Performance

According to rumors, the next Xiaomi flagships will be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon Gen 3. This chip is scheduled to come out later in October, and the Xiaomi 14 lineup will probably be one of the first phones to use 8 Gen 3. Also, this 14 series will bring about up to 1TB of storage while the 13 series gave space limited to 512GB.

Other than this, these Xiaomi phones will also bear a faster USB 3.2 (Type-C, of course) protocol, which will also be able to connect up to a 4K external display. In the Xiaomi 13 lineup, only the Xiaomi 13 Ultra brings a USB 3.2 Type-C port while the rest of the phones equip a slower USB 2.0 Type-C connection.

Cameras

There are camera design leaks for the Xiaomi 14; it will get the squarish camera island placed at the top-left corners. And this time, it is rumored that the camera module will house 4 camera sensors. Reports suggest that the Xiaomi 14 family will finally bring a 4K selfie video recording option. To note, no other Xiaomi phone so far (except the newly launched Xiaomi Civi 3) can record 4K videos from the front camera.
