Xiaomi 14 Ultra has recently received a major upgrade as the transition from 5G to 6G is slowly starting and now features 5.5G (5G-A) technology. We previously said that Xiaomi 14 Ultra reaches 5 Gbps mobile data speeds using 5.5G technology. However, 5.5G was only commercially available without an official system update from Xiaomi.

Xiaomi is releasing a system update that enables 5.5G on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra

The latest system update for Xiaomi 14 Ultra includes 5.5G technology on the 527MB device and is marked with the operating system version number 1.0.9.0 UMACNXM. Previously, China Mobile announced the 5.5G mobile network speed test for Xiaomi 14 Ultra, reaching a download speed of 5132.43 Mbps. Chinese OEMs seem to be focusing on 5.5G technology not only in the Xiaomi 14 Ultra but also in the OPPO Find X7 Ultra, and some vivo phones now support 5.5G.

China is one of the first countries to adopt 5.5G technology; Unless you live in China, it is unlikely that you will have such crazy mobile network speed on your Xiaomi 14 Ultra. It is also worth noting that 5.5G is a new technology and the 5Gbps download speed of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra does not reflect its full potential.

5.5G technology will offer millisecond latency and reach 10 Gbps download speeds with 1 Gbps download speed on mobile devices. While the 5Gbps download speed of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is impressive so far, it’s clear that the technology still needs time to deliver even higher speeds.
