Xiaomi has been striving to offer a premium, ultra-flagship experience for the past few years, and with the Xiaomi 14 series, the company is ever closer to fulfilling this dream. Today, the Xiaomi 14 series was unveiled in China, giving us a glimpse of what we can expect from the brand and its nex-gen flagship phones.
The Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro are both packed full of hardware and software features and surely push the flagship boundary. These two models look great on paper, and they have the potential to give Samsung and Apple a serious run for their money, but we have to test both phones when they launch globally to know for sure what's what. Meanwhile, let's take a look at the key features of the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro, revealed at today's event in Bejing.
120W wired HyperCharge and 50W wireless HyperCharge
The display and the camera system of the Xiaomi 14 Pro both spark interest. Xiaomi has equipped the Pro version with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display capable of delivering up to 3000 nits of peak brightness. Furthermore, this display uses LTPO technology and can go from 1Hz to 120Hz with everything in between. There's DC dimming and TUV-certified 1920Hz PWM dimming to reduce eye-strain.
The camera system holds another surprise: a variable aperture allowing ƒ/1.42 - ƒ/4.0 range, something we already saw on the Huawei Mate 50 Pro and P60 Pro. The official info regarding the full camera specs is rather scarce at the moment, but various sources pointed toward a 50MP 1/1.31" main sensor with a 2.4-micron pixel size.
The Xiaomi 14 Pro sports 120W wired and 50W wireless fast charging (this could be limited in regions outside China) and a 4880mAh battery. The phone will launch with Xiaomi's new HyperOS; stay tuned for a detailed article about this interesting piece of software soon.
The vanilla Xiaomi 14, on the other hand, features a smaller 6.4-inch AMOLED screen with 460 ppi and the same 1-120 Hz variable refresh rate, coupled with the aforementioned 3000-nit peak brightness from its bigger sibling.
The smaller model has a 50MP main sensor with an f/1.6 aperture and a 1/1.3 sensor size, coupled with Leica Summix optics. The ultra-wide-angle camera has been upgraded to 50 MP, and it now includes the highly regarded Leica 75mm floating telephoto lens, which can focus from 10cm to infinity.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is on board of this model as well. The vanilla Xiaomi 14 comes with a slightly smaller 4610mAh battery, supporting the same 120W fast-wired and 50W wireless charging. The vanilla Xiaomi 14 will be available in Jade Green, Black, White, and Snow Mountain Pink (this one could be limited to China), and the Xiaomi 14 Pro has a titanium version, so the iPhone 15 will have some competition in that regard.
We don't have any information about the potential global release of the Xiaomi 13 series, but judging from previous launches, we're looking at a couple of weeks before we see these phones around the world.
