Design And Build Quality:

Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a flagship phone that takes aesthetics to a new level. The phone is made of aerospace-grade aluminium and comes in ceramic or vegan leather back finishes. It feels just as luxurious as any flagship. Its curved edges are perfectly integrated into its titanium frame, which makes it easy to grip despite its large size and heavy weight.

Durability is important to Bangladeshi phone users, who are concerned with long-term phones. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is used on the device's front to ensure scratch-resistance. The device is also IP68 dust and water resistant, making it perfect for Bangladesh's unpredictable weather.

The phone is well balanced ergonomically, despite its hefty module. This gives it an imposing identity. Its matte finish on the rear provides a good grip and reduces fingerprints, making it ideal for users who don't like to use a phone case. Xiaomi clearly put a focus on form and functionality, which is evident in everyday usage.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a premium-looking phone. Its rugged but refined design can also handle the daily wear and tear of Bangladeshi life. It's durable and looks great, whether you are at work or on location.

Display:

DisplayMate has tested the Xiaomi 14 Ultra with a 6.73" LTPO-AMOLED screen that features a resolution of WQHD+ (3200 x 1440 pixel) and a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits. This is one brightest display ever. This screen features a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, Dolby vision, for ultra-smooth navigation, crisp clarity, and cinematic color reproduction.

The color accuracy of the display is outstanding with DCI P3 coverage at 100%, TrueColor calibrated, and HDR10+. It scored A+ on DisplayMate's benchmarks with nearly perfect delta-E value, which makes it the color accurate display of 2025. Users in Bangladesh who watch Netflix or YouTube or participate in competitive gaming like PUBG or Free Fire, will see vibrant images and high contrast.

The adaptive LTPO technology allows for a refresh rate that can scale between 1Hz and 120Hz. This optimizes both battery life and fluidity. The display is legible even in direct sunlight, such as in Dhaka and Cox's Bazar. Thanks to adaptive brightness and peak nits.

The 1920Hz PWM is designed to reduce eye fatigue, which can be a problem for those who use their phones late at night. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra offers a superior viewing experience, rivaling Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, it is priced more competitively in Bangladesh.

Performance:

Xiaomi 14 Ultra powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 built using the 4nm TSMC Process, delivering a huge leap in performance. This phone, which comes with Adreno750 GPU up to 16GB of LPDDR5X memory and UFS storage in Bangladesh is an absolute powerhouse.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra scored around 2250 in Geekbench 6 (single core) and 6900 in Geekbench 6 (multi-core), which is higher than most flagships from 2024. It has a score of 1.9,000,000+ in AnTuTu version 10, making it perfect for heavy workloads, games, and creating content.

The performance in real-world is also excellent. Multitasking was tested with over 20 apps including Facebook Messenger WhatsApp Lightroom and TikTok. No frame drop or lag was experienced. HyperOS's Android 14 interface optimized the RAM management to ensure that background apps were kept in memory and app loading was instant.

Genshin Impact's gaming performance was stable for 30 minutes with 60fps at maximum settings. There were no signs of thermal throttle. Both Call of Duty Mobile and PUBG Mobile supported Ultra HD settings, with constant frame rates. The Loop LiquidCool System is responsible for thermal management, keeping temperatures in check even under Bangladesh's hotter climate.

The device is a real flagship when it comes to productivity. Whether you're editing videos on CapCut, KineMaster or Chrome or doing multitasking with Gmail, Chrome and Docs.

Operating System and User Interface:

Xiaomi 14 Ultra is powered by HyperOS. This new Android 14 interface replaces the MIUI. This change will bring a cleaner and faster UI to Bangladeshi users. It also brings refinements and improvements in the design of everyday usability.

HyperOS comes with a minimal aesthetic, more fluid animations and less clutter. Xiaomi's system has been streamlined, resulting in a noticeable improvement to app launch time and RAM efficiency. Even with background processes running, common apps such as bKash and Nagad run smoothly.

HyperOS's cross-device integration is a major feature. If you have a Xiaomi Smart TV, Xiaomi Watch or tablet in your ecosystem, HyperOS will sync and control them intelligently. The privacy dashboard and improved notification controls align well with Android 14's clean security UI, offering more control over permissions--relevant for security-conscious users in Bangladesh.

It also has a smart control centre that can be adjusted to fit the display. Xiaomi guarantees 4 years of Android major updates, and 5 years for security patches. This is a big plus for those who plan to buy the phone long term.

HyperOS is a refined evolution of Android that was built for power users. It delivers performance and stability customized to Bangladeshi lifestyles.

Camera:

Xiaomi 14 Ultra is equipped with a quad-camera system co-engineered by Leica.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a star in low-light conditions. Even in low-light conditions, the 1-inch sensor and advanced noise reduction deliver bright, crisp photos. The main sensor produced stunning images in Old Dhaka's low-lit area. There was minimal grain, and the colors were natural. Night Mode preserves details without overprocessing.

The video recording feature supports 8K resolution at 24fps or 4K in 60fps. It also includes Dolby Vision and 10-bit LOG, which is perfect for mobile filmmakers from Bangladesh and YouTubers. Cinematic video adds pro-grade filters and depth controls.

Batteries and Charging:

Xiaomi 14 Ultra comes with a silicon-carbon 5,000mAh battery that offers a higher energy density than standard lithium-ion batteries. The battery easily lasts for a whole day in Bangladesh, with social media, games, YouTube and 4G/5G usage. The phone's screen was on for over 7.5-hours in our mixed-use tests (50% brightness and Wi-Fi plus 5G with video browsing).

Charging is where it really stands out. The charger supports both wired charging at 90W and wireless charging up to 80W. With the 90W charger included, you can charge it from 0% up to 100% within 33 minutes. This is a big win for those who live in Dhaka and Chattogram, as they are constantly on the move. Even a quick 10-minute top-up gives over 40%, making it ultra-convenient for busy routines.

HyperOS' Battery Health Engine helps to extend the battery life, which is a great feature for those who plan on keeping their phone for many years. The reverse wireless charging (10W), which can be used to charge earbuds, or the phone of a friend is available.
