Xiaomi continues to expand its product line. Almost every week, the company introduces several new models, offering a broad product range that caters to nearly every user. However, no matter what the Chinese tech giant unveils lately, the tech enthusiasts are primarily focused on one model: the upcoming Xiaomi 14 Pro.

Although there have been numerous leaks about the phone expected to be released by the end of the year, there wasn’t much definitive information. Thankfully, this changed when the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro case reached the hands of the Gizmochina team. Here’s everything known about the design of the upcoming flagship…

Xiaomi 14 Pro Case Leak Reveals New Design Details

As you may know, the leaking of smartphone cases before their release has become a tradition. The main reason for this is that dummy models of the devices are sent to manufacturers long before they are introduced. This way, by the time of release, users worldwide can purchase their desired cases to protect their phones. Most recently, the case for the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro was obtained by the Gizmochina team.

When we first look at the case, we notice that the design language of the Xiaomi 14 series seems very similar to the 13 series. As always, there will be a full screen on the front. The back design, which has seen changes in recent years, will have a camera module in the top left corner. Additionally, we see four camera holes in the case. Last year’s model only had three cameras. This year, the number could increase to four, or that space might be left empty for the Leica logo again.

Moreover, that’s not the only change on the camera side. The island that houses the modules takes up a larger area and is likely to be a bit thicker. Based on this, we can say that we can expect significant changes in camera performance. Aside from that, the size of the Xiaomi 14 Pro seems to be a bit smaller than the 13 Pro. Also, judging by the case, we can say that the series is likely to have a flat and sharper design.

Unfortunately, not everything about the Xiaomi 14 series is positive, and the two models differ significantly in one aspect. Based on the cases, we can say that the Xiaomi 14 Pro has dual speakers on the frame, while the 14 standard might use the calling speaker in conjunction with a bottom speaker to achieve stereo sound. Of course, this is better than having a true single speaker. However, it’s possible to say that this is a downgrade compared to the dual speakers in previous models. Sadly, that’s all we know for now, and we have no choice but to wait for more information.

The expected specs for the Xiaomi 14 series:

Recent Xiaomi flagships have all arrived with impressive camera hardware, and when paired with Leica tuning, they become hard to beat. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra and Xiaomi 13 Pro serve as the latest examples of what the Chinese company is capable of. Now, rumors about the next number series have started to pick up and the latest one claims the Pro model— Xiaomi 14 Pro— will get a notable camera upgrade compared to its predecessor.

Xiaomi 14 Pro could bring a 50MP Periscope Telephoto lens

Xiaomi 13 Ultra (Review) has made its debut in China, and a global launch is still awaited. Meanwhile, rumors of the upcoming Xiaomi 14 Pro have started to emerge, with tipster Digital Chat Station revealing one interesting detail. They claim the smartphone will come equipped with a 50MP Periscope telephoto lens. Presumably, it will utilize the same sensor that was seen on the 13 Ultra, which has an incredibly wide coverage of 122 degrees and corresponds to approximately a 12mm equivalent focal length on a full-frame camera.

To remind you, the Xiaomi 13 Pro (full review) relies on a triple Leica-tuned camera setup with a 50MP main camera featuring a 1″ Sony sensor. The ultrawide unit also has a 50MP sensor, as does the telephoto shooter. The sensor on the telephoto camera has a 75mm lens, enabling 3.2x optical zoom and macro photography.

The working principle of the telephoto camera in the upcoming Xiaomi 14 Pro is said to be borrowed from the periscope design, which alters the path of light propagation. In simpler terms, the light initially enters the mirror and undergoes folding before reaching the camera’s sensor. This design allows the sensor to be positioned at a different level than the lens, satisfying the zoom requirements while preventing excessive protrusion of the phone’s lens.
