Xiaomi 14 Ultra Special Edition to come with titanium alloy frame: report
Xiaomi will be holding its Xiaomi 14 series global launch event on February 25, a day before the Mobile World Congress (MWC) kicks off in Barcelona. The event is expected to see the release of the much-awaited Xiaomi 14 Ultra. While the brand is yet to officially confirm the phone’s existence, a new report suggests that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be offered in a special Titanium edition. In China, Xiaomi is offering a special edition of the Xiaomi 14 Pro that features a Titanium frame and a different color, but the variant offers similar features as the standard model. Moreover, the global variant of the vanilla Xiaomi 14 has been spotted on the EMVCo website with some key details.
According to a report by 91Mobiles, Xiaomi is preparing a Titanium special edition for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. The standard variants of the handset will reportedly feature metal frames to keep the pricing competitive. Apple and Samsung have used Titanium for their latest iPhone 15 Pro models and Galaxy S24 Ultra. Last year’s Xiaomi 14 Pro was also offered in a Titanium Edition with a matte titanium alloy side.
Furthermore, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is said to be available in three storage variants in China — 12GB + 256GB, 16GB + 512GB, 16GB + 1TB.
Separately, the Xiaomi 14 global variant was spotted on the EMVCo certification website. The listing suggests that the handset will come with Android 14-based HyperOS 1.0 and NFC support.
The global launch of the Xiaomi 14 series will take place on February 25 in Barcelona. The Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro devices were launched in China in October with a starting price of CNY 3,999 (approximately Rs. 50,000) and CNY 4,999 (approximately Rs. 56,500), respectively.
The Xiaomi 14 series is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and has a HyperOS interface. They feature LTPO OLED displays with up to 2K resolution and a 120Hz dynamic refresh rate.
