Xiaomi 14 Arrives in the Philippines, Starts at Php 46k

Following its global unveiling at MWC 2024, the Xiaomi 14 arrives in the Philippines as the brand’s latest and greatest flagship. The Xiaomi 14 will have a starting price of Php 46k in the Philippines, which is Php 1k more expensive than the Xiaomi 13 at launch last year.

The Php 1k price hike is justified with the Xiaomi 14 getting a full camera makeover that consists of three 50-megapixel cameras–a first for the non-Pro versions of Xiaomi’s numbered flagship series. The Xiaomi 14’s Pro-caliber camera setup consists of a 50-megapixel f/1.6 main camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3.2x zoom. While the Xiaomi 14 Pro will remain exclusive to China, its only real difference from the non-Pro version is the variable aperture on the main camera. Otherwise, you are getting a solid setup with the Xiaomi 14.

Aside from the expected upgrades like a more powerful processor, the Xiaomi 14 will have more RAM at 12GB, and it can be availed with a 512GB storage variant. The display is brighter and has a higher resolution, and the battery is bigger and supports 90w charging. Overall, it’s ok for us if we’re only getting the Xiaomi 14 in the Philippines (still no word yet on the Ultra variant) since it has everything you’d expect on a 2024 flagship in a more compact form factor.

Here’s the official price of the Xiaomi 14 variants that are arriving in the Philippines:

12GB/256GB – Php 45,999
12GB/512GB – Php 47,999

Those who will pre-order from March 1 to 7 will get a Xiaomi Watch S3, while those buying from March 8 to 17 will get a Photography gift box. On top of those freebies, the Xiaomi 14 will also come with 6 months of Google One 100GB plan and an additional 1 year warranty with one-time screen replacement within 6 months of purchase.
