The new smartphone series of Chinese consumer electronics company Xiaomi will be launched this week. The company’s new operating system will also be introduced in the Xiaomi 14 series. This may include Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC can be given in these smartphones. Xiaomi has informed on the Chinese messaging platform Weibo about the launch of its new series of smartphones on October 26. Apart from HyperOS, these smartphones will be provided with a new camera system developed in collaboration with Leica. The company’s HyperOS operating system will be available for the first time in this series. Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC can be found in both the smartphones of this series. Qualcomm can announce this processor this week. Recently, tipster Anvin (@ZionsAnvin) shared a poster on X (previously Twitter) which allegedly gave the specifications of Xiaomi 14. This smartphone may have a 6.44 inch Huaxing C8 OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Its screen can support Dolby Vision, HDR10+. Apart from this, LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage can be available. A larger VC cooling system can be provided in it. This smartphone can get 50 megapixel primary camera, 50 megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor and 50 megapixel telephoto sensor. Its 4,600 mAh battery can support 90 W wired charging and 50 W wireless charging. The company has planned to increase sales from retail stores in India. For the last few years, Xiaomi has been focusing on e-commerce websites. After lagging behind South Korea’s Samsung, it is trying to increase its smartphone sales. There are more than 60 crore smartphone users in the country. However, online’s share in smartphone sales is 44 percent. Retail stores contribute significantly to these sales. Data from market research firm Counterpoint shows that only 34 percent of the company’s total sales this year came from retail stores. In comparison, Samsung’s offline sales are about 57 percent.
