After being showcased at MWC 2024, Xiaomi is now gearing up to introduce the Xiaomi 14 series in India, with the vanilla variant, Xiaomi 14, slated for launch on March 7th.
Xiaomi 14 to Debut in India on March 7: Pro and Ultra Models Omitted, Featuring Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, 12 GB RAM, and 1TB Storage. Boasts 50 MP Triple Camera Setup, 32 MP Selfie Camera; Expected Price Below Rs 75,000.
At the Mobile World Congress 2024, Xiaomi unveiled its highly anticipated 2024 flagship smartphone lineup, which included the Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 14 Pro, and Xiaomi 14 Ultra models. Among these, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra garnered significant attention, particularly due to its advanced features, including a specialized photography kit. Despite the anticipation surrounding the Pro and Ultra variants, Xiaomi has confirmed that neither of these models will be released in India.
Instead, Xiaomi has decided to exclusively launch the Xiaomi 14 model in the Indian market. The launch event is scheduled for March 7, generating anticipation among Indian consumers and tech enthusiasts.
Having used the Xiaomi 14 for several days, we’ve been able to provide an early review of the smartphone, which sheds light on its key specifications. In the Indian market, the Xiaomi 14 is confirmed to be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC (System on Chip), ensuring powerful performance and efficient multitasking capabilities.
Furthermore, the Xiaomi 14 will boast up to 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, enabling smooth and seamless operation even when running multiple apps simultaneously or engaging in resource-intensive tasks such as gaming or video editing. Additionally, users can expect generous onboard storage options, with the Xiaomi 14 offering up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. This ensures ample space for storing apps, games, media files, and more, without worrying about running out of storage capacity.
The Xiaomi 14 is set to impress with its 4,610mAh battery, supported by rapid 90W wired, 50W wireless, and 10W wireless reverse charging capabilities. Moreover, it will mark the debut of HyperOS in India, following its official launch on February 29. Notably, the Xiaomi 14 will be the first smartphone in India to feature this operating system, paving the way for a unique user experience. Previously, the Poco X6 Pro was the pioneer device to introduce HyperOS in India, underscoring the tech evolution in the Indian smartphone market.
Boasting a stunning 6.36-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display, the Xiaomi 14 offers a fluid user experience with its up to 120 Hz refresh rate and remarkable peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits.
The most notable upgrades on the Xiaomi 14 lie within its camera capabilities. The device features a formidable 50 MP triple camera setup, comprising a 50-megapixel Hunter 900 sensor equipped with optical image stabilization, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera, and an additional 50-megapixel sensor paired with an ultra-wide-angle lens. For capturing stunning selfies, the Xiaomi 14 is equipped with a high-resolution 32-megapixel front-facing camera.
While the pricing details of the Xiaomi 14 remain undisclosed, anticipation is high for a competitive price point. Based on available information and market trends, it’s anticipated that the Xiaomi 14 will be competitively priced and positioned below the Rs 75,000 mark, making it an attractive option for discerning consumers seeking high-end smartphone features at a compelling value proposition.
Our colleague, currently at the Mobile World Congress 2024, had the chance to experience the Xiaomi 14 Ultra firsthand and describes it as “interesting.” Despite its appeal, Xiaomi has confirmed no immediate plans for its release. Expressing regret for Indian photography enthusiasts, our colleague notes that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, with its captivating features, won’t be making its way to the Indian market anytime soon.
