The Xiaomi 14 Ultra arrives with brighter lens, bigger battery, Week 8 in review


The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is here. The Chinese launch happened just before the Mobile World Congress started but the global announcement takes place today. The 14 Ultra made refinements to the design and the cameras – the main camera has a second generation 1-inch sensor and a brighter f/1.63 to f/4 stepless aperture. The periscope zoom lens also got a bump from an f/3.0 to an f/2.5, while the rest of the imagers remained the same. Xiaomi added the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, up to 16GB of RAM, a bigger 5,300mAh battery, and two-way satellite communication on the special Titanium Edition of the phone.
