Product Description
Design and Build
One of the main highlights of Xiaomi 14 Pro is Xiaomi Ceramic Glass. This display panel adopts a special powder formula heated at over 800℃. Through crystal formation, microcrystals are produced, which form an interlocking structure and become evenly dispersed in the glass. This design allows Xiaomi Ceramic Glass to far exceed the strength of typical glass, boasting 10 times higher drop resistance and 1.25 times higher scratch resistance while maintaining high transparency.
All around Liquid Display
Xiaomi 14 Pro features an innovative All-Around 6.73-inch All-Round Liquid Display. Xiaomi has pro-actively improved its smartphone display form after experimenting with one-side, dual, and quad curves. The all-around liquid display curves slightly down on all four sides and corners with consistent curvature, retaining the visual aesthetic of a flat screen while providing the smooth feel of a curved edge.
It resolves issues in traditional curved screens, such as screen distortion, colour inaccuracies, accidental touches, and reliability concerns. From specific angles, it gives the impression that content is suspended above the screen, offering an entirely new visual and tactile experience.
This 6.73-inch display offers remarkable WQHD+ resolution, achieving a pixel density of 522ppi. It utilises C8 light-emitting material co-developed by Xiaomi and CSOT, the industry’s highest luminous efficiency, reaching a peak brightness of 3000 nits and supporting Dolby Vision HDR format.
Furthermore, this display employs LTPO technology, enabling avariable refresh rate from 1-120 Hz, alongside DC dimming and 1920Hz PWM dimming, receiving triple eye protection certification from TÜV Rheinland Certified.
Camera set-up
Xiaomi 14 Pro front and rear camera sets are excellent for best user experience.
Selfie Camera
It comprises a 32 MP (wide) camera with HDR, panorama 4K@30/60fps, 1080p@30/60fps, and gyro-EIS video recording capabilities.
Xiaomi 14 Pro Main Camera
It features a triple set-up primary camera consisting of:
Xiaomi 14 Pro introduces an industry-leading ƒ/1.42 – ƒ/4.0variable aperture capability for the first time. Similar to a camera’s aperture, this variable aperture automatically adapts to changes in ambient light, allowing for adjustments within the ƒ/1.42 – ƒ/4.0 range. This means that in diverse lighting conditions, the Xiaomi 14 Pro can precisely control the light entering the lens, ensuring optimal exposure in various shooting scenarios.
Xiaomi 14 Pro’s ƒ/1.42 – ƒ/4.0variable aperture offers better shooting results and a wealth of creative possibilities. For example, you can control the depth of field and bokeh effects by adjusting the aperture value. A larger aperture can produce brighter photos in low light conditions, while a smaller one can prevent overexposure in strong light. In addition, a smaller aperture can naturally create dazzling starburst effects from point light sources, enhancing artistic expression in photography.
Pro Mode
In pro mode, you can manually adjust the aperture value with a 1/3 EV increment for finer exposure control. Additionally, the system can adjust the aperture continuously based on a set shutter speed to achieve ideal exposure results in various shooting environments. Xiaomi 14 Pro’s ƒ/1.42 – ƒ/4.0 variable aperture undoubtedly brings more possibilities to mobile photography, allowing every user to capture and craft creations like a professional photographer.
