Several months after it launched in China, the Xiaomi 14 series finally made its global debut in February.
The regular Xiaomi 14 is a worthy successor to last year’s Xiaomi 13, while the 14 Ultra is the first Ultra model to make it to Europe. However, there’s no sign of a 13 Pro follow-up outside China.
With the phones now on sale, here’s everything you need to know about buying one.
Best Xiaomi 14 deals in the UK
There are a couple of options when it comes to buying the Xiaomi 14 in the UK:
- Xiaomi – £20 off with on-site coupon
- Amazon – 12/512GB model only available used or at inflated prices, 12/256GB model unavailable
There are also two options for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra:
- Xiaomi – £20 off with on-site coupon, Photography Kit sold separately (£161.10 with on-site coupon)
- Amazon – £59.91 off
Neither of the Xiaomi 14 phones are available on contract in the UK, so you’ll have to buy one outright and pair it with a SIM-only deal.
Can you buy the Xiaomi 14 series in the US?
Xiaomi doesn’t sell any of its phones in the US, and that’s not changing for the 14 series.
However, it might be possible to import one from Europe, and it may still work with a US SIM card. However, this is by no means guaranteed.

When was the Xiaomi 14 series released?
The Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro were unveiled in China on 26 October 2023, before the 14 Ultra made its debut there on 22 February 2024.
Just three days later, on 25 February 2024, the regular 14 and 14 Ultra launched in Europe. They’re on sale now, having been released on 19 March.
However, the Pro model hasn’t yet launched in Europe, and the likelihood is that it’ll never be released outside China.
How much did the Xiaomi 14 series cost at launch?
Here’s a full pricing for the Xiaomi 14 and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in Europe:
- Xiaomi 14 (12GB RAM, 256GB storage) – £849/€999
- Xiaomi 14 (12GB RAM, 512GB storage) – £899/€1,099
- Xiaomi 14 Ultra (16GB RAM, 512GB storage) – £1,299/€1,499
Both are undoubtedly flagship smartphones, though the Ultra is up there with the most expensive Android phones you can buy.
