One of the users Aryan Gupta shared the images on X after using the Ultra Zoom AI (Beta) and it gives impressive results. This feature sharpens the zoomed images though sometimes the user mentioned that over-sharpening also occurs. The new Master Portrait mode will let users capture elegant and subtle portrait images. 

I am impressed by Xiaomi's new Ultrazoom feature.

Got it this morning on my phone (Indian variant of Xiaomi 14), and it just enhances and sharpens the long-range zoom by miles!

Two things to note:

So, finally, we are all set to witness Xiaomi unveiling its Xiaomi 14 series in the global market on Feb 25th, 2024. The confusion regarding the Pro version making a global debut has been the subject of several discussions. However, we now have some news confirming that Xiaomi is going to launch only the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra in the global markets.

The reason behind this decision is that the Xiaomi Germany page is now live with offers for both the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra. The page further details that pre-orders will start in Germany with a 10% discount on 02/25/2024, 3:00:00 p.m., and will end on 03/31/2024, 11:59:59 p.m. However, the page doesn’t share any further information about the pricing or specs that the global audience may expect.

One important thing to notice here is that the page provides further details about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra series. This would suggest that the earlier tipped information about there being a titanium version of the 14 Ultra might come true.

It is expected that the same Xiaomi 14 that was launched in China will be introduced to the global market. Regarding the Ultra variant, it is also expected to come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, as per its recent sighting on Geekbench. Not only this, a few days ago someone leaked the renders of the alleged Xiaomi 14 Ultra. It is also been tipped that the ultra version may come with a

There are several rumors stating that Xiaomi may launch the Xiaomi 14 Ultra a bit early in China before the global launch, probably around February 22nd.

Xiaomi is being remarkably secretive about the global launch of the Xiaomi 14 series, especially with the confusion arising from Xiaomi Japan initially confirming the arrival of the 14 Ultra, only to retract the statement later. Nevertheless, Xiaomi has undoubtedly heightened anticipation for the upcoming Xiaomi 14 series, as expected.

Xiaomi is gearing up for the launch of the much-awaited Xiaomi 14 series in the global market. As per the announcement, the series will be launched on 25th Feb in the global market. Ahead of its launch, the Xiaomi 14 global variant has appeared on EMVCo and this has been spotted by the X user named Sudhanshu Ambhore.

As per the certification, the Xiaomi 14 will run Android 14-based HyperOS 1.0 and will support NFC. The smartphone is soon expected to launch in India also, and it was said by a tipster named Abhishek Yadav. Along with the standard variant, the Ultra variant is also expected to launch in India, a tipster wrote on X.

Xiaomi launched the 14 series last year in October in China. It came with the standard and the Pro version. Some reports say that the Pro variant can be skipped in the global market. For now, nothing for sure can be said about it though we know about the specs that the Xiaomi 14 series came with in China.

Xiaomi 14 specifications

The Xiaomi 14 smartphone features a 6.36 inch wide 1.5K TCL CSOT C8 OLED 12bit display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 3000 nits of peak brightness. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 handset paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

Xiaomi has officially confirmed the launch date of its much-awaited series, the Xiaomi 14 series, which is on February 25th, 2024. Ever since the announcement was made by the company, the market has been buzzing with news about the phones that can be launched during the event. Recently, Xiaomi Japan reshared the announcement post of Xiaomi in which it announced the launch of the Xiaomi 14 series. When a user asked whether the Ultra model would be launched or not, Xiaomi Japan responded that the Ultra is also included in the series.

Ultraもシリーズに含まれておりますです。

— Xiaomi Japan (@XiaomiJapan) February 7, 2024

This confirmed that the company will also launch the Ultra model during the event. When users started sharing Xiaomi Japan’s response, in which it stated “Ultra is also included in the series,” Xiaomi Japan again came forth to say something.

Xiaomi Japan confirmed that 'Ultra' is also included in the 25th Launch Event 👀 https://t.co/dlnIjcw0DS

— Kartikey Singh (@That_Kartikey) February 7, 2024

Xiaomi Japan wrote on X, “The remark meant that ‘Ultra models are also included in the Xiaomi 14 series in terms of category.’ And further, it wrote, ‘It is currently unknown whether the Ultra will be included in this global version announcement. We do not share any information regarding the ceremony of the event. Sorry for the confusion.'”

前後の文脈含めても言葉足らずだったかもしれませんが、
「Ultraモデルもカテゴリ上Xiaomi 14シリーズに含まれている」という意味での発言でして、
今回のグローバル版の発表にUltraが含まれるかは現状不明です。イベントの式次第など一切共有されておりませんので。まぎらわしくてすみません。

— Xiaomi Japan (@XiaomiJapan) February 7, 2024

So, if we were to make a final verdict, the Xiaomi Japan X post doesn’t confirm the Ultra model in the global market for now, at least. We can expect the company to announce this soon itself, otherwise, the launch event is not so far away either.
