The Xiaomi 14 series launch date has been tipped. According to a leaked image (shown below the article), HyperOS 1.0 will launch on October 31 in China, and with it, the Xiaomi 14 series. Do note that we don’t know the source of this image, so take the info with a grain of salt.
The Xiaomi 14 launch date has been tipped, HyperOS coming too
Xiaomi already confirmed that HyperOS will debut on the Xiaomi 14 series, so the two will launch at the same time. In any case, Evan Blass also had something to add to the mix.
The tipster said that Xiaomi is “fairly close” to introducing the Xiaomi 14 series. He also said that both standard and ‘Pro’ variants will get brand new Leica Summilux lenses. Those are allegedly the best the company ever employed.
The Xiaomi 14 Pro design did leak not long ago. Its CAD-based renders appeared to reveal flatter sides than last year. The phone still features rounded corners, but a different-looking camera island on the back.
The display on the phone will be flat this time around, it seems. The bezels will be very thin, maybe even uniform. A display camera hole is once again located at the top of the display.
A new Leica lens will be included, and hopefully variable aperture too
Now, the Xiaomi 13 Pro already includes a 1-inch camera sensor from Sony. Will Xiaomi use that same sensor this time around? Well, it’s possible, let’s just hope the company will add variable aperture to the mix.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra offers a 2-stop variable aperture, while Huawei ups that to a 10-stop variable aperture in its most powerful smartphones. Will Xiaomi take the next step? Well, let’s hope so, it would certainly help the camera performance.
Do note that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is also rumored to arrive, but chances are it will launch next year, not at the same time as the other two models.
