For example, in terms of appearance, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has switched to a slightly curved screen that is very popular at the moment, and the size is 673 inches.
The back design is basically the same as that of the previous generation, but the streamlined bulge has been canceled, and more importantly, the version with a ceramic back cover has been added, which is finally the physical level. The ceramic version is in dragon crystal blue and weighs 2295g。The black and white are still made of plain leather and weigh 2244g。
In terms of configuration, the screen of Xiaomi 14 Ultra is the same as that of 14 Pro, using Huaxing C8 light-emitting material, 3200*1440 resolution, supporting 1-120Hz LTPO without extremely high brush, local peak brightness up to 3000nit, and 12bit color depth.
