Chinese consumer tech giant Xiaomi is speculated to launch the Xiaomi 14 series in India after the company teased its partnership with Leica, a German company well-known for its camera technology. The news follows the successful launch of Xiaomi 14 series in China last year.
While Xiaomi has not explicitly confirmed the India launch, their recent social media post featuring the tagline “#XiaomixLeica magic is only getting started!” alongside captivating camera visuals hints at a strong possibility. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra, rumored to be showcased at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) starting February 26, is expected to feature cutting-edge technology, including a Leica-branded camera system.
