The series will most likely come with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which Qualcomm is scheduled to unveil on October 24. This happens every year.

Some previous reports have revealed that the Xiaomi 14 will come with 90W charging, an improvement over the preceding 13 series. Interestingly, Xiaomi has opted to maintain the 120W charging capability for the Pro variant. It demonstrates its commitment to delivering fast charging solutions to its users.

The rumours claim that the main camera will get an even larger sensor – 50MP 1/1.28”, up from 50MP 1/1.49”. In addition to that, it will also have a “medium-telephoto” camera, probably with a standard lens like its predecessor. However, unlike Xiaomi 13, it may offer higher than 3.2x optical magnification. There have been no words regarding what the fourth sensor might be.

The series will include the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. The initial release will likely happen in China, featuring their new HyperOS. A global release will take place in the early weeks of 2024.

With Singles’ Day (11.11) on November 11, which is a major shopping holiday in China. Xiaomi might be strategically aligning its launch with the heightened consumer demand during this time.
