Rumors have emerged regarding a new Xiaomi device, known only as the “N7,” which is said to be part of the company’s upcoming lineup. A recent report revealed the model numbers for Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro smartphones, expected to launch later this year in China. In addition, a Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station hinted at the existence of an entirely new model.
The Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro are said to
feature model numbers 23127PN0CC and 23116PN5BC for the Chinese market,
respectively. For the global market, these devices are identified by model
numbers 23127PN0CG and 23116PN5BG. Interestingly, these smartphones are given
shortened model names, with “N3” and “N2” representing the Xiaomi 14 and 14
Pro, respectively. The upcoming Xiaomi 14 Ultra, on the other hand, is rumored
to have the model name “N1.” All of these devices are expected to be powered by
the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, slated for a potential November debut.
However, a screenshot shared by the
tipster reveals another mystery device with the shortened model name “N7.” This
device seems to be entirely new, as there are no previous generations
associated with it. Speculation suggests that Xiaomi might be entering the
clamshell foldable smartphone market with the N7, potentially introducing the
Xiaomi MIX Flip. However, it is advised to await further reports to confirm the
identity of this enigmatic N7 device.
In related news, renowned tipster Ice
Universe claims that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra could see an early launch compared to
its predecessor, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, which debuted in April this year. This
hints at the possibility of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra making its appearance in the
first quarter of 2024.
