However, a Weibo post by the reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has sparked speculation about an entirely new Xiaomi model.

The Chinese market will see the Xiaomi 14 with the model number 23127PN0CC and the Xiaomi 14 Pro with the model number 23116PN5BC. For the global market, these devices are identified by the model numbers 23127PN0CG and 23116PN5BG, respectively. What’s interesting is that these smartphones are given abbreviated model names, with “N3” representing the Xiaomi 14 and “N2” representing the Xiaomi 14 Pro. Additionally, rumors suggest that the upcoming Xiaomi 14 Ultra will bear the model name “N1.” These devices are anticipated to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, potentially debuting in November.

However, a screenshot shared by Digital Chat Station hints at the existence of another device, labeled as the “N7.” This enigmatic device appears to be entirely new, as there are no previous generations associated with it. Speculation is rife that Xiaomi might be venturing into the clamshell foldable smartphone market with the N7, possibly introducing the Xiaomi MIX Flip. Nonetheless, further reports are needed to confirm the true identity of this mysterious N7 device.

In related news, renowned tipster Ice Universe has dropped hints that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra could see an early launch compared to its predecessor, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, which debuted in April of this year.
