Both Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro Max are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.
Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro Max is 7% cheaper at 121,000 DZD versus 130,000 DZD for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro Max posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.
