The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is said to come as a successor to the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

Digital Chat Station (DCS) (translated from Chinese) detailed the camera specifications of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra on Weibo. As per the tipster, the handset will feature four 50-megapixel cameras with f/1.6-f/4.0 variable aperture. This would be a notable upgrade over the dual aperture offered by its predecessor.

Further, the tipster in a separate post claimed that native focal lengths of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra's camera will be 0.5x, 1x, 3.2x, and 5x.

As per past leaks, Xiaomi 14 Ultra will go official in March next year with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It is said to be powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The phone is expected to pack a quad rear camera unit, comprising a 1-inch Sony Lytia LYT-900 sensor. It is likely to be backed by a 5,500mAh battery.
