## Xiaomi 14 Series Launch Date and HyperOS
According to a leaked image, the Xiaomi 14 series will launch on October 31 in China alongside the debut of HyperOS 1.0. However, the source of this information is not confirmed, so it should be taken with caution.
## Xiaomi 14 Series Details
Xiaomi has already confirmed that HyperOS will be introduced with the Xiaomi 14 series. Evan Blass, a reliable tipster, also mentioned that the Xiaomi 14 series is close to its launch. Both the standard and ‘Pro’ variants will feature brand new Leica Summilux lenses, which are said to be the best the company has ever used.
## Design Updates
Renders of the Xiaomi 14 Pro showcased flatter sides compared to the previous model, along with rounded corners and a different camera island on the back. The display of the phone will be flat this time, with thin bezels, and a display camera hole located at the top.
## Camera Improvements
The Xiaomi 14 Pro may continue using the 1-inch camera sensor from Sony found in the Xiaomi 13 Pro. It is hoped that Xiaomi will also add variable aperture for improved camera performance. Currently, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra offers a 2-stop variable aperture, while Huawei goes up to a 10-stop variable aperture in its flagship smartphones. However, it is rumored that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will not be launched alongside the other models, but rather next year.
