Late last night, the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra were introduced for the global market at the ongoing MWC 2024 trade show. Today, we have confirmation from Xiaomi Malaysia itself that the two devices are coming to Malaysia next week on 7 March.

As the range-topping device in the series, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra features the best hardware, including a sophisticated quad camera system. The 50MP main camera with variable aperture has been updated with a new 1-inch type sensor, while the other three 50MP sensors remain the same, including a 3.2x telephoto shooter, a 5x telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide angle camera with macro support.

Rounding out the specifications of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra are a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 6.73-inch 3200 x 1440 OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate – now with a brighter peak brightness of 3,000 nits – and a generous 5,300mAh battery that can do 90W wired charging; 80W for wireless charging.

As for the more affordable Xiaomi 14, it has a more modest set of hardware, though it is unmistakably still a high-end phone. It comes with a triple camera system (50MP main + 50MP telephoto + 50MP ultra-wide), a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 6.36-inch 2670 x 1200 OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, as well as a 4,610mAh battery with 90W fast charging (50W wireless).

To recap, the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be launched in Malaysia next week on 7 March. We will find out then just how much the two flagship smartphones will cost, and for the sake of comparison, last year’s Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Ultra retailed at RM3,499 and RM5,199 respectively at launch.
