Recently, well-known Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed that a photography-focused flagship phone would debut by the end of February. Even Xiaomi Groupe President and Partner Lu Weibing hinted that he would soon switch to a new phone with strong photography capabilities. While they did not specify the device’s name, it seems that they are talking about the upcoming Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Another leaker has now shared the tentative launch timeframe of the device.
According to the tipster, Xiaomi 14 Ultra will likely be unveiled by the end of February. As it is known, the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 is scheduled to take place in Barcelona, Spain, around the same time in February. Xiaomi may likely showcase the device at the tech exhibition.
