In addition to the base model Xiaomi 14 we also got to see the presentation of the model for the most demanding customers, and we have a new one here Xiaomi 14 Pro with a large 6,73″ OLED display, new HyperOS software and an innovative Leica Summilux lens.
Chinese version at fantastic prices
Our partner retailer TradingShenzhen is coming up with the sale of the latest Xiaomi 14 Pro smartphone that is currently available in the Chinese version and it will probably stay that way. News is spreading on the Internet that we will not see the global version.
The disadvantage of this version is the absence of the B20 LTE band in support, which in the territory of Slovakia and the Czech Republic means that you cannot connect to the 4G LTE network outside the city. In the city, the signal will work without problems, outside the city on the 2G / 3G network. The 5G network also works without problems on this version.
The phone also comes with a Chinese version of the HyperOS superstructure, which basically has only Chinese and English languages available. However, the seller will install complete Google services on your phone, which are functional. You can also pay extra from the Chinese warehouse installing a local translated Xiaomi.EU ROM, which will solve the problem with languages.
It is available from China via treated Global Priority duty-free shipping, which we have already tested ourselves on a number of packages and works excellently.

Xiaomi 14 Pro: These are the technical specifications
Xiaomi 14 Pro compared to the basic model, it is a more powerful and larger device. However, it still retains a slightly rounded display, rounded corners on the edges and very thin frames around the screen, which are even smaller compared to the Xiaomi 13 Pro. This year, they have a value of only 1,8 mm on the sides and 2,08 mm above the bottom edge.
Pro emphasizes its position in the portfolio with display technology. It offers adaptive and up to 6,73″ LTPO OLED display with a fine 2K resolution and a dynamic refresh rate of 1-120 Hz. The resulting fineness of the display is 522 ppi. There is also TÜV certification, DC dimming (1920 Hz PWM), maximum brightness of up to 3000 nits, as well as Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HDR Vivid technology.
In this case too, we can rely on the latest flagship processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It offers a total of up to eight cores, in the new 1 + 5 + 2 configuration, as well as a new ultra-powerful core Cortex-X4, with a clock rate of up to 3,3 GHz. In the choice of configurations, there will be up to 16 GB of RAM and 256 / 512 / 1 TB of fast internal storage.
Leica Summilux lenses and the new HyperOS operating system
Leaks of information are also becoming a reality in terms of photographic equipment. Xiaomi brings new Leica Summilux lenses that are different from last year's flagship.
The main sensor has a size of 1/1,31″, resolution 50MPx / 23mm, professional 7P lens architecture, as well as a variable focal length on the level from f/1,42 up to f/4.0. This particular sensor is equipped with the new Summilux technology, which increases the sensitivity to light by up to 180%. In reality, this means even better processed HDR photos.
It is supplemented by a 50 MPx / 14 mm ultra-wide-angle camera (115°, f/2.2) and a 50 MPx telephoto lens with a focal length of 75 mm, OIS, 3,2x optical zoom and an aperture of f/2.0. The front camera is located in the recess in the middle of the screen.
A new operating system is part of the equipment of this smartphone HyperOS, which consists of four layers. One of them is a Linux kernel similar to Android, as well as the MIUI graphic superstructure, the Vela OS layer or the Mina OS security layer, i.e. own and separate elements of the system designed by Xiaomi.
There is also a HyperConnect layer for connecting other products of the ecosystem. And an intelligent assistant Xiaomi HyperMind (Beta) will then use AI to help you control your smart home. The manufacturer also boasted that, even considering the complexity of the system, it has a relatively small size compared to the competition. It only takes up 14 GB on the Xiaomi 8,75 Pro.
The integrated battery has capacity up to 4880 mAh. This battery supports ultra-fast 120 W wired charging and fast wireless charging with power 50 W.

How long will software support last? And how will it be with the use of Google services?
Xiaomi flagships have sw support for 4-5 years at the moment. Google services will work without problems in the global version, you just have to wait for the introduction of the global version in Europe. Which will probably be next year.
Interesting, I think 4-5 years is fine. I'm thinking about the Samsung S24 myself and how it will compare to this Xiaomi, so at least my choice has expanded.
And what about the Chinese version, will Google services go there too? The absence of B20 doesn't bother me that much.
G Services will run normally, or you can flash the Xiaomi.EU ROM when it is available.
