According to Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is reportedly ready to introduce its latest flagship models under the nicknames “Houji” and “Shennong”. These intriguing codenames are taken from Chinese mythology and mark the continuation of a cultural theme that began with the Xiaomi 13 series.

Continuing the trend of codenames in Chinese mythology

Codenames deeply rooted in agriculture in Chinese mythology suggest that the upcoming Xiaomi 14 series will focus on enriching experiences, design aesthetics and beautiful Leica images. Both “Hoji”, the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor who began cultivating crops, and the Yan Emperor “Shennung”, known for his tremendous contributions to agriculture and farming methods, are venerated figures in Chinese folklore.

The previous Xiaomi 12 series focused on Western mythology and had codenames like Zeus, Thor, and Cupid. The Xiaomi 13 series has seen a change that uses codenames like Fuxi and Nuwa, which are symbols from Chinese mythology. The upcoming Xiaomi 14 series looks set to continue this latest tradition by further strengthening the cultural bond with its core consumer base.

According to the reports, the Xiaomi 14 series will have impressive camera features. The front camera will be able to record in 4K format, providing high-resolution video calls and stunning selfies. On the back, users can expect a periscope lens with powerful zoom capabilities. Xiaomi 14 offers a periscope lens with 3.9x optical zoom and 90mm focal length, while Xiaomi 14 Pro will add it with a periscope lens that supports 5x optical zoom and 115mm focal length. These features promise an exceptional shooting experience, allowing users to capture detailed images even from afar.

Beneath its elegant exterior, the Xiaomi 14 Pro will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (SM8650) processor that provides high performance and efficient multitasking. The device will be equipped with a 5000 mAh battery that provides long-term use without sacrificing power. In addition, the Xiaomi 14 Pro will support 90W or 120W fast charging. 50W wireless charging will also be available, providing users with convenient and efficient charging methods. According to rumors, the Xiaomi 14 series may offer screen options with both straight and curved edges.
