Xiaomi 14 Ultra Engineering Prototype Leaked: Striking Purple Glass Design, Sadly Not for Production

Recent leaks of an early Xiaomi 14 Ultra engineering prototype have sparked widespread attention, with the unique design captivating numerous netizens.

The prototype maintains a consistent design language with the production version of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, but boasts an eye-catching purple color scheme. While the design aligns with the production model, the distinctive purple coloring unfortunately won't be available in mass-produced units. Based on the specifications of the production version's Dragon Crystal Blue, the purple prototype is likely crafted from Xiaomi's Dragon Crystal ceramic material. This material is 50% lighter than traditional ceramics, weighing only 5 grams more than the Kona leather variant.

• The Xiaomi 14 Ultra engineering prototype is packed with powerful hardware. It features a 6.73-inch fully symmetrical micro-curved screen with a 32001440 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is powered by Qualcomm's third-generation Snapdragon 8 processor, supported by 90W wired fast charging and 80W wireless fast charging.

In terms of cameras, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra engineering prototype boasts a rear-facing Leica quad-camera system. The main camera utilizes Sony's second-generation one-inch sensor, LYT-900, featuring OIS optical image stabilization. Additionally, it includes a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 3.2x telephoto lens, and a 5x periscope telephoto lens, all employing the IMX858 sensor to ensure consistent image quality. Notably, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra engineering prototype also incorporates satellite communication functionality, becoming one of the world's first 5.5G-enabled phones.

Despite the prototype's purple color not reaching production, many users express regret over its absence, finding it visually more appealing than the current production blue version.
