The story of the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus and its IP rating outside of China is still unfolding. To summarize, Xiaomi offers the device with an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance in China. This means the phone should be able to endure exposure to hot water and high-pressure water jets without facing any damage.
Confusion Over International Release
At first, it looked like this level of protection wouldn't apply to the phone's global launch. It appeared that Xiaomi confirmed the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus 5G would only have an IP68 rating, similar to its previous model (currently $377.50 on Amazon). However, they later stated that the device would come to India with an IP69 rating, boasting that it is 'designed to handle the extreme'.
Unclear Water Resistance Levels
Sadly, the precise level of water resistance that the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus provides is still uncertain. Xiaomi has recently stated that IP69 is 'supported', but with specific terms and conditions attached. Strangely, the company has not detailed what these conditions are or where they can be located. In fact, the product listing for the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus only mentions the IP68 certification. This means there's no assurance that the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus is as water-resistant as Xiaomi has often suggested.
Xiaomi’s communication on this matter has been quite perplexing, leaving potential buyers in a bit of a muddle.
