The start of the yr is normally hectic with new cellphone launches. We’ve obtained the Honor Magic 6 launch within the second week of January and the Samsung Galaxy S24 collection coming every week later, setting the stage for all the newest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powered telephones. Coming slightly later, nevertheless (and perhaps slightly too late), is the Xiaomi 14 line.
Effectively-known leaker Yogesh Brar just lately shared the date on X (by way of PhoneArena), saying that the worldwide launch is deliberate for MWC 2024 in Barcelona, that means a potential date of February 27. Whereas MWC is the most important cell occasion of the yr, that does go away it about 6 weeks adrift of Samsung, and presumably too late for any early adopters.
The Xiaomi 14 collection options the newest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, alongside a triple-camera setup in partnership with Leica. We’ve not managed to get our fingers on the gadget but, however by all stories it’s performing very effectively in China – which makes all of it a tad extra baffling that the corporate is completely satisfied to attend till nearly two months into 2024 for its international launch.
We had been on the bottom at MWC 2023 again in February, and whereas it’s a large tech occasion that each one the massive corporations (besides Apple) participate in, it’s typically extra of a stomping floor for the likes of Honor, Realme, Tecno, and OnePlus. Xiaomi performs within the massive leagues alongside Samsung and Apple, so it could undoubtedly get the eye it wants with out the assistance of MWC. Until they’ve one thing extra thrilling in thoughts, in fact…
Anyway, we will’t corroborate any of those rumors in the mean time, so make sure to take all of it with a pinch of salt. If February is just too lengthy to attend, we’ve obtained the most effective Xiaomi telephones you’ll be able to seize proper now, in addition to a Xiaomi Watch 2 Professional assessment in the event you fancy a wearable.
