Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro was launched in China in October 2023 featuring the new HyperOS interface, and various rumours are now pointing out that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra might join the lineup soon. Most recently, an alleged cover glass of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra appeared online, revealing key details about the camera of the upcoming smartphone. It could feature the same camera module design as its predecessor but include brighter lenses. The Chinese tech giant is rumoured to launch the handset in March 2024.

The leaked image (via GSMArena) shows the cover glass with Leica branding. The camera cut-outs are placed similarly to Xiaomi 13 Ultra, but the size of the lens holes are slightly bigger, indicating brighter lenses could be in the making. As per the report, the primary camera could get an f/1.6 aperture as opposed to the predecessor's f/1.9 aperture.

The periscope telephoto camera is also expected to feature a lens with f/2.5 aperture in contrast with Xiaomi 13 Ultra's f/3.0 aperture. Earlier, a tipster claimed that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra could get a Sony LYT-900 sensor for the primary camera with a variable aperture (f/1.63-f/2.5). It was also tipped to get an aspherical lens (ASPH) called Vario-Summilux 1:1.63-2.5/12-120. Further, the leak also mentioned a 120mm periscope telephoto camera.
