The specs include a 6.44-inch Huaxing C8 OLED display panel with 120Hz refresh rate and 2,800 nits max brightness. The 12-bit display panel is also reportedly certified to support Dolby Vision and HDR10+.

The phone is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and as per the leaks, could be paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, which offers much faster read and write speeds than UFS 3.1 storage units. The phone is also expected to pack a 4,600mAh battery with support for 90W wired charging, 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.

Coming to the cameras, the Xiaomi 14 is expected to pack a 50MP OV50H main camera with OIS, along with another 50MP ultrawide camera, and a third 50MP telephoto lens. The camera setup is expected to collaborate with German camera-maker Leica, although it isn’t clear if Leica will contribute to the actual lenses or simply tune the software processing for the cameras.

Other expected features include a new larger Vapour Cooling system to cool the phones, stereo speakers, an IR blaster, and an IP68 certification.

Fortunately, with the launch merely a few weeks away, there’s not a long time to wait.
