The Xiaomi 14 Ultra could include a major design boost and an under-display camera. Now, that may not be the best thing for the quality of the selfie camera, but it is for the look of the phone as a whole.
One of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra models could include an under-display camera
This report comes from GSMChina, not your usual tipsters from China, so take it with a grain of salt. According to the report, Xiaomi will actually ship two different versions of the phone. One will have a regular hole punch with a selfie camera, and the other will pack an under-display unit.
Why would Xiaomi do something like that? Well, we have no idea, and we can only guess, the same as you. Based on this report, the version with the standard camera has codenames ‘aurora’ and ‘aurorapro’, while the version with an under-display camera is known as ‘Xiaomi Suiren’.
What’s interesting is that a device with the ‘Suiren’ name was spotted on Geekbench recently. The listing revealed that the device is fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. So, it’s definitely flagship-grade.
The ‘Xiaomi Suiren’ was initially believed to be the Xiaomi MIX 5
Some outlets suggested that the ‘Suiren’ could be the Xiaomi MIX 5. Well, GSMChina believes the opposite, as this could be one of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra models. Is that odd, especially considering the difference in codenames? Yes, but we’ll have to wait and see what’s true and what’s not.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is coming, likely in early Q2 this year. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra arrived in April, so the Xiaomi 14 Ultra could as well. It’s actually tipped to arrive alongside the Xiaomi Pad 7.
That smartphone is tipped to utilize Sony’s LYT-900 camera sensor, the same unit the OPPO Find X7 Ultra is using. Xiaomi will also throw a variable aperture on top of that sensor. A 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera are also tipped.
A two-way satellite communication could also be a part of the package. A 5,180mAh battery is tipped as well, and the same goes for 90W wired, and 50W wireless charging.
