There have been quite a few leaks about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra lately, and it looks pretty good, with highly anticipated changes in terms of appearance and configuration. But there may also be bad news, according to the latest revelations from blogger @Digital Chatting Station, the cost of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has **, and it will inevitably increase in price.
Among them, satellite communication is perhaps the largest contributor to the cost, which is said to have increased by almost $300. Counting other upgrades, the blogger calculates that the BOM cost of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has risen by more than 700 yuan, which is still quite high.
If the BOM cost of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is really as much as 700 yuan, then the price increase reflected in the price may be even greater, and this may also be the first price increase since the 11 Ultra. For reference, the previous generation 13 Ultra has a starting price of 5999 yuan (12GB+256GB).
It is worth noting that there has been a lot of news recently about the price increase of semiconductor components such as storage, screens, radio frequency, power amplifiers, etc., coupled with the new trend of satellite communication in the industry. These are all factors that affect the cost, so the cost of high-end flagships this year may usher in a wave of collective **.
The summary has been leaked so far,Xiaomi 14 Ultra will use a fully contoured micro quad-curved screen similar to the 14 Pro,Use a right-angled middle frame that no longer extends to the back,The back cover is a flat design with no protrusion。 The overall design is straighter and more square than its predecessor, and it has a glass back version.
The machine is equipped with a 2K display and supports Goodix's single-point ultrasonic fingerprint solution. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and has a built-in battery of about 5180mAh (the previous generation was 5000mAh), which supports 90W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. The aforementioned satellite communication function is expected to be standard in all versions.
In terms of image, it adopts the new 1-inch LYT-900 main camera, which has 50 million pixels and supports f 163-f/4.0 stops of variable aperture. The secondary camera is equipped with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, 3The 2x telephoto and 5x periscope telephoto bring the long-awaited telephoto macro function.
All in all, it looks like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is not bad at the moment, and this time it will be released in March, which is a bit of an improvement over its predecessor. And according to the digital chatting station, the stock of the machine has more than doubled during the same period, and it seems that Xiaomi is still very confident in the 14 ultra internally.
As for the price increase, as long as the pile is enough, it is not unacceptable. And the ** of Xiaomi's super-large cup flagship originally had more advantages than the super-large cups of some friends, so there was also some space left in the middle. And if it's not good, friends will also rise this year, maybe the best advantage is still there.
What do you think the Xiaomi 14 Ultra pricing will be this time?
