTIA 900. This would be the largest sensor ever used in a smartphone to date, and it could offer superior low-light performance, dynamic range, and detail. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is also rumored to feature a 200MP Ultra High Pixel Periscopes/Dual Periscopes zoom camera. The ultra-wide and selfie cameras are expected to remain the same as the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
Design: Leather back and a aluminum alloy frame
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra had a premium design, with a eco leather back and a aluminum frame. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is rumored to be arriving with the same leather back panel, which could offer a sleek and sophisticated look, adding a touch of elegance to the device. Leather back finishes are known for premium looking and sophisticated design, making them an ideal choice for those who prioritize longevity and aesthetics. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is also expected to have a curved display, a punch-hole cutout, and in-display fingerprint scanner.
Software: HyperOS
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra ran on MIUI 14 which was based on Android 13. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is expected to run on HyperOS, which is Xiaomi’s new unified software solution. HyperOS is expected to be a leaner and cleaner version of MIUI, with less bloatware, more customization options, and faster updates. HyperOS is also expected to offer four years of OS updates and five years of security updates, which is a significant improvement over MIUI’s update policy.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is shaping up to be a beast of a smartphone, with some of the best specs and features in the market. The device is expected to launch in China in January 2024, and in other regions in February 2024. The price of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is not yet known, but it could be similar to the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, which started at $1,199. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra could be a strong contender for the best smartphone of 2024, and we can’t wait to see it in action.
