Xiaomi is poised to unveil its next generation flagship smartphones right after the Qualcomm conference, according to a report from the Chinese portal Home page. The reveal would position Xiaomi as the first manufacturer to announce devices powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. The company plans a presentation on October 27, the day following the Qualcomm event, where the new generation of devices will be showcased. This timing suggests Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro will reach the market nearly a month earlier than the previous generation did. [Source: Home page]

Some rumors suggest the Xiaomi 14 Pro could sport a titanium frame and satellite communication capabilities. Additional insider chatter points to the standard Xiaomi 14 adopting a display with extremely slim bezels, potentially around 1 millimeter, a spec that could allow the model to surpass the iPhone 15 Pro in bezel thinness.
