The leaker Digital Chat Station posted a number of alleged characteristics on Weibo Xiaomi 14 Ultraa future high-end smartphone from a well-known brand of Chinese origin, among which a rather deep redesign and an increase in price compared to the current generation stand out due to a significant improvement of the cameras located on the back.

This is not the first time that Digital Chat Station has published about the configuration of the rear camera, as on a previous occasion it stated that it will consist of four sensors, all of which will support a native resolution of 50 megapixels. As it could not be otherwise and following the line of Xiaomi in recent years, this configuration of the rear camera will bear the signature of Leica, which has proven itself in the photographic sector.

However, Improving the configuration of the rear camera will not be freebut if what the Digital Chat Station says is confirmed, will result in an increase in the price of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra over the current Xiaomi 13 Ultra. The total price of the BOM seems to have increased by 700 yuan, which would be about 98 US dollars. Additionally, the new rear camera configuration suggests that it forces adjustments on other fronts, such as the smartphone’s battery.

The rest of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s features remain a mystery (as well as the device as a whole, all told). For now, it is speculated to use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, 12GB of RAM, a fingerprint sensor, high-definition audio, Dolby Atmos, certified water and dust resistance, and a 4,860mAh battery that would support fast wired charging. up to 120 watts and up to 50 watts of wireless charging. The screen would be a 2.5D, 6.6-inch, AMOLED type, with a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz and a perforation in the upper middle part where the front camera would be located.

Despite the possible increase in the price of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, it is possible that in the end it will still be cheaper than rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, especially when we consider that high-end smartphones have long been somewhat prohibitively expensive. and that doesn’t make them suitable for most, especially since it is a device with a high probability of accidents.
