A Premium, Compact Build — The Xiaomi 14 has a premium look and feel. It comes with a flat Gorilla Glass Victus front, a slightly curved Gorilla Glass back with a large, square camera unit with Leica branding, and a metal frame with straight sides that curve slightly. At 152.8 mm tall, it is compact or an Android flagship, much smaller than the OnePlus 12 (164.3 mm), although not as small as the iPhone 15 (147.6 mm). At 193 grams, it is a little heavy but feels very solid and looks smart. It has an IP68 rating, so it can survive a fall in the water. [All image credits: Nimish Dubey and Akriti Rana]

Cameras From Leica — The USP of the Xiaomi 14 is its Leica camera setup. The phone has three 50-megapixel cameras on its back, all made in collaboration with the legendary Leica. The main sensor is a Light Fusion 900 image sensor with a large f/1.6 aperture and OIS (although it is not a one-inch sensor as seen on the Xiaomi 13 Pro), and the others are a telephoto sensor with 3.2x optical zoom and OIS and a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor. There is also a 32-megapixel sensor in front for selfies, but the real photography magic is at the back.
