Smartphone enthusiasts in India looking for a modern device with a high IP69 rating and a 6,000mAh battery might want to check out the OnePlus 13, which is now priced at a minimum of INR 69,998 (~$812) as of today, January 25, 2025. Alternatively, there’s the Realme 14x, which offers similar features at a much lower cost.
Device Specifications
The Realme 14x has also launched in Malaysia, although it’s not the same version that appeared in other markets earlier. It features a 120Hz Eye Comfort display and dual cameras on the back, all wrapped in a sleek “Minimalist” design similar to the Samsung Galaxy S25. However, it lacks the IP69 rating and the “Diamond Design” flair found in the previous models, opting instead for a slim, iPhone-like style.
Performance and Features
While the 14x maintains its “Military-Grade Shock Resistance” for the Malaysian audience, it no longer claims to withstand extreme conditions, like being submerged in 85°C water. The marketing now emphasizes “5G for Everyone,” powered by the same Dimensity 6300 chip as its Indian counterpart.
Battery and Pricing
The battery has taken a hit as well, dropping to 5,000mAh and offering only 15W charging through USB-C, a far cry from the 45W charging of the original 14x. On a brighter note, it comes in a new exclusive Peridot Green color for customers in Malaysia, alongside the classic Carbon Black option.
Both variants feature 8GB of RAM paired with 256GB of internal storage, unlike the Indian version which starts with 6GB. In Malaysia, the price is set at 1,099 Malaysian ringgit (MYR, or ~$251) through Realme’s TikTok shop, while the Indian edition of the 14x is available starting at INR 14,898 (~$173) on Amazon.in.
