Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Note 14 in India, marking the smartphone's first international debut. Initially, the device was revealed in late September, but only for the Chinese market. The global version of the Redmi Note 14 features some hardware modifications compared to the version sold in China.
Global Version Details
Similar to the Redmi Note 13 5G (currently priced at $219.50 on Amazon), Xiaomi has appended '5G' to the name for its worldwide release. While the company hasn't officially stated this, it seems likely that this change is made in anticipation of future releases of 4G versions, like the Redmi Note 14 4G and Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G. Regardless, the Redmi Note 14 5G available globally shares several hardware components with the model exclusive to China.
Camera Upgrades
In a notable update, Xiaomi has included a third rear camera, which is an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle lens featuring an f/2.2 aperture and a 21 mm equivalent focal length. Additionally, the front camera has been upgraded from a 16 MP to a 20 MP variant, which supports up to 1080p video at 30 FPS. However, Xiaomi has removed the 12 GB RAM option for the international variant of the device.
Pricing and Availability
Consequently, the Redmi Note 14 5G will launch at a price point of INR 18,999 (~$224) for the version with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with pre-orders commencing on December 13. Alternatively, options with 8 GB of RAM come with either 128 GB or 256 GB of storage, priced at INR 19,999 (~$236) and INR 21,999 (~$260), respectively. All memory configurations will be available in three finishes: Mystique White, Phantom Purple, and Titan Black. For additional information, check Xiaomi's official website.
