The Xiaomi 13 Ultra launched back in April, in China, and we’re waiting for its global announcement. As we’re waiting for that to happen, some information regarding its predecessor appeared. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra will retain a 1-inch camera sensor, it seems, while it could launch sooner than expected.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra could retain the same 1-inch camera sensor
The information regarding the 1-inch camera sensor comes from Digital Chat Station, a well-known tipster. The phone could actually retain the same sensor as the current-gen model.
As a reminder, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra comes with a 50-megapixel main camera, Sony’s IMX989 sensor. It also includes Leica’s Vario-Summicron lens, and a 2-stop variable aperture (f/1.9-f/4.0).
Having said that, the tipster also noted that the M43 sensor, a 1.33-inch unit, is still too big for phones, and won’t be seen in one in the near future. He did note, however, that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra could arrive with a bigger sensor. We’re not sure if he meant the M43 or not, but there you have it.
The device could launch in Q1 2024, earlier than expected
Now, another piece of news has arrived from Ice Universe, another well-known tipster. He shared some information regarding the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. The tipster says that the phone could arrive sooner than we think.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra launched back in April, and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra could arrive in Q1 2024. In other words, Xiaomi could announce it in January, February, or March.
Considering that Q1 is usually the timeframe Xiaomi announces its regular flagship smartphone series, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra could arrive alongside the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. That would make all the sense in the world.
All three of those phones will be Xiaomi’s high-end offerings, most likely fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. It’s still too early to tell for sure, however, so… do note that.
