Yesterday, Xiaomi confirmed that it will announce the Xiaomi 14 series on Feb. 25 for the global market. To recall, the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro were announced in October 2023 in China. Since the company used the word “series” in the teaser for the global market, it seems that the brand may announce both phones on the mentioned date globally. However, a new report by GSMChina states that the Pro model will not be released globally. Instead of the Pro model, the company may unveil the Xiaomi 14 Ultra globally on the said date.

Shown above is the teaser image that Xiaomi released yesterday. The circular camera module shown in the image does not match the camera module design of the 14 and 14 Pro but suggests the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which is said to have a circular camera module.

According to the above-mentioned publication, the URL of this page, which has the countdown for the Xiaomi 14 series, mentions “N1N3,” which is nothing but internal model numbers. For those who don’t know, the Xiaomi 14, 14 Pro, and 14 Ultra have internal model codes N1, N2, and N3, respectively.

Since only N1 and N3 are mentioned in the URL, it appears that only the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra will debut on Feb. 25. In other words, the 14 Pro may not be released globally. The 14 Pro is just a bigger version of the Xiaomi, offering a bigger display and a larger battery. The rest of the specs are almost identical on both phones. Hence, it appears that the company may have decided to skip the Pro variant and launch the 14 Ultra instead.

As it is known, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is expected to arrive with a top-notch quad-camera system pioneered by a LYT-900 50-megapixel main camera. It will also feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Readers can visit our posts on the 14 Ultra to learn about its other rumored specs.
