In a deleted Weibo post yesterday, Chinese tech influencer, Chen Zhen, went to the Chinese social media site Weibo to share two cryptic photos showing the weight of an unannounced Android smartphone that will be launching soon in China. Based on the influencer’s post history, it can be assumed that this is supposedly one of the Xiaomi 14 devices, most likely the standard Xiaomi 14. 

The influencer was also one of the culprits last year who leaked details of the Xiaomi 13 flagship days before the launch. As for the deleted Weibo post, it shows that the upcoming device will be available in two weight options: 199.2 g and 194.2 g, supposedly hinting that the device will be available in a PU leather back option and a ceramic glass back option like last year’s Xiaomi 13.

For a comparison of the weights of the upcoming Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 13, we created a table below showing the weight difference.

As shown above, the Xiaomi 14 is heavier than the Xiaomi 13 by about 10 grams. The increased premium heft in weight could be due to a larger camera sensor, a bigger battery or probably the Leica Summilux lens added to the device. Or it could be all of the above and maybe some extra features that will add weight to the build.
