The Xiaomi 14 and its counterpart, the 14 Pro, have grabbed the tech world’s attention ahead of their imminent launch, expected to take place in China later this week.

In terms of memory and storage configurations, the Xiaomi 14 is expected to come in three variants: one with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, another with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, and a high-end version featuring 16GB RAM and 1TB storage.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

Highlights

  • Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to feature a revamped bottom-firing speaker with a long strip design.
  • Leaked information generates mixed initial reactions, with comparisons to older Galaxy models.
  • Speaker design is one of several changes expected, including a reduction in optical zoom capabilities.
