Xiaomi is reportedly set to unveil the highly anticipated Xiaomi 14 series smartphones in China. Industry reports suggest that these devices, expected to hit the market in November, will be powered by Qualcomm’s forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, which may debut in October this year. Notably, the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro are rumored to feature periscope zoom cameras, alongside the previously announced Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Periscope zoom capabilities offer users enhanced optical zoom capabilities, enabling them to capture distant subjects with precision.
According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi 14 Pro’s periscope telephoto camera will offer 5x optical zoom with an impressive 115mm focal length. Meanwhile, its sibling, the Xiaomi 14, will have a periscope telephoto camera with 3.9x optical zoom and a shorter 90mm focal length. The leaker did not share any other information on the cameras in the Xiaomi 14 lineup.
Previous reports have claimed that, like the Xiaomi 13 Pro, its successor will have three 50-megapixel cameras on its back. It is rumored to include a 50-megapixel primary sensor, an ultra-wide lens, and a zoom camera. There is no information on the camera setup of the Xiaomi 14. As per reports, the front-facing camera of the Xiaomi 14 Pro will support 4K video recording, promising high-quality selfies and video calls.
Rumors have also circulated regarding the Xiaomi 14 Pro’s display options, suggesting the possibility of both flat and curved-edge display variants. Powering these variants will be sizable batteries, with both models expected to feature a 5,000mAh capacity. Furthermore, charging capabilities will differ between the models, with the Xiaomi 14 supporting up to 90W charging and the Pro variant potentially offering even faster 120W charging speeds.
