When the tech giant Xiaomi brought its new generation flagship phone, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, into the public eye, rice fans who were originally expecting a visual feast ushered in a "design scare". This highly-anticipated top-of-the-line imaging flagship has been controversial for its heavily protruding lens and heavy, clumsy exterior design.
The exterior design of the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra continues the style of its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra, with a plain leather body, a matrix quad-camera module, and an eye-catching Leica logo, everything looks familiar and high-end. However, it is this "familiarity" that disappoints many rice fans. While smartphone designs are changing with each passing day, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra seems to be standing still, and even regressing in some aspects.
The problem of lens bulging has always been one of the difficult problems in smartphone design. In order to pursue higher camera performance, mobile phone manufacturers have to compromise on the physical size of the lens. However, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra's lens bulge seems to be more than one might expect, which not only affects the phone's overall aesthetics, but also increases the risk of wear and tear in everyday use.
The problem of the heavy and clumsy fuselage is also criticized. In today's pursuit of thinness, lightness and portability, the heavy body of the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is undoubtedly an "anti-trend" design. Although the larger body capacity can accommodate more hardware configurations, it also brings problems such as poor grip and inconvenience to carry.
In the face of the disappointment and complaints of rice fans, Xiaomi should perhaps deeply reflect on its product design philosophy. In today's increasingly competitive smartphone market, it is difficult to win the favor of consumers by relying solely on hardware stacking and first-chain technology. Only by constantly innovating and breaking through ourselves can we be invincible in the market.
Of course, we can't deny that the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is excellent in terms of hardware configuration and camera performance. But if these advantages don't translate into a good user experience and an aesthetically pleasing design, then they will end up being empty numbers and parameters. It is better to choose the Xiaomi 14 that faces the screen directly, which is delicate and high-end, and cost-effective.
The Xiaomi Mi 14 has an excellent performance in terms of thin and light body, face-to-face screen, and value for money. It blesses 1The 5K super visual screen supports 120Hz LTPO adaptive high refresh rate, and the peak brightness of the screen is up to 3000nit.

It is also equipped with a 50MP Leica triple camera system, which can control the light quickly and has excellent image shooting capabilities. These configurations make the Xiaomi Mi 14 very attractive in terms of price/performance ratio. The exterior design of the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is undoubtedly a point of controversy, exposing its deficiencies in product design and user experience.
I hope that Xiaomi can listen carefully to the voice of consumers, continue to improve and innovate, and bring us more excellent products. At the same time, we also expect rice fans to look at each product rationally, not only to see its advantages, but also to tolerate its shortcomings, and jointly promote the progress and development of the smartphone industry.
