Wow, this camera is becoming more and more like a cell phone.
After the Chinese New Year, Xiaomi eagerly released its 14 Ultra. Not just in China by the way, this phone will be launched globally as well, showing that Xiaomi is finally coming up with the confidence to let people all over the world use this photography monster. I’ve taken a lot of photos with the 13 Ultra over the past year, so I’m probably more excited than anyone to see what new things this phone can bring to the table.Unboxing
This year’s Xiaomi 14 Ultra still comes in the same black box, and the appearance remains unchanged.
The accessories at the top are the same: card pins, manual, and phone case. The phone case has gone from a soft case to a hard one. Interestingly the blue version is clear frosted while the black version is black frosted.
At the bottom are the charger and charging cable. The charger is still 90W, just like the 13 Ultra.Hands-on
In terms of looks, not much has changed from the 13 Ultra. The design language is roughly the same, with a frame that extends to the back panel and a round camera module in the center that still catches our eye.
But when I took the 13 Ultra out for a closer comparison, I still spotted a few small changes. The biggest change is that the slope next to the lens module has been removed, and it looks like the lens module sticks out more.
