Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition gets expensive as it now supports satellite communication

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 17:00:22 +0000

A few months back, the Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition was announced in China. This version of the handset arrives in a single 16GB + 1TB memory configuration priced at ¥6,499.

Today, the company unveiled an upgraded version of this device alongside the Xiaomi 14 Ultra Titanium Special Edition. The new variant is slightly more expensive as it offers support for satellite communication.

Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition Satellite Communication is the official name of the latest version. This model carries a price tag of ¥6,999, which makes it ¥500 costlier than the regular titanium variant.

The latest variant replaces the older non-satellite model, which was only sold in limited quantities due to poor yield despite being in high demand.

People who are still interested in the titanium variant of the Xiaomi 14 Pro can now opt for the updated version, which allows them to communicate via satellites in the event of an emergency. However, the company did not reveal availability details.

On the other hand, the first sale of Xiaomi 14 Ultra Titanium Special Edition is scheduled for 10 AM (local time) on March 12. It is priced at ¥8,799 and also comes with 16GB RAM and 1TB storage.

Unlike the Xiaomi 14 Pro, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be available in global markets. It will be announced internationally on February 25 ahead of the MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2024.

Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition facing production challenges due to high demand

The Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition, a high-end addition to the Xiaomi 14 series, has been launched with a retail price of 6,499 yuan ($907). This new model has garnered significant consumer interest, leading to its scarcity in the market and subsequent price inflation by scalpers in secondary markets. Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun, has acknowledged the high demand and has assured that efforts are underway to ramp up production.

Xiaomi Ramps Up Efforts to Meet Surging Demand for the Premium 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition

Lei Jun has highlighted the challenges of working with titanium due to its high cost and complexity in processing, which contributes to the slower production rates. The difficulty in manufacturing is compounded by the high standards set for the titanium used in the Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition, which boasts a 99% purity level. This meticulous attention to material quality is part of what makes the phone particularly resistant to fingerprint marks, a feature that positions it favorably against competitors like the iPhone 15 Pro series.

Xiaomi’s User Operations Manager has also noted the initial low yield rate and limited supply of this model, but he assures that production will scale up moving forward. Importantly, this phone is not a limited edition, suggesting that consumers should avoid overpaying in the secondary market as availability will improve.

Xiaomi’s overall sales have been strong, with the Xiaomi 14 series performing exceptionally well, recording a sixfold increase in sales within the first five minutes compared to the previous generation’s initial sales.

The company has also been transparent about out-of-warranty repair costs for the Xiaomi 14 series, including the Pro and Titanium Editions. These costs vary by component, with the Titanium Edition commanding higher prices for parts like the screen and battery cover due to its premium materials such as the titanium frame and Dragon Crystal Glass.

Consumers are reminded that these repair costs are applicable only when the warranty does not cover the repairs, and under warranty, repairs may be free or at a reduced price.

Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition has low yield rate: Official

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 06:09:05 +0000

Last week, the Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition was announced alongside the vanilla Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. Unlike the other two models, the special variant is yet to go on open sale.

Thus, confusion arose among netizens regarding the availability of the titanium edition. Thankfully, a Xiaomi executive clarified this matter today.

Xiaomi user operation manager shed some light on the availability of the Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition on Weibo.

He says that the yield rate of this device is low at the moment. Hence, only a few units will be up for grabs when the first batch ships.

However, the executive assures that the product will be restocked once the production capacity ramps up. He also adds that the handset will not be sold in limited quantities, suggesting a better availability in the future.

He urges interested customers to wait. Finally, he mentions that people with F-codes can pre-order the phone. But even so, the wait time is about half a month.

The Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition is priced at ¥6,499 (~$890). It arrives with 16GB RAM, 1TB storage, and the same specs as the regular Xiaomi 14 Pro.

But it gets a titanium alloy middle frame, Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass protection on the front and rear, a titanium grey paint job, and an orange accent for the camera island.

The Xiaomi 14 series just went official a few hours back. As expected, the company unveiled two devices, namely Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro.

Just like a leak suggested in August, the firm also announced a special edition of Xiaomi 14 Pro. This version of the phone features a titanium alloy frame and comes in a unique colorway.

Let’s check out how this variant differs from the regular model.

The Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition sports a titanium alloy middle frame. The company claims that the device uses 99% aerospace-grade titanium.

Further, the handset features Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass both on the front and the back. For comparison, the standard Xiaomi 14 Pro uses this glass only for the display.

It arrives in a titanium grey color option with an orange accent for the bottom layer of the camera island. Finally, it is offered in a single 16GB + 1TB memory configuration.

Apart from the aforementioned cosmetic changes, the specs of the special variant remain the same as the regular version

The Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition is priced at ¥6,499 (~$890). This makes it ¥500 (~$70) more expensive than the standard Xiaomi 14 Pro for the same amount of RAM and storage.

The Xiaomi 14 series is confirmed to launch outside mainland China. However, it is not known if the Titanium Special Edition will make its way to global markets.
