First off, the display. Reliable tipster Ice Universe has leaked the possible renders of Xiaomi and 14 Pro’s screen. And it looks like Xiaomi has managed to trim down the already thin bezels of the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro. Especially at the top and bottom.
Performance
According to rumors, the next Xiaomi flagships will be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon Gen 3. This chip is scheduled to come out later in October, and the Xiaomi 14 lineup will probably be one of the first phones to use 8 Gen 3.
Other than this, these Xiaomi phones will also bear a faster USB 3.2 (Type-C, of course) protocol, which will also be able to connect up to a 4K external display. In the Xiaomi 13 lineup, only the Xiaomi 13 Ultra brings a USB 3.2 Type-C port while the rest of the phones equip a slower USB 2.0 Type-C connection.
Cameras
Xiaomi 13 Pro
Xiaomi 14 series is also rumored to introduce significant improvements in the camera department. Reports suggest that the Xiaomi 14 family will finally bring a 4K selfie video recording option. To note, no other Xiaomi phone so far (except the newly launched Xiaomi Civi 3) can record 4K videos from the front camera.
On top of this, the Xiaomi 14 duo will also sport periscope zoom cameras. Yes, you read that right. The vanilla Xiaomi 14’s periscope camera will have a 90mm focal length and a 3.9x optical zoom, while the Pro model gets a 115mm sensor with 5x optical zoom. Likewise, the Xiaomi 14 Pro is expected to feature a trio of 50MP sensors at the back. Just like its predecessor.
Battery
As for the battery, both phones are rumored to bring a big 5000mAh cell, although they could differ in terms of charging speed. With the regular Xiaomi 14 accepting up to 90W of power, compared to Xiaomi 14 Pro’s 120W fast charging speed.
Xiaomi 14 Series Launch and Availability
Besides all this, the model numbers of upcoming Xiaomi flagships have leaked as well. Xiaomi 14 goes by “23127PN0CC” in China and “23127PN0CG” in the global market, whereas the Xiaomi 14 Pro’s respective model numbers are “23116PN5BC” and “23116PN5BG”. There isn’t much information about the Ultra variant yet, so it’ll likely launch sometime after the other two. We expect Xiaomi 14 lineup to launch in China between Q4 2023 and Q1 2024.
