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.
