Mondo Digital Updated on 2024-02-24

The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra has just been announced, and we give you an overview of its appearance and configuration for the first time. There will be an in-depth review tomorrow, but today, let's take a sneak peek.

In terms of design, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra continues the essence of the previous generation, but with a noticeably improved appearance. The "big hunchback" design has been canceled, and the feel has been significantly improved. It still has a metal middle frame that extends backwards, and uniquely, this time it has launched a dragon crystal blue ceramic version, while the other black and white models are made of plain leather. Personally, the melanin leather model exudes a strong business atmosphere. Although the hunchback has been removed, the bulge of the lens module is relatively more pronounced, roughly counting three layers.

In terms of thickness, it reaches 92 mm, while the ceramic version weighs 2295 grams, and the plain leather version is slightly lighter, 220-224 grams. In addition to the appearance changes, the screen is also a highlight. The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra uses a contoured quad screen, which appeals to me even more compared to the hyperboloid of its predecessor. This screen comes from CSOT's C8 and is 2K resolution, 67 inches, peak brightness up to 3000 nits according to Xiaomi officials.

In terms of performance configuration, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is still equipped with top-of-the-line configurations, with an eight-pronged four-full-blooded processor, a large 5300 mAh battery, wired charging up to 90 watts, and wireless charging up to 80 watts. It also supports 80-watt wireless charging, which was released at the same time. In terms of feel, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has also improved, compared to the previous generation 13 Ultra, it is no longer so "head-falling". The fingerprint position is also not too low, providing users with a more comfortable experience.

In terms of imaging, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is equipped with the latest one-inch main camera ryt900, which was also unveiled on the Oppo X7 Ultra before, and its strength should not be underestimated. In addition, there are three IMX858 lenses, one of which has been upgraded. In tomorrow's in-depth review, we'll give you a closer look.

In terms of interfaces, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra uses USB 32. It also supports advanced functions such as satellite communication, IP68 dustproof and waterproof, and WiFi 7. Also available this time is an image kit that includes a white and metal-like weave design that is full of the charm of a traditional camera. The kit comes with a shortcut for focus, zoom, video recording, and a wave wheel to adjust the aperture.

So, how would you rate this Xiaomi 14 Ultra on it? Feel free to comment below. Tomorrow, we'll bring you a comprehensive in-depth review, so stay tuned.
