The increase in cost is due to an increase in cost of materials (BOM), which indicates significant improvements in the new device.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is described as a “reimagined” product with a Leica quad camera that promises “unexpected new unique experiences.”
The device uses technologies in communication, materials, batteries and other matters developed internally by Xiaomi.
The main focus of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra camera is the Leica optical full-focus quad setup. Although specific details regarding the “unique skills” have not yet been revealed, the collaboration with the famous brand hints at a focus on extraordinary shooting abilities.
An increase in the BOM cost by more than $100 means an inevitable increase in the price of Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Despite possible concerns about consumer accessibility, such improvements are considered justified for a flagship device.
Let us remind you that Xiaomi 14 Ultra has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a quad camera with 50 megapixel modules with f/1.63 – f/4.0 variable aperture, a 5180 mAh battery with 90 W fast charging support and 50 W fast charging support. W wireless charging, as well as an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and a slightly curved display with equal bezels all around.
