Will Xiaomi 14 undercut the Galaxy S24 in Europe? Leaked prices suggest a close fight

We'll have to wait until Xiaomi's February 25 event to get confirmed pricing and more details. And speaking of details, leaked renders of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra have surfaced, revealing three color options: Black, White, and Silver. This suggests that it's possible the Silver variant could be exclusive to China, where the phone hasn't been introduced yet.

Moreover, there are speculations that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra may introduce a titanium variant alongside the standard aluminum frame, likely at a higher price point. The Xiaomi 14 series has high-end specifications, such as the cutting-edge Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset under the hood.

Specifically, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is anticipated to deliver an impressive camera experience. Its quad-camera setup is likely to include a 50-megapixel 1-inch sensor (possibly the Sony LYT-900) along with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 50-megapixel 3.2x telephoto lens, and another 50-megapixel 5x telephoto lens.

With these top-notch specs and competitive prices, the Xiaomi 14 series could become a strong competitor to the Galaxy S24 series. For reference, the 512GB Galaxy S24 Plus is priced at €1,270 (~$1,360) in Europe, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra, offering 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, comes with an asking price of around 1,569 € (~$1,690). This positions the Xiaomi 14 series as a slightly more affordable option for consumers.
