As you can see from the breakdown, there are not many drastic differences when comparing the specs of the two phones. The Xiaomi 14 is a lighter phone with less battery life and a slightly smaller screen. While it enjoys Leica integration, the Xiaomi 14 uses Xiaomi’s own image sensor, and comes with a square-shaped rear camera set-up.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra gives buyers a bump in both RAM storage and battery life but is a little heavier. It has a large circular rear camera set-up, giving the phone a more stylish and premium look.

Both smartphones use the same chipset and OS.
