Xiaomi 14 is set for India launch on March 7. There is no word on the Xiaomi 14 Pro (or Xiaomi 14 Ultra) as of now. But regardless of whether or not the pro (and ultra) make it to India, Xiaomi launching “any” flagship phone in the country is a welcome sight because it’s a rare phenomenon. Compact flagship aficionados will also be pleased to know that the Xiaomi 14 is a compact flagship, which is another rare occurrence.
But an even more important think to know is that the Xiaomi 14 shares a lot of its hardware with the Xiaomi 14 Pro including the chipset and wireless charging tech. The cameras, too, are largely the same and that includes the Leica treatment. In simple words, there is lots to look forward to. We might as well be looking at one of the best camera flagship phones of 2024.
