The Xiaomi 14 series made its global debut at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024. The company showed off the Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 14 Pro, and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. However, like every year, we keep hoping the Ultra will launch in India, but then it doesn’t. This year though, we can put the hopes to rest because Xiaomi has confirmed that the 14 Ultra will not be coming to the Indian markets. In fact, this year, even the Xiaomi 14 Pro will not be launched in India. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer only has plans to bring the Xiaomi 14 to India, for now.
While it would have been great to even have the Xiaomi 14 Pro and Xiaomi 14 Ultra in the Indian market, however, we have been using the Xiaomi 14 for a few days now, and we can say that even the vanilla variant of the series is quite power packed. You can read our initial impressions of the Xiaomi 14.

However, we do have an estimate of how much the phone will cost in India. While most rumours on social media hope the phone will be priced below Rs 60,000, the Xiaomi 14 will be a little more expensive and will be priced somewhere below Rs 75,000.
