Update: Xiaomi 14 has now bagged the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification in the country, as spotted by MySmartPrice. This is a good indication to suggest the launch of the flagship might be nearing. The BIS certification reveals the model number “23127PN0CG”. The ‘G’ at the end could be a representation of the Global variant. This is surprising considering the Indian models usually have ‘I’ at the end. Xiaomi might unveil the global model in India as well.
Original story: The Xiaomi 14 series, including the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro phones debuted in China last month as one of the firsts with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The company already confirmed these will expand to global markets as well. Now, a teardown of the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro hints they will be heading to India as well. The Xiaomi 14 Pro will come as a successor to the Xiaomi 13 Pro, which is available in India.
Xiaomi 14 series launching in India?
- Xiaomi 14 series teardown, courtesy of a Weibo user, shows the internals of both models, including the battery capacity, camera modules, motherboard section and more.
- Among the many regulatory texts printed on the back panel, one thing that caught our attention is the mention of ‘BIS’.
- For those unaware, BIS is a regulatory body of India that certifies electronic devices before they are launched.
- The mention of BIS and ‘R-number’ (which is covered) is a good indication to suggest that Xiaomi has plans to bring its latest flagships to the Indian market. However, the company is yet to mention anything about the timeline officially.
