The Xiaomi phone line has a new leader. He Xiaomi 14 Ultra has just launched in China and features a range of impressive photography specs including a main camera with a large one-inch sensor (specifically the Sony LYT-900) and a variable aperture with 1024 stops between f/1.63 and f/4, 0. Prices start at ¥6,499 (around $904) for 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and rise to ¥7,799 (around $1,084) for 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage when the phone goes on sale on February 27. There is also a special edition titanium model that will sell for ¥8,799 (about $1,224).
Although Xiaomi only shared details of the Chinese launch of the 14 Ultra today, it won't be long before the international launch of the phone. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has said that the phone will appear at the company's presentation at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on Sunday, where it will appear alongside the Xiaomi 14 that was launched in China last October. Expect the phones to be available in Europe, but not officially in the US.
