Xiaomi 14 Ultra, 16GB/512GB - RM5,199
Xiaomi 14, 12GB/256GB - RM3,499
Xiaomi 14, 12GB/512GB - RM3,799

The Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro slot in somewhere below Xiaomi 13 Ultra in terms of camera prowess. And Xiaomi 14 Pro pricing in Malaysia would probably be difficult to priced properly since the device would be in spitting distance of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in Malaysia, one of the best smartphone cameras in the industry.

But Xiaomi 14 would probably sell better if they keep the same RM3499 base price of Xiaomi 13 and upgraded the base storage to 512GB.

At least, these both come with USB 3.2 now haha

If go by price point, the current Android market as of Nov 2023 for brand new Malaysia Set is
Under RM1000 - Poco F5 (RM850~RM900)
Under RM1500 - Xiaomi 13T 256GB (RM1450~RM1600)
Under RM2300 - Honor Magic 5 256GB (RM2095) / Xiaomi 13T Pro 512GB (RM2200)
Under RM3000 - Honor Magic 5 Pro 512GB (RM2898) / OnePlus 11 (RM2950)
Under RM3800 - Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 256GB (RM3,799)
Under RM4300 - Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 512GB (RM4,299)

I really can't foresee how the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro could compete in current market considering the Android smartphones of 2023 is damn good.

Where do you get new POCO F5 with that price? i searched and it is over 1K.

You missed that, that 11.11 deal yesterday with voucher that quite limited amount (220 Poco shop voucher is also quite plenty as well)

I see, not looking to buy a phone haha.

2023 has been a great year for Android phones, so good for consumers in Malaysia at any price point. And currently I don't expect 2024 Android devices to be as value-worth as the 2023 devices.

The Xiaomi 14 Pro is a bit worse than Xiaomi 13 Pro in some areas (like the sensor is no longer the 1-inch IMX989 of Xiaomi 13 Ultra), and the upcoming S24 Ultra is rumoured to downgrade to 5x optical from S23 Ultra's 10x optical zoom.

In that sense, next year Android flagships are downgrading back its camera setups (or they call it experimenting with cameras) to trade it for the "better performance" marketing of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300.

So far no news right when this phone officially coming to Malaysia...

ETA should be AFTER CNY

But then the hype will be on O#EP##S 12 series...

coming soon on 25th Feb... anyone waiting for it?

have been waiting untill feeling lost the hype already since there's so many options available

This was Xiaomi 13/13 Pro promotion last year.

Will they give TV again? Haha.
Else selling RM4599 for Xiaomi 14 Pro will be dead on arrival.

I do hope they will throw some freebies too! Like 13 pro one...

Haha interesting

Any update on the promotional campaign for the launching of the 14

i also waiting for the same thing...

Guys I just have the green line issue with my mi 11 ultra ahhh why Xiaomi flagship qc so problematic

Haihhh

Samsung also similar QC.

Then habislah a lot of phone using their panel even apple

So buy what phone now also dun know

Some model didn't use. U can check them out somewhere the list. I cannot remember the link. Maybe you can google.

They are only a couple of AMOLED suppler on the market globally

The top is of cause Samseng
The far second one is maybe LG

Only some flagship in china use china panel which is unproven and most only sell in china aka only china rom

All the top phone maker use Samseng panel for their flagship even apple

So I dun know where to go if want a flagship phone without Samseng panel

Edit I tried to find who made the panel for Xiaomi 14 series does anybody know?

This post has been edited by yolldddd: Feb 21 2024, 08:09 PM

All Xiaomi 14 models now use TCL/CSOT panel

Well if it's true at least not a Samseng panel

But also true TCL has unproven record so it can be good or worst

I just dun know

But after trying miui and facing it's hords or bugs and issue

And now green line

I also have black shark 1 which is another Xiaomi spinoff which has a fried nobo won't turn on

Also mi 11series is also known for fried wifi where the wifi just stop working as well as fried mobo due to the 888soc I knew the mi 11 ultra also has such issue b4 I bought it which is why I made sure it does not overheat...unfortunately I got the green line instead lol

Sorry at this point I'm just ranting here but No more china phone for me lah. I'm scared liao

This post has been edited by yolldddd: Feb 21 2024, 09:49 PM

Green line is because of design of COP flexible panel for much narrow bottom bezels

Over time with heat and whatnot the COP module will got loose especially the flex connector. Think it like the connector at laptop hinge

Narrow design of the bottom bezels hmmmm... that could explain why my Samsung note 3 screen is still ok almost 11 yrs latter

Damn I really hate these design compromise in the pursuit of narrow bezel but come at the cost of durability

Anyway for modern narrow bottom bezels of modern phones any tips on how to prevent green line or pro long the life b4 the appearance of green line

Or the green line is just the luck of the draw?

This post has been edited by yolldddd: Feb 21 2024, 10:28 PM

Luck problem, just make sure don't overheating too long. Other than that no known method to prevent it

Ps: (feb 2024) we will get global 14 (small one) and ultra one only

You mentioned earlier china set can use 5G. Confirmed?

Yes
14 and K70 series only

Xiaomi MIGHT be launching the 14 series here on 7 March

25 Feb > global launch

7 March > local launch

This post has been edited by Baconateer: Feb 24 2024, 06:55 PM

Cause fastech don't test for 5G unless really popular model. Buy Liao no 5G wasted. Thks

Wait and see. New models can be problematic. Recall some issue with Mi 11.

https://s.lazada.com.my/s.iFixN

Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra open sale start 8 March!

Any indicative pricing

If the price is not sexy for xiaomi 14 probably get from china which tested 5G just Android Auto missing.

Reminder the xiaomi 14 launched last October, and it is a 4 months old model by the time it launch locally.

Check with fastech few days back, the china set price increase nearly 5% due to weak of MYR conversion. So probably it wont come cheap

Local pricing not yet out, but number of storage variants and colour variants of Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra now on their Shopee store.
But my guess for pricing is

Xiaomi 14 12GB+256GB RM3499
16GB+512GB RM4499

Xiaomi 14 Ultra 16GB+512GB RM5499

And then the price is used to upsell with freebies etc like all their previous launches.

I expect Xiaomi 14 series ales to slow down this year since the Xiaomi 13T series will be eating much of its market share.

Yeap the mi 11 series got fried mobo and overheat issue

My mi 11 ultra for green line liao but dats probably due to Samsung panel

A lot of weird problem like for eg. I face prob like I need to close one program for another one to work properly

Sometime app won't update on play store I have to clear data and cache for the app to work again

Delayed notification

Another weird problem I face is sometime app gets update on play store and that app that got updated setting will change for eg. My Gboard change to light node out of a sudden this does not happen often but it sometime will happen or when I clone an app the app will loose it's setting

App get kill even after I set them not to be kill

A lot of bloatware but I heard this is much less of hyperos

Camera sometime cannot work after long uptime and need a phone reboot

Etc

Many more I can't remember now

I'm not sure if hyper os have fix them or not

This post has been edited by yolldddd: Feb 26 2024, 07:52 AM

I am tempted between this and honor magic 6.

First few problems is up to Google side. I believe Google already solved most of them as I never face such issues anymore at least for last few months (make sure Google play system is updated as well and reboot phone when needed)

Delay notification even on global rom? Idk, maybe need tweaking permissions and battery auto start/optimization for some apps

Miui 14 got lesser bloatware or at least most of them uninstallable. Except for few Xiaomi first party apps that can be handled by ADB utility

HyperOS will be largely similar to miui 14 for above

Also ram management is slightly better on HyperOS as well

Camera might be because overheating or just Xiaomi thing. Hope improvement to VC cooling can solve

Haih maybe just bad luck for me I pick the mi 11 ultra as I love the camera

Unfortunately too many issue partly due to the 888 soc and Xiaomi use a very thin board design for the 11 series hence many fried wifi and mobo issue.

Hope they keep improve Incase Samseng s24u fail me I might consider Xiaomi 14 ultra if they dun use Samseng panel on their 14 ultra

Do you know what panel they use on the 14 ultra?

This post has been edited by yolldddd: Feb 26 2024, 10:43 AM

888 soc - samseng
Green line - samseng
Yet you still buy samseng S24U?

My Samseng note 3 lasted till today almost 11yrs bro

The sd8g3 is from tsmc so should be ok

Green line issue some said ledi fix in s23 series...touch wood lahh

In the world of flagship android not much choice bro

It's Samseng Xiaomi oppo and maybe vivo and honor

I ledi kena on Xiaomi mi 11

What else left for me?

Realme gt 5g have serve me well but camera is not flagship level also support is a question for me

Both oppo and vivo flagship I no confident and I dun even know about their support good or not here in Malaysia. Same thing with honor

Last last Samseng lah and since they seem to have fix the green line on the s23 hope it won't happen on the s24 lahhh

Only time will tell unfortunately

Too bad no more Huawei. My Huawei p30 pro still kicking well and alive. But camera koyak de.

The slightly better version of on 14 pro by CSOT

They are TCL right

What about the 14 ultra I can't find any info on its display supplier

Seem many china oem have switch from Samseng after the green line defect which is good. This will teach Samseng a lesson

OnePlus 12 switch to boe
https://www.rprna.com/electronics/phones/no...re-boe-display/

Hopefully these Chinese oem will never switch back to Samseng and keep improving it's domestic OLED tech that will keep Samseng on it's toes from being a monopoly since they never had any real competitor for so long

It's customized panel special for Xiaomi based on their latest C8 oled formula
Xiaomi partnership with TCL/CSOT for some years already since 2020

This post has been edited by MyProLife: Feb 26 2024, 12:17 PM

China Star CSOT C8 AMOLED panel

But the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has one major downside personally for me, a quad-curved display, meaning it curves to the sides, top and bottom. That sounds like a very slippery display

This post has been edited by ASoulNamedLeo: Feb 26 2024, 12:38 PM

The Huawei soul lives on in Honor and Xiaomi. The Honor Magic 5 and Xiaomi 13 series were the best flagship series of 2023 imo (The S23 series came in close third, with the S23 Ultra being the Android king last year)

See you March 7th! Possibly want to try our Xiaomi 14 Ultra before buying (worried that display is too slippery haha)

I will buy the Ultra if it comes with the free TV again

Honor magic 5 and Xiaomi 13 caught my attention too. Almost wanted to get honor magic 5.

Any idea when is the pre order will start? Where were they announce it? Twitter? FB?

March 7 launch

Most likely march 8 start

When is your review coming up?

I dont think we will be getting a review unit..

My site not as big and as popular as others..

Maybe you request and in the future, they will take note on your reviews and allocate one unit to you. Anyway I think Xiaomi flagship sales is not a priority in Malaysia market.

I read a Facebook group on Xiaomi 14, mentioned that after studying the band's, most likely CN set is not able to use 5G. I think safest is to wait someone to test it.
But someone tested and say Ada 5G. Do you knows any big difference between CN set and global set? Price differs a lot too. Thks

This post has been edited by Gratitude2022: Feb 27 2024, 11:22 PM

RM 5199 Xiaomi shop told me

Rom difference la, somehow china rom need to tweaking permissions and battery auto start/ optimization or else notification delay. Also because lack of full gms cannot use android auto or quick share or maps location tracking

14 pro? Pro got no global right? Ultra?

This post has been edited by Gratitude2022: Feb 28 2024, 03:43 PM

Ultra

Fastech price:
Xiaomi Mi14 Ultra CN 🔥🔥 New Model
~12/256 black/blue/white 4626
~16/512 black/blue/white 4933
~16/1TB black/blue/white 5498

Wanna ask noob question, if global version, for sure they will give us 3 pin power adaptor right?

Most likely NO 😂

If basically its same as last yr 13 u, the phone is not slippery at all bro.
Since the back they use those flex leather. 13 ultra screen is not slippery la, unless butter fingers haha.

Just aware that
Global 14 ultra is 5000mah battery while china set is 5300mah

Why china set Xiaomi 14 is 16/512 while global set only 12/512
I am interested in the warranty Saja. Smart watch already got many. Google one 6 months not interested.
Update: I read thru the smart watch specs. Nothing special. No speaker too. Really not worth taking this smart watch. I prefer the 80W wireless charging stand.

This post has been edited by Gratitude2022: Mar 1 2024, 07:59 AM

Same here ..having so many smart watch..and really disappointed with the promotional offer...going for one plus then for my back up phone

One plus 12 very nice for me but heavy. I choose this model because it's small and acceptable weight. Now thinking wanna buy china set or local set.

Damn, no more TV!
Looks like they have cleared their TV stock.
Have to wait for Xiaomi 15

Actually what's the difference between china and local/global set?

Not 100% sure yet.
Maybe 5G cannot use
CN set more functions
Maybe CN set more ads and bloatware
CN set no android auto and Google map location history
CN set cheaper by RM 500?

CN set cannot flash with global ROM like what is done with OnePlus 12?

how many major OS updates?

Those days can but unlock bootloader for the first time need 7 days?
This model I don't know. The experts here can probably comment.

4 U + 5 YRS security

now new hyperos is a bit more mafan , need got xiaomi account registered for 60+ days in their own forum app, apply for unlocking permission and then also need wait more 7 days (or maybe got reduced if follow other forum) as well


if china rom preinstalled need to have specific level of forum (lvl 5 or above) as well

This post has been edited by MyProLife: Mar 1 2024, 09:46 AM

Probably a little bit lower but I don't expect much preorder freebies

A seller says 14 ultra expected price is around 5100

For me xiaomi might set to 5099 or 5199


Preorder freebies for regular 14 will be most likely a smart watch (watch S3 with proprietary os)
Ultra will get off the shelf camera kit like last year (not that official photographer kit again, it's expensive)

This post has been edited by MyProLife: Mar 3 2024, 03:40 PM

How do we make pre order from the retail? Do I need to pay downpayment?

Still no news on pre order for ecommerce platform on what freebies will get?

For mi fans, Xiaomi now selling Mi 13 Ultra at RM31xx after shopee voucher.

Where?

Is it 512gb and global?

https://shopee.com.my/Xiaomi-13-Ultra(12GB-...96-386be76acc0d

good price..

Cheaper than Xiaomi 14, damn that's a steal for anyone. (Unfortunately my budget is only Xiaomi 13T and find 13T enough for me)

Tq bro, this is really a steal

i would had pull the trigger if its not curve screen.

too bad cant find good deals on the regular 13
