Xiaomi’s reportedly gearing up to release its next flagship series, the Xiaomi 14, earlier than anticipated. According to a recent break by the credible tipster Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi 14 and its more advanced variant, the Xiaomi 14 Pro, could debut as early as the first or second week of November in China.
The company aims to capitalize on the Double Eleven shopping event, China's massive annual online shopping festival, starting November 11. Known globally as Singles' Day, this event has become one of the world's most significant online retail phenomena, featuring numerous discounts and promotions on various products.
The accelerated launch timeline is a reaction to the strong sales performance of the Xiaomi 13 series, which managed to hit its sales targets within just nine months. The Pro model sold out on multiple platforms and was out of stock within days.
Typically, there's a little over a year between the launch of one model in Xiaomi's numbered series and its successor. However, slung by the faster sales cycle of the Xiaomi 13 series, the company seems eager to maintain momentum with an early release of the Xiaomi's new 5G models.
Reports also indicate that an Ultra variant, which typically takes the stage in the second quarter of each year, could launch in the first quarter of 2024. The early anticipation is cause for even more excitement amid the community. However, the alleged launch details still need confirmation by the company.
The forthcoming Xiaomi 14 lineup is eagerly awaited, given the significant market success of its predecessor. With an early November release, Xiaomi looks set to cash in on the shopping frenzy surrounding Double Eleven, securing a robust launch pad for its next-generation smartphones.
