Xiaomi has recently introduced a new model to succeed the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus, which is currently priced at $379.49 on Amazon. This new version will not be available internationally until December 9, when it launches in India alongside the Redmi Note 14 and Redmi Note 14 Pro. To build excitement, Xiaomi is releasing teasers on social media that showcase various hardware features, including the Light Hunter 800 and 50 MP telephoto cameras.
Water Resistance Differences
Interestingly, Xiaomi has indicated that the international version of the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus may have lower water resistance compared to the model sold in China. The global variant is expected to be IP68 rated, similar to its predecessor. In contrast, the Chinese version boasts IP69 certification, making it one of the rare smartphones with such high water resistance. Notably, even the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro do not have IP69 certification.
Clarification on Certification
Moreover, Xiaomi's microsite for the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus previously suggested that the device only meets the IP68 rating for protection against water and dust. However, the company has now confirmed that the global version will indeed be IP69 certified, claiming it's "designed to handle the extreme." Putting marketing claims aside, this means the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus should be able to endure conditions like exposure to hot water or withstand high-pressure jets without suffering damage.
