The official premiere of the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro smartphones is expected to take place on October 27, but orders for these new products have already started to be accepted in China. Now if you make a deposit of 100 yuan (about $15), you can get the smartphone on the first day of sales.

Orders are accepted blindly because neither the specifications nor the cost have been officially announced. However, if people are disappointed after the premiere, the money will be refunded. It is interesting that the order is accepted by retail outlets, and not by online stores as usual.

Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro will be among the first smartphones in the world to be based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 single-chip system, but there is something much more interesting: they will be the first Xiaomi devices without an MIUI shell in 13 years. Instead, the newest operating system Xiaomi HyperOS will be used. Lei Jun, the company’s president, showed Xiaomi 14 with the screen protector of the new operating system today.
