Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro smartphones in October. But whispers of a higher-tier “Ultra” variant have been swirling for a while now. While Xiaomi hasn’t officially confirmed its existence, the device has been leaked in new hands-on images.

The photos, likely taken during an early camera test, show the phone concealed in a protective case. This obscures the overall design, but there is a noticeable camera bump with a periscope lens on the lower right side. 

The phone can be seen compared to the Xiaomi 14 Pro and Vivo X100 Pro in these images and also seems to share the frame with what looks like the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. Beyond the visible features, the most interesting details come from a white label on the phone’s back. 

It has markings “N1,” “P2,” and “EU” which offer cryptic clues. According to Xiaomiui, “N1” aligns with the expected model number for the Leica-branded flagship, further strengthening the possibility that this is indeed the 14 Ultra. “P2” suggests it’s a prototype, an early iteration not yet finalized, while “EU” hints at a potential global version intended for European markets.

While the camera module itself remains largely concealed, we can expect a familiar round design with four lenses. 

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will sport a 50MP main sensor (Sony LYT 900 with OIS) with a variable aperture. Alongside the main sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens, another 50MP periscope lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide lens are expected to complete the package. 

The leaked information also suggests a possible titanium frame upgrade for the 14 Ultra. It will replace the aluminum used in the regular 14 Pro. There are also rumors of two-way satellite communication and the phone may house a 5180mAh battery with support for 90W wired and 50W wireless charging. 

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is expected to debut with the Xiaomi Pad 7 series in April 2024.
