Both of these smartphones run on HyperOS, a new Android skin that Xiaomi has adopted, replacing MIUI. This change aims to provide a more streamlined and lightweight software experience, addressing some of the concerns associated with MIUI. Xiaomi also aims to improve cross-device capabilities with HyperOS, especially for users with a Xiaomi ecosystem.
As for the release date, the global launch of the Xiaomi 13 didn’t occur until late February. Therefore, we may have to wait until around February 2024 before seeing the Xiaomi 14 line become more widely available.
While the global pricing for these devices remains uncertain, for reference, the Xiaomi 14 starts at CNY 3,999 (approximately $545 / £450 / AU$870) in China, and the Xiaomi 14 Pro starts at CNY 4,999 (roughly $685 / £565 / AU$1,085). It’s worth noting that global pricing may vary and could be higher than these initial figures.
