Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is getting a major rival that could even add a feature or two
Details and images of one of the Samsung Galaxy S24’s key rivals have just leaked – and there could be an even more premium rival following hot on its heels.
The Xiaomi 14 Series is a direct rival to both the Galaxy S24 and to the iPhone 15, with a standard model and an Ultra version for power users. It’s expected to launch at MWC, but some key details have already leaked – including the pricing.
According to Dealabs, prices start at €1,099 (about £940) for the standard phone and €1,499 (£1,281) for the Ultra. However, another leak on Chinese social media predicts a lower price for the standard model of around £880 – which is still slightly higher than the standard Galaxy S24.
But of course price isn’t the whole story, and the specifications here are interesting – but for US and UK consumers, the OS may be a deal breaker.
Xiaomi has already announced that the OS will be Xiaomi’s HyperOS, which is built around Android 14 but is a highly customised version of it. The goal of HyperOS is to be a single app across the firm’s phones, cars and smart home products, but that may limit its appeal when it’s up against the best Android phones.
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy.
my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.
I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary.
