On February 25th, following the successful launch event of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Xiaomi officially began the pre-sale for this phone today.
According to a message from @Xiaomi Mobile Official Weibo, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be available for first sale on February 27th at 10 am, starting at a price of 6499 Yuan.
The specific prices for the standard version are as follows: 12GB+256GB for 6499 Yuan; 16GB+512GB for 6999 Yuan; 16GB+1TB for 7799 Yuan. It can also be purchased with a professional imaging kit.
The official statement highlights that with the launch of the Ultra series, the Summilux lens of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra represents a new optical era for Xiaomi mobile imaging, earning it the title of "Lens Emperor."
According to information on the Xiaomi official website, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is equipped with a Summilux lens boasting an f/1.6 large aperture, significantly increasing the amount of light intake by 136% compared to the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, resulting in more light intake and richer layers.
As reported earlier, the overall light intake of this phone is 205% of that of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, making it the industry leader in light intake for a one-inch sensor. It's clear that the imaging setup of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is indeed impressive.
The utilization of multi-layered nano ALD ultra-low reflective coating reduces lens reflectivity to as low as 0.15%, effectively increasing light transmission through the lens, thereby enhancing image clarity and photo quality.
Additionally, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is equipped with a 75mm upright telephoto lens with 3.2x optical zoom and a 120mm periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, both of which exhibit excellent macro performance, capturing clear details at varying distances. The official statement describes them as providing an "outstanding flagship telephoto experience like never before."
