The Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro are now available in China, making this lineup the first to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in a flagship smartphone. Although the new smartphones have not yet been revealed to the international market, the China unveiling offers us a decent idea of what to anticipate from Xiaomi’s newest and best models. The Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro are priced in the premium range, as was to be expected. The camera, chipset, and display are the main areas that have changed.
The Xiaomi 14 has four microphones for audio, Dolby Atmos® dual speakers, and a USB 3.2 Gen1 5Gbps connector that can transfer data ten times faster than the previous version. For a more compact experience, we have also included a bespoke high-vibration X-axis linear motor. It works similarly to the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
The prices of smartphones in China and India may differ, but this provides us with a general indication of how much we can anticipate Xiaomi will charge for the 14 series. Up to 16GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage are available for the new Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. Based on Android 14, Xiaomi’s new HyperOS operating system is also exclusive to these two phones.
In addition, Xiaomi 14’s battery management system makes use of both a Xiaomi Surge G1 battery management processor and a Xiaomi Surge P2 charging chipset to achieve high-efficiency battery management and quick charging. The device can be fully charged fast to satisfy users’ daily needs thanks to 90W wired and 50W wireless hypercharging capabilities. It has a 4610mAh high energy density battery that provides consistent battery life.
