After the launch of Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, I started liking Xiaomi series phones thereafter. Today Xiaomi concluded the announcement of Xiaomi 14 in India and will be sold by 5th March 2024 on amazon India, and it will also be launched in Nepal soon because Xiaomi had launched Xiaomi 13 Pro in Nepal.
In this article I am reviewing the Xiaomi 14 Indian variant. Since the Indian unit specs are also valid for Nepali unit specs, hence, you can easily relate to things.
