Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro were launched in China in October last year with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and the new HyperOS interface. The Chinese tech giant is believed to add the Xiaomi 14 Ultra to this lineup soon. Most recently, the hands-on images of Xiaomi 14 Ultra have appeared online, giving us a closer look at the handset's design. It is seen with a quad camera setup with a periscope lens on the lower right side. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is expected to run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.

Coolapk (now deleted) posted (via SlashLeaks) the hands-on images of an alleged prototype Xiaomi 14 Ultra offering us a look at the phone. The handset appears to be in a camera-covering protective case. It seems to have a noticeable camera bump on the rear with a periscope lens on the lower right side. The camera island appears to be slightly larger than its predecessor — Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

The images have a white label on the back. The writing 'N1' on the label indicates Leica branded cameras, 'EU' suggests a European variant and 'P2' gives the assumption that the unit shown is a prototype used for internal testing by engineers. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Pro, and Vivo X100 Pro are also shown in one of the photos.
