Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the highly anticipated Xiaomi 14 Ultra in China, with a subsequent global debut scheduled for the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in Barcelona later this month. Ahead of the official unveiling, the company has provided insights into the handset’s design, color options, and key camera features. In China, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will share the spotlight with the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro, while its global launch will coincide with the introduction of the base Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro models.
A Weibo post from Xiaomi confirmed that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will make its debut in China on February 22 at 7 pm local time (4:30 pm IST), with an event page already live on the Xiaomi China website. Additionally, the handset is set to be unveiled at the MWC 2024 alongside the base and Pro models of the Xiaomi 14 series on February 25.
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun took to X (formerly known as Weibo) to announce that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be available in Black and White color variants. Notably, images shared by Jun showcase a distinct design aesthetic, featuring a prominent circular camera module on the faux-leather back panel, housing the device’s four rear camera sensors.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is confirmed to sport a 1-inch 50-megapixel LYT900 sensor with f/1.63 aperture and “a new Leica Summilux optical lens.” It will also get two telephoto cameras with 50-megapixel IMX858 sensors – with focal lengths of 75mm and 120mm paired with apertures of f/1.8 and f/2.5, respectively. The fourth rear camera is tipped to be an ultra-wide-angle shooter.
Earlier leaks have claimed that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, much like the other two models of the Xiaomi 14 series, will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and ship with Android 14-based HyperOS. It is likely to carry a 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED display and a 5,180mAh battery with 90W wired and 50W wireless charging support.
Previously, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra was tipped to be priced at EUR 1,499 (roughly Rs. 1,33,600) for its 16GB + 512GB option. The phone may also launch with configurations of 12GB + 256GB and 16GB + 1TB.
