Xiaomi 14 SE launching soon in India: Details
Xiaomi put its best foot forward and recently launched not one but two of its latest flagship smartphones in India. The brand announced the premium Xiaomi 14 and also its Xiaomi 14 Ultra, a high-end camera-focused phone. Both the smartphones also feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoCs and also come equipped with the latest camera hardware. However, it seems Xiaomi isn’t done with launching its premium smartphone just yet as a tipster has now leaked information about yet another premium smartphone from the Chinese brand.
Labeled as the Xiaomi 14 SE, the phone could be positioned among Xiaomi’s current premium offerings in India. The information comes from tipster Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) who wrote in a after on X hinted that this upcoming smartphone from Xiaomi could be called the Xiaomi 14 SE, but also states that he didn’t have any further details (regarding specs) about it. He then claims that this device will launch in India in June 2024 and could be a rebranded version of the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro.
We had previously reported that Xiaomi could launch its Civi 4 Pro in India as Xiaomi 14 Civi. Apart from the above information and the new source, there is no other evidence that this phone even exists, so we request our readers to take this information with a pinch of salt.
As for the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, we know it exists because it was launched in China back in March. The phone was one of the first devices to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, but features a design language that’s very different from Xiaomi’s premium numbered series devices, which in India currently includes the Xiaomi 14 and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
The Civi 4 Pro features a 6.55-inch full-HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. This display is rated to deliver up to 3,000 nits peak brightness. The phone has dual 32-megapixel cameras on the front and triple-camera setup on the rear with Leica branding. There’s a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera with a 120-degree field of view.
Xiaomi’s Civi 4 Pro is backed by a 4,700mAh battery and supports only 67W wired charging. As for software, it runs Xiaomi’s new HyperOS software out-of-the-box which is based on Android 14. The handset comes in two storage variants with 12GB of RAM that are priced starting at CNY 2,999 (roughly Rs. 35,000). The handset went on sale in China on March 26, 2024.
