Xiaomi 14 Ultra launch date announced, camera specs surfaced online
Xiaomi 14 Ultra is expected to get unveiled soon. The model will likely join the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro that were unveiled in October 2023. These devices are expected to see a global launch at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 running from February 26 to 29 in Barcelona. The top-end Ultra model could get launched alongside the other Xiaomi 14 models at the same event. Several leaks and reports in the past few months have suggested various key features of the alleged flagship phone. The latest leak also hints at the launch timeline and some of the camera specs of the device.
Tipster Fixed Focus Digital (translated from Chinese) claimed in a Weibo after that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is expected to launch in February. The timeline coincides with the MWC 2024 event, which has historically seen major launches from various smartphone makers. Therefore, it is likely that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which is expected to succeed the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, will be unveiled at a Xiaomi event during MWC 2024. The Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro models, which have only launched in China so far, are also likely to launch globally at the same time.
The tipster added that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s primary rear camera could support a variable aperture between f/1.63 and f/4.0. Previous leaks have suggested that the phone could feature a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-900 sensor with f/1.6 lens as part of its primary camera setup. The rumored quad rear camera system of the handset is also said to include a 120mm periscope telephoto shooter and a Vario-Summilux 1:1.63-2.5/12-120 aspherical (ASPH) lens.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is also said to come with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, a 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, and a 5,180mAh battery with 90W wired and 50W wireless charging support. For security, the phone could also feature an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. Like other Xiaomi 14 handsets, the Ultra model is also likely to come with the company’s new HyperOS skin on top of Android 14.
Notably, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra features a Leica-tuned quad-camera system on the back, which includes a 50-megapixel 1-inch IMX989 primary sensor, alongside three 50-megapixel IMX858 sensors. The front-facing camera on the handset uses a 32-megapixel sensor.
