Xiaomi’s latest release, the Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition, has gained immense popularity among consumers.
However, this high demand has caused scarcity in the market, leading to inflated prices in secondary markets by scalpers.
Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun, acknowledges the situation and is working to increase production.
The challenges in manufacturing this model stem from its use of titanium, a material known for its high cost and complex processing.
The Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition demands the utmost quality, with a remarkable 99% purity level, making it highly resistant to fingerprint marks, a feature that competes favorably with devices like the iPhone 15 Pro series.

Xiaomi’s User Operations Manager noted the initial low yield rate and limited supply but assured consumers that production will scale up.
Importantly, this phone is not a limited edition, suggesting that availability will improve, and consumers need not overpay in secondary markets.
Xiaomi’s overall sales have been robust, with the Xiaomi 14 series experiencing exceptional performance, achieving a sixfold increase in sales within the first five minutes compared to the previous generation.
The company has also been transparent about out-of-warranty repair costs for the Xiaomi 14 series, including the Pro and Titanium Editions.
These costs vary by component, with the Titanium Edition commanding higher prices for premium materials like the titanium frame and Dragon Crystal Glass.
It’s essential to note that these repair costs apply when the warranty does not cover the repairs, and under warranty, repairs may be free or at a reduced price.
Xiaomi 14 Pro Titanium Special Edition is available in the market at 6,499 yuan (around PHP50,000).
