Xiaomi launched its flagship Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro smartphones back in October. They were the first device to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and although that title has been taken by iQOO 12 for the global market, excitement for the Xiaomi 14 series is still high. But a new report suggests that the Xiaomi 14 Pro might be skipping the global launch, and only the standard 14 is expected to hit global markets in January.
Details on Xiaomi 14 Pro global launch
This clue comes from Xiaomi’s software development, spotted by eagle-eyed folks at Xiaomiui. The report suggests while Xiaomi is actively working on the global version of the new HyperOS for the Xiaomi 14, there’s no such activity for the Pro model.
The latest internal test build for the 14’s HyperOS dates back two months, further suggesting the Pro might be getting the cold shoulder.
It’s important to remember this is just based on software development, and things could change when Xiaomi officially announces the 14 series globally next year. There’s also a rumor that instead of the Pro, Xiaomi might be focusing on a new “Ultra” model to sit alongside the 14. But for now, take this with a grain of salt.
The standard 14 still packs a punch. It boasts a large 6.36-inch OLED display with vibrant colors (thanks to 12-bit depth), a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and incredible brightness up to 3000 nits. The phone packs the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage for all your needs.
Around the back, you get a triple camera system featuring a 50MP main sensor with image stabilization, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP telephoto lens for bringing distant objects closer. The main camera’s aperture also adjusts automatically from f/1.6 to f/2.2 for ideal lighting in any situation. On the front, you get a 32MP camera for selfies and video calls.
The 4,610mAh battery delivers lasting power, while the phone supports fast charging options: 90W wired, 50W wireless, and even 10W reverse wireless charging.
