Xiaomi 14 (12GB/512GB)

The Xiaomi 14 came with the all-new HyperOS, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and Leica-branded cameras all in a compact body. And it has also officially launched in Nepal. In this article, let’s head into the specs, features, and official price of the Xiaomi 14 in Nepal.

Xiaomi 14 Overview:

Design and Display

Kicking off with the design side of things, the Xiaomi 14 shares a similar look with its Pro sibling. Xiaomi has continued with the flat frame build with curved edges. Retaining the compact form factor, the chin is slimmer on all sides, thanks to the FIAA technology. The camera module gets a slight revamp with a protruding square housing. Likewise, the device secures an IP68 dust and water rating.

Talking of the display, the Xiaomi 14 sports a 6.36-inch Huaxing C8 OLED panel with 1.5k resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. This time, the company has collaborated with TCL instead of Samsung for the screen. This flagship panel bears HLG, HDR 10+, and Dolby Vision certifications compatible with wide P3 color space and reaches an astonishing 3000 nits of peak brightness.

Performance

Under the hood, the vanilla Xiaomi 14 and Pro debut the latest and greatest Snapdragon Gen 3 processor. This new flagship chip features a prime Cortex-X4 core clocking at 3.3GHz, five Cortex-A720 cores at 3.2GHz, and two A520 cores running at 2.3GHz frequency. It is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 internal storage.

To keep the thermals in check, Xiaomi has infused a gas-liquid separation channel for heat dissipation during intensive activities. On the software front, you get the HyperOS build on top of Android 14, replacing the decade-old MIUI. It is basically a revamp of the old OS with several new lock screen customization options and changes in the core.

Leica Cameras

Getting to the cameras, this vanilla model also enjoys the nitty-gritty of the Xiaomi-Leica partnership. It gets the new 50MP Light Fusion 900 image sensor for better HDR and better image video quality. On top of that, the Summilux aspherical lens is also helping with more enhanced outputs compared to the Summicron ones used on the Xiaomi 13.

It is complemented by a 50MP ultrawide and 75mm 50MP OIS-enabled telephoto shooter. For selfies and video calls, you get a 32MP snapper embedded in the hole-punch cutout.

Battery and Connectivity

Moving on, the Xiaomi 14 gets its fuel from a 4,610mAh battery supporting 90W wired and 50W wireless charging. Other than this, it brings a faster USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-C, of course) protocol with 5Gbps speed, which is able to connect up to a 4K external display.
