The Redmi Note 14 Pro has now been introduced alongside the Redmi Note 14 5G and Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus 5G during an event in India today. It's been rebranded as the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G due to an upcoming 4G version. This new model seems to match the key specifications of the one that Xiaomi has been selling in China since late September.
New Features and Improvements
To put it simply, the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G brings updated hardware that enhances the display and battery life. The new phone boasts a peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits, a significant improvement from the 1,800 nits of its predecessor. Additionally, Xiaomi has upgraded the battery from the 5,100 mAh found in the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G to a larger 5,500 mAh silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery.
Charging and Performance
However, it’s important to note that the new model supports 45 W wired charging, which is lower than the 67 W charging speed of the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G (currently priced at $289 on Amazon). This means that the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G might require more time to fully charge compared to the previous model. Nevertheless, it includes some impressive upgrades, such as the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra chipset and a primary camera from Sony, the LYT-600.
Camera and Pricing
Additionally, the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is equipped with a new 20 MP front camera that utilizes an OmniVision OV20B sensor; you can refer to our original article for more technical information. Although Xiaomi hasn't revealed the pricing for every market, the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G will be available in India starting at INR 24,999 (approximately $295) for the variant with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. For those wanting more space, a model with 256 GB of storage can be purchased for an extra INR 2,000 (around $24), and customers can still pick from color options like Ivy Green, Phantom Purple, and Titan Black.
