The Xiaomi 14 has just surfaced on X, in a hands-on video. The black variant of the device is shown here, and this leak comes at the very last minute, as the launch event is scheduled for later today.
The Xiaomi 14 series event will kick off at 1 PM CET / noon BST / 7 AM EST / 4 AM PST. The devices will launch in China, while the global launch event will follow later on. We still don’t know when exactly.
The Xiaomi 14 just appeared in a hands-on video, hours before its launch
In any case, if you’d like to take a closer look at the phone that leaked, the video is embedded below. It was shared by Revegnus, a tipster. You can clearly see the device here, from all angles, and this seems to be the vanilla model, not the ‘Pro’ variant.

The Xiaomi 14 will basically look the same as the Xiaomi 14 Pro, but it will be smaller. A 6.36-inch display is expected on this device, while the Xiaomi 14 Pro’s display will measure around 6.7 inches.
The bezels are thin, and the camera island has a square shape
It’s clear that the phone has flat sides, and a flat display. A display camera hole sits at the top, and it’s centered. The bezels are quite thin (although thicker than initially reported), and the camera island on the back is rectangular. Leica branding is easily visible here too.
Considering that this video is not exactly of the highest quality, we’re not sure what material is Xiaomi using on the back. It’s either matt glass or vegan leather, though it seems to be the latter. The good news is that this model won’t have a reflective backplate.
In addition to this hands-on leak, Xiaomi also shared more official images of the device. If you check out the gallery below, you’ll be able to see black and pink Xiaomi 14 models. The green and white variants surfaced recently too.
We’ll get a lot more information later today, once Xiaomi makes the devices official.
