The handset appears to be in a protective case that covers its cameras. It appears to have a noticeable camera bump on the back with a periscope lens on the bottom right.

The images feature a white label on the back. The text ‘N1’ on the label denotes Leica-branded cameras, ‘EU’ suggests a European variant, and ‘P2’ suggests that the unit shown is a prototype used for internal testing by engineers. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Pro and Vivo X100 Pro are also shown in one of the images.
Xiaomi 14 Ultra is expected to go official in March. The device is said to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is said to have quad 50-megapixel cameras with Sony LYT900 as the primary sensor with an f/1.63 aperture. The device is said to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and may feature slightly curved displays and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner for authentication. The device is rumored to have a 5,180mAh battery with 90W wired charging support and 50W wireless charging support.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra will sit alongside the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. Both models were unveiled in China in October. The pair are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and run Xiaomi’s HyperOS UI. They feature LTPO OLED displays with up to 2K resolution and have a Leica-tuned triple camera setup on the back.
