Lu Weibing, partner and president at Xiaomi Corporation stated on a Weibo post yesterday stating that the success of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in the international market is very important for the company regarding its establishment in such markets.

On the first day of sale on February 27, Lu Weibing said that the first sales volume of Xiaomi 14 Ultra in Europe tripled compared to the previous generation. At the same time, the Xiaomi 14 achieved six times higher sales compared to its predecessor.

Notably, the €1,499 Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which is equivalent to 11,600 Yuan in China, comes with a 16GB + 512GB configuration. This is significantly higher as compared to the Chinese market.
