Xiaomi 14 India launch on March 7: 5 things that are already confirmed about the phone

The Xiaomi 14 series made its global debut at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024. The company showed off the Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 14 Pro, and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. However, like every year, we keep hoping the Ultra will launch in India, but then it doesn’t. This year though, we can put the hopes to rest because Xiaomi has confirmed that the 14 Ultra will not be coming to the Indian markets. In fact, this year, even the Xiaomi 14 Pro will not be launched in India. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer only has plans to bring the Xiaomi 14 to India, for now.

While it would have been great to even have the Xiaomi 14 Pro and Xiaomi 14 Ultra in the Indian market, however, we have been using the Xiaomi 14 for a few days now, and we can say that even the vanilla variant of the series is quite power packed. You can read our initial impressions of the Xiaomi 14.

Now, the Xiaomi 14 is scheduled to officially launch in India on March 7, but at this point, barring the price, we pretty much know everything about the smartphone. However, we do have an estimate of how much the phone will cost in India. While most rumours on social media hope the phone will be priced below Rs 60,000, the Xiaomi 14 will be a little more expensive and will be priced somewhere below Rs 75,000.

Coming to the specifications, we know almost all the details about the Xiaomi 15. Here are 5 things that are confirmed about the smartphone:

-The Xiaomi 14 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. There could be models with less RAM and storage too.

-The Xiaomi 14 will use a 4,610 mAh battery. It will come with 90 W wired, 50 W wireless, and 10 W reverse wireless charging support.

-After HyperOS officially debuts in India on February 29, the Xiaomi 14 will be the first phone to launch with this OS. The Poco X6 Pro was the first device to launch with HyperOS pre-installed in India.

-The Xiaomi 14 will have a 6.36-inch LTPO AMOLED display, boasting 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate that can go as high as 120 Hz. It will also offer a peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits.
