Highlights

• Xiaomi 14 series may be the first to feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
• Founder Lei Jun announces new UI called HyperOS, shifting from MIUI.
• Xiaomi 14 Pro expected to sport a 6.6-inch AMOLED with 2K resolution.
• Industry-first 1mm bezels aim to push the screen-to-body ratio to new limits.

The Xiaomi 14 series is the next flagship offering to come out of the company’s stable of products.

It is slated for a launch this month and if founder  Lei Jun is to be believed in his claims, the device will be “very very powerful”.

So what does this mean?

Of course, being a flagship offering and possibly having three variants in the series, the Xiaomi 14 lineup will treat users to a flagship experience.

Chief among things to expect is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which is likely to permeate through all models in the Xiaomi 14 series.

First with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3?

Qualcomm’s annual Snapdragon summit is to be held on October 25 and the launch of the Xiaomi 14 series is on October 27.

So it is a very logical assumption that the lineup will in fact be the first in the Android world to feature Android’s latest and greatest SoC.
This alone is reason enough to justify Lei Jun’s statement on Weibo.

Release of HyperOS

However, if leaks and reports are to be believed, that is not all that the Xiaomi 14 series has to offer.

Xiaomi has now introduced a brand new interface on its devices, shifting from its years of MIUI usage.

The new UI is being termed HyperOS and its hallmarks are being touted to make fluidity and speed the centre stage.

Unfortunately, for the time being, this new benign interface will not land on global shores.

Even so, Lei Jun has confirmed that HyperOS will gradually replace MIUI in older devices.

Apart from that there are also display metrics to take note of, with the Xiaomi 14 series looking to shatter the screen-to-body ratio by introducing an industry-first 1mm of bezels around its displays.
