Xiaomi announced its 2024 flagship in China. A magnificent event lies ahead of us. Xiaomi 14 Ultra This reinforces our commitment from last year with a more powerful processor and brighter display than ever before.

A familiar design, a technical mess

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra follows the same lines as its predecessor, the magnificent Xiaomi 13 Ultra, which gave us very good impressions and made a big impact in our analysis. amazing photographic bet.

Therefore the design does not change: huge circular camera module It is the clear protagonist of the tailpiece, which will be available in China both in a leather-imitating finish (black, white and grey) and in a smooth and elegant light blue colour.

Following in the footsteps of Apple and Samsung, there is also a special variant that uses titanium as the material on the edges of the case. The price increase in this edition is striking: 1000 yuan more expensive in China, about 130 euros more at the exchange rate.

The dimensions change very little and the terminal is slightly shorter, slightly wider and slightly thicker (from 9.06 to 9.2 mm). Certainly this increase in thickness probably has to do with one of the big differences in terms of hardware between last year’s model and this one: Battery capacity is between 5,000 and 5,300 mAh.

The weight remains almost the same, at 224 or 229 grams, depending on the finish of the rear. The location of the buttons and the USB-C connector at the bottom also does not change, and therefore we are faced with a clear heir to the design lines that were already successful in the previous model and intend to repeat the success in this model.

Where there are the most changes is, of course, in the technical specifications; These are everything we can expect from a Xiaomi flagship in 2024. To start with, the 6.73-inch diagonal AMOLED display has 2K resolution (3,200 x 1,440 pixels, density). 522 dpi), LPTO support from 1 to 120 Hz and best of all 3,000 nits maximum brightnessa magnificent figure.

We also have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the SoC that is once again the benchmark in high-end and super-high-end Android phones in this new season and guarantees maximum performance in all scenarios.

In China, the terminal also offers a satellite communications system, which offers an alternative to regular communications in case we are in an area with no coverage and in case of emergency.

Fast charging systems are retained in the case of wired charging, reaching 90W and charging 50% of the battery in just 12 and a half minutes, but improve further in the case of wireless charging. Supports up to 80W. With this, we can charge 50% of the battery in 20 minutes.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra is based on HyperOS based on Android 14. This evolution of MIUI is Xiaomi’s new customization layer and it has just taken its first steps but we will definitely see more developments in the coming months.

Interestingly, in this presentation in China artificial intelligence functions They certainly played a leading role in the presentation of their current rival, the Samsung Galaxy S24, for example.

Xiaomi does not seem to have a particular interest in such functions in the general area surrounding the mobile phone. Of course: Keep taking advantage of these AI options to improve your mobile phone’s photo behavior.
