Fast Technology reported on February 18 that Xiaomi 14 Ultra has been officially announced and will be officially released on February 22.
Just now, the official also announced the appearance of the new machine for the first time, introducing the new design language in an all-round way.
The overall style of the previous generation is still continued, but the more controversial stepped module has been canceled and replaced with an integrated solution with better feel and visual effects, and the rear camera is still a large circular module.
The outer ring of the module is also decorated with gold rings and studs of Paris for a better texture.
The two sides of the back are fully wrapped with a metal middle frame, with a larger arc on both sides, and the grip is more close to the palm of the hand.
On the front, it adopts the congruent deep curved screen that was first released on the Xiaomi 14 Pro, which not only has a straight screen appearance, but also has the comfortable feel of a curved screen.
Traditional hyperboloid and quad-curved screens bring a good experience to users visually, but there are still some limitations in technology.
Especially in the four corners of the screen, these traditional screens do not bend down, and the essence is still a straight screen.
This is because the stresses in these areas are very complex, and a large number of micro-folds will inevitably form when a traditional screen is bent, which can cause the screen to crack.
In order to achieve the ideal bending effect, Xiaomi engineers disassembled and analyzed the screen mold layer layer by layer, and finally divided the screen into 1 million small pieces, and then analyzed the stress of each piece one by one to find the place where the stress is most concentrated.
Then, the thickness and physical properties of the film are adjusted at the micron level to increase the elasticity to 15 times, the extrusion resistance has been increased to 4 times the original force, and deep bending of the corners without wrinkles is realized.
After two years of pre-research, the number of screens used for verification alone reached 51,000.
In such a research and development process, the investment is 18 times the research and development cost of the traditional hyperboloid screen, and finally the current congruent deep curved screen is finally realized.
