The more mainstream offering from the Chinese electronics giant is the Xiaomi 14. This one chases a palm-friendly form factor, thanks to a 6.37-inch (2670×1200 pixels) OLED Panel with a 120Hz refresh and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. This one also relies on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, but dials down the base RAM and storage capacity to 12GB and 256GB, respectively. The lights are kept on by a 4,610mAh battery that is ready for 90W fast charging (0-100% in 31 minutes) and 50W wireless charging.
Xiaomi 14’s imaging hardware is led by a 50-megapixel optically stabilized Light Fusion 900 image sensor, with Leica photo styles in tow. The zoom and ultrawide cameras also employ a 50-megapixel sensor. Notably, dedicated night mode and full-res, non-pixel-binned capture facilities are available across all three cameras.

The phone also embraces the latest Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless connectivity standards, supports reverse wireless charging, and comes in a trio of colors — black, white, and jade green. Notably, both the Xiaomi 14 series phones will get four assured Android version upgrades and software updates for five years. This trim, which starts at 999 euros, also comes with an IP68-certified build for dust and water resistance. Available in white and black trims, the IP68-certified Xiaomi 14 Ultra costs 1,499 euros, but neither will be making it to the U.S. market.
