Xiaomi MWC 2024 booth tour shot on Xiaomi 14

All Xiaomi goodness

Published

February 28, 2024

Show floors of tech conferences are pretty hectic. That’s especially true for a brand like Xiaomi who announced a bunch of truly interesting products at MWC 2024. Below is a quick look at what was on display on the brand’s booth, all shot on the Xiaomi 14.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra

Xiaomi’s latest and greatest smartphone can be equipped with a camera grip like its predecessor. Predictably, it was flocked by many curious journalists and content creators eager to show off the product.

The cameras have been the main selling point of these Xiaomi flagships even more so now after the company’s partnership with Leica. The Xiaomi 14, in particular, is being touted as a pro imagery flagship.

Here are the lenses its rocking:

50MP f/1.63 to f/4.0 Leica LYT-900 main camera with OIS
50MP f/1.8 IMX858 Leica floating telephoto camera with OIS
50MP f/2.5 IMX858 Leica periscope camera with OIS
50MP f/1.8 IMX 858 Leica ultra-wide camera with AF

It’s a fascinating product for sure especially if you check it out with its entire photography kit.

Xiaomi CyberDog 2

You’ve likely seen this on your social feed doing all sorts of neat tricks and what not. But what is it for exactly? Well, really, just that.

It’s designed to be a lower-maintenance pet without the hassle of dealing with potential allergies and customary trips to the vet. And no dealing with random ‘droppings’ too if you catch our drift.

It drew a significant amount of people doing everything from flips, running around, jumping, and even standing only on its two front feet.

Xiaomi Watch S3

The most stylish(?) of Xiaomi’s trio of wearables announced at MWC 2024, the Xiaomi Watch S3 was on display for everyone’s appreciation.

You can purchase it with different color straps and bezels so you can go all matchy-matchy or use different colors altogether for a more unconventional look.

On paper, it seems to be pretty much similar if not an improved version of Xiaomi’s Watch S series.

Watch our unboxing.

Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro

We don’t know much about this particular product. But if its predecessors are any indication, it’s another fine addition to Xiaomi’s reliable suite of Tablets. Something both for work and play.

Redmi Note 13 Pro, Redmi Buds 5 Pro

Redmi also had its own section in the booth. There you’ll find a bunch of Redmi Note 13 series smartphones on tap for everyone to play with.

Also on display are the Redmi Buds 5 Pro in three colors: White, Black, and Purple.

Xiaomi Grooming Kit

We all know Xiaomi is more than just the usual mobile phones and accessories. Also on display are its extended products like this Xiaomi Grooming Kit. It’s a fine collection of things to make sure you look sharp wherever you may be.

Xiaomi SU7

The real star of the booth, though, is something that Xiaomi announced earlier in the year – the Xiaomi SU7. It’s the company’s very own electric car.

On paper, the Xiaomi SU7 is positioned as a “full-size high-performance eco-technology sedan.” It aims to push the limits of performance, ecosystem, and mobile smart space.

It boasts of three Independently-developed motors: the HyperEngine V6, HyperEngine V6s, and HyperEngine V8s. Read more about it here.

That’s it for our quick go round at the Xiaomi Booth for MWC 2024. All the photos were taken using the Xiaomi 14. We kept the watermark so you know which mode and lenses we used for each shot.

Stay tuned for more on the Xiaomi 14 in the coming days and weeks.

F1’s Daniel Ricciardo spotted with an unreleased Beats Pill

LeBron James was also spotted with the same thing

In a world inundated with leaks, spotting an unreleased device out in the wild is less of a spectacle these days. However, there are still some sneak peeks that manage to catch our eyes. One such example is the sudden appearance of an unreleased Beats Pill in the hands of F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo.

A Beats Pill is not an easy speaker to find these days. After all, the company discontinued the last one back in 2022. Unless they particularly love old devices, it’s likely not a coincidence if a popular personality is somehow toting one out in public.

In preparation for the upcoming Miami Grand Prix this weekend, Daniel Ricciardo, who currently races for the Visa Cash App RB team, strolled into the paddock carrying a golden Beats Pill. It’s also interesting that the Pill is positioned perfectly to display the Beats logo.

As if that’s not a sure sign already, LeBron James was also spotted with the same speaker before a game back in April. Serendipitously, the pictured speaker swung perfectly to display the Beats logo in the NBA star’s photo.

Because Beats has not announced a revival yet, it’s difficult to see what the audio company has in store for its next portable speaker. However, one thing’s for sure: A new lanyard will make it easier to carry around. It’s also safe to assume that the device will come with USB-C this time around.

CASETiFY has introduced the Peach Haze Impact Case, offering customers a new protective case that suits the summer vibe pretty well. The brand has also released new Bounce Cases in Matte finish for those who prefer a simplistic, non-glossy look for their cases.

The Peach Haze Impact case retails for US$ 70 for the MagSafe compatible variant for iPhone 14 and 15 models. Meanwhile, the non-MagSafe case for iPhone 15 and Samsung S24 Ultra are priced at US$ 65 and US$ 70, respectively.

The new Impact Case is 16% slimmer and offers 8.2-feet drop protection. It is made partially from Re/CASETiFY pellets and 65% recycled and plant-based materials. Obviously, it has a refreshing and distinct peach-colored look for those who want to add style to their summer experience.

Meanwhile, new Bounce Cases are priced at US$ 90 and are available in solid purple, pink, and black matte colorways. They are available for iPhone 14 and 15 models and are wireless charging and MagSafe compatible. For those who want other designs, the case also comes in different prints and patterns.

These new Bounce Cases are likewise 16% slimmer, and offer maximum shock absorption from all angles. CASETiFY incorporated compression ribs on the corners of this variant to fortify the phone’s weakest spot. Considering most phone drops land on its corner, that’s a welcome innovation. The new corner design ensures users of protection even during accidental drops at up to 21.3 feet.
