Speaking about the other recent updates concerning the upcoming smartphone, a variant of the Xiaomi 14 Pro(Presumably the Special Edition model) was tipped to have a titanium alloy middle frame along with a ceramic rear panel and a nano-ceramic glass cover on its display. The device is also expected to support satellite communication technology and is possibly going to come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.

The first look images of the 14 Pro smartphone were also revealed online, which featured the upcoming device in Black, Light Blue, Light Green, and White colors. Like the Special Edition model, the Xiaomi 14 Pro has also been tipped to have a titanium body and is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. A 5000 mAh battery, supporting 120W wired and 50W wireless charging features, is also expected.

Xiaomi’s 14 Pro smartphone has also been spotted on two official databases as well, and this includes the European EEC certification platform and the IMEI database.
