Xiaomi 14 Lite Possibly Unveiled: New Model Spotted on BIS Site
Speculation Abounds: Xiaomi 14 Lite Rumored to Feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC
Rumors swirl around the imminent arrival of the Xiaomi 14 Lite in the Indian market, marking a potential addition to Xiaomi’s expanding lineup alongside the recently introduced Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra handsets. If speculations hold true, the Xiaomi 14 Lite is poised to succeed its predecessor, the Xiaomi 13 Lite, which notably did not make its debut in India.
The last Lite-branded smartphone unveiled by Xiaomi in the country was the Mi 11 Lite back in 2021. However, recent reports suggest that Xiaomi’s latest offering may soon make its way to Indian shores, with a new Xiaomi handset bearing the model number 24053PY09I purportedly spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) certification website, fueling anticipation for the Xiaomi 14 Lite’s impending launch.
According to a report by MySmartPrice, the appearance of the Xiaomi 14 Lite on the BIS certification website hints at its impending arrival in the Indian market. The report speculates that the device could potentially be a rebranded version of another anticipated handset, the Xiaomi Civi 4. Notably, the Xiaomi Civi 4 is expected to succeed the Xiaomi Civi 3 and is slated for launch in China in the near future. Recent sightings of the Xiaomi Civi 4 on the MIIT certification site under the model number 24053PY09C further bolster speculations regarding its global release, potentially under the guise of the Xiaomi 14 Lite.
Given Xiaomi’s track record of rebranding Civi models as Lite variants for global markets, the parallels between the purported Xiaomi 14 Lite and the Xiaomi Civi 4 are striking. With minor adjustments likely to accompany its global launch, the Xiaomi 14 Lite holds the promise of delivering a compelling combination of features and performance tailored to the preferences of Indian consumers. As anticipation continues to build around the Xiaomi 14 Lite’s arrival, enthusiasts eagerly await further details and official confirmation from Xiaomi regarding its specifications, pricing, and availability in the Indian market.
Xiaomi 14 Lite may launch in India soon. The model is said to join the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra handsets, which were introduced in the country earlier this month. The Xiaomi 14 Lite is expected to succeed the Xiaomi 13 Lite. However, the preceding model did not see an India launch. The last smartphone with the Lite moniker that the company revealed in India was the Mi 11 Lite in 2021. However, a new Xiaomi handset has now been reportedly spotted on an Indian certification site and it is said to be the Xiaomi 14 Lite.
A MySmartPrice report claims that a new Xiaomi smartphone with the model number 24053PY09I was spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) certification website. This model could launch in the country with the moniker Xiaomi 14 Lite. The report added that it could be a rebranded version of another purported handset – the Xiaomi Civi 4.
The Xiaomi Civi 4, expected to succeed the Xiomi Civi 3, is expected to launch in China soon. It was recently spotted on the MIIT certification site with the model number 24053PY09C. Since Civi models are rebranded globally as Lite variants, the Xiaomi Civi 4 could likely launch outside China with minor adjustments, as the Xiaomi 14 Lite.
