Launched in India for ₹99,999, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has drawn a lot of negative comments on X because of its excessive cost; many buyers would rather have Samsung or Apple for luxury handsets. Citing brand impression and resale value issues, a hypothetical poll revealed 73% of respondents reluctant to purchase over ₹80,000 for a Xiaomi phone. Longer software support and better resale value from rival flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Plus help to fuel more negative reaction. Though Xiaomi India’s CMO defends the price, internet criticism is still significant; consumers of the 14 Ultra claim it is “overpriced for a cheaper brand.”
