Update: The leaked retail box of the Xiaomi 14 is fake. Xiaomi has officially confirmed that its next flagship series will be called the Xiaomi 13 series.
Xiaomi is gearing up for the launch of its next flagship smartphone series in China. The company has already confirmed that the next Xiaomi flagship smartphone series will feature the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Xiaomi did not reveal the official name of the next flagship smartphone series at the time of the announcement. It was expected that the next flagship series could be called the Xiaomi 13 series, which will be the successor to the Xiaomi 12S series. However, it looks like the company might skip the number and launch its next flagship as Xiaomi 14.
Alleged retail boxes of the upcoming Xiaomi 14 have leaked online. The branding on the box has the Xiaomi 14 text on it. The images shared on Weibo also reveal the specifications of the vanilla model. Let’s take a look at the Xiaomi 14 specifications, features and other details known so far.
