Xiaomi 14 Ultra Overview

Design and Display

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra rocks a Dragon Armor Architecture for design. The device measures 161.4 x 75.3 x 9.2 mm and weighs 224.4g for the standard variant. The maker also comes with a grade 5 Titanium Metal Special Edition for this model. The innovative and sturdy Dragon Crystal Glass (Longjing glass) which debuted with the Xiaomi 14 Pro layer protects the screen. It’s 10X more resistant to falls than regular glass. The rear features a quad-camera setup in a circular camera module with the LEICA branding right in the middle. Also, keep a note that in China, a Blue ceramic version of the model- Dragon Crystal Blue was unveiled. Xiaomi claims that it’s 50% lighter than regular ceramics. If it works out, then the ceramic back cover trend may as well be ensured among the phone makers.

In the front, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra flaunts an LTPO AMOLED screen of 6.73 inches which boasts a 59.6% screen-to-body ratio. The device offers a 2K resolution (1440 x 3200) and boasts a massively high 522 ppi density ensuring that everything on the screen is sharp and vibrant. Plus, it’s also one of the brightest screens around with 3,000 nits in peak though it can’t beat the OnePlus 12‘s 4,500 nits. The screen comes with a 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling. There’s also support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and 68B colors which all add up to a stunning display aspect of this premium device.

Cameras

Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s photography caliber is powered by LEICA. The device comes with a quad-camera setup with a LEICA Summilux lens. It includes a Sony LYT-900 1-inch sensor- a 50 MP wide camera as its primary shooter with OIS and variable aperture. Very few phones boast 1-inch sensors such as the Xiaomi 13 Pro, and the Oppo Find X6 Pro to name a few. The other ensemble comprises a 50 MP ultrawide camera, a 50 MP telephoto with OIS, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS. Xiaomi says that its camera’s light intake is 205% better than the iPhone 15 Pro Max which is the highest in the industry. The rear camera can record videos at 8K@24/30 fps. It supports features such as gyro-EIS and Dolby Vision HDR 10-bit rec. On the front is a 32 MP camera for selfie photos and videos. This unit can shoot videos at up to 4K resolution @30/60fps.

With the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Xiaomi has brought AISP, an AI large model computational photography platform. This technology supports ULTRA SNAP, ULTRA RAW, and ULTRA ZOOM features. To further illustrate, the AI allows 30X AI super zoom, 4k video recording at 120fps with the main camera, and 8K video shooting. Also, expect better night photography with more sharpness and rich details.

Performance

Xiaomi is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. It’s not the Snapdragon for Galaxy as in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Therefore, it features 8 cores- 1 primary core clocking at 3.3 GHz, 3 other cores at 3.15 GHz, and the other 2/2 cores performing at 2.96 GHz and 2.26 GHz respectively. The chipset is paired with an Adreno 750 GPU for graphics works.

Likewise, the model comes with a 4000mm² cooling chamber that keeps the device cool under strain. It’s vital for gamers and those who love to multi-task on the device. Noticeably, Xiaomi has launched the model with 12/256 GB, 16/512, and 16/1 TB RAM+ storage options. It comes with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage. And as obvious, the model boots to Android 14-based HyperOS.

Xiaomi claims that with a charging cable, the device can be fully charged from 0 to 100% in 35 minutes. This large battery pack and fast charging means plenty of juice for a day with moderate to heavy use. Let’s not forget that it also supports 10W reverse wireless charging.

Connectivity

Xiaomi 14 Ultra comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 under the hood, which features Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 System. It enables WiFi 7 compatibility for the device just like its Xiaomi 14 Pro sibling. It’s also one of the first and few devices to support a tri-band WiFi connection. Likewise, the 5G connectivity offers massive download and upload speed capacity. There are other valuable features on the device such as NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, infrared port, USB Type-C 3.2, OTG support, etc. 5G smartphones have grown in number and are no longer an exclusive feature among high-end devices.

Also noteworthy is that the lineup comes with dual satellite communication features backed by high-performance antennas for satellite connectivity. This one supports real-time voice and two-way texting. Xiaomi has used a home-grown Surge T1 chip for higher connectivity performance.
