Friends, this is the Redmi Note 14. I must say, 4-5 years ago, there was the Redmi Note series. Wow! Fantastic specifications! Now, the Pro Plus, which is priced at Rs 30K, is in a different category. It's not that typical Note series. I've made a video on the Pro Plus; do watch it if you haven't. But this is the base variant. And the rest of the brands are doing really well in this price range. It's priced at Rs 13-14K. And the base variant is coming in the range of Rs 15-16K. In that price range, if I talk about Motorola, Realme's P series, Narzo series, Poco & iQOO. They've launched good phones in the range of Rs 10-15K. But this Redmi Note 14 doesn't match with them. It's possible that it'll come in the range of Rs 10-11K.

Then the story is different. But this Redmi Note 14 is coming in the range of Rs 12-13K. It's a little underwhelming, and I'd say it gets lost in the crowd. First, there's a sim card tool, there's documentation, but I won't talk much. There's a TPU case, but it's a little different. And if I talk about the Pro Plus, it looks different. The camera module is in the middle, and the case is bigger. The phone feels different. The Pro Plus was hefty and heavy. This feels lightweight. There's a 45W charger and a USB Type A to Type C charging cable. Last time it was a 33W charger; this time it's a 45W charger. It can't compete with other phones. But if I compare it with the Redmi Note 13, there are upgrades. There's a flat AMOLED display. But look at the design. The Pro Plus and Redmi Note 13's design is very unlike the

Note series. It's more like iQOO or Realme, which does a lot of experiments & designs. The back is a plastic back, whereas the Pro Plus has a glass back. There's Gorilla Glass 5 protection from the flat side. There's a 3.5mm jack & all the ports & buttons are present. So, it's not bad at all. The display is 6.67'' FHD, 120Hz AMOLED, B-SIM. The display is good in this price range. And the brightness of the display has increased from 1000 nits to 2100 nits. If I talk about the specifications, I'd like to talk about the processor. It's the 7025 Ultra. It's the upgraded variant of the 6080 processor. It has 6GB RAM, 128GB RAM, 8GB RAM, 12GB RAM, 256GB RAM. We've ordered it from China.

It'll be available in India with different variants. I'm hoping that it'll launch in December-Jan. So, that's what it is. The battery is 5110 mAh with a 45W charger. It has a 4.5L AnTuTu score, LPDDR4X RAM type, UFS 2.2 storage type. It's not an out-and-out gaming phone, but you can play games at 40FPS on smooth settings. I'm not going to talk about the OS, but there's going to be a HyperOS. Like I said in the Pro Plus video, if it's going to launch after 2 months, then it'll be really nice if there's a HyperOS on Android 15. But yes, there's a HyperOS on Android 14. Sensors are all in-display fingerprint sensors with face unlock. They work well, absolutely no problems. Connectivity, we'll talk about it when we get 5G bands in.

India. It has Bluetooth 5.3, dual band Wi-Fi & IR blaster. We're going to talk about the camera, but before that, let's do a drop test. Yes, that will be fun! This is light, the Pro Plus was 212-213g, it looked heavy & hefty with a 6200 mAh battery. This is light, it's around 186g. It's 190.5g, so again, there's a 4-5g difference, but it's decent. I won't say it's too heavy, nor too light. How's the Gorilla Glass 5? 1, 2, 3, Boom! It's dancing! No, there's absolutely no problem. It's plastic, so it shouldn't be a problem. Ok. No. Let's talk about the cameras. I was saying that they should've done something here. They could've given an ultrawide camera, but they didn't.

It has a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. But yes, it has a Sony LYT600 primary sensor, which is supported by OIS. It has a 16MP selfie sensor; there are decent photos. I'm giving you the G-Drive link. But when it comes to India, there might be some changes in the optimization. I can't say the colors right now, but there are decent first impressions. The only complaint is that it should've been ultrawide. 50MP plus 2MP just doesn't make the cut. If you're giving Rs 12-13K, then it should've been ultrawide. Because remember, it'll launch after 2 months, and it'll run for the entire next year. I mean, at that time, for Rs 20-25K, 50MP plus 2MP doesn't cut it. Talking about the video graphics, it shoots full HD 30FPS videos.

So yeah, that's there. There's no 4K here. But yes, like the Note 14 series, the focus is on durability. Like I said, there's Gorilla Glass 5 protection along with IP64 certification. If I look at this phone, it's not bad or outstanding. It's kind of average. In fact, I'm expecting more out of the Redmi 14 than the Note 14. I can see more interest in it. What do you think? Do comment below. And as I said, when it launches in India in 1-2 months, the video will be out. So do subscribe for that. That's all for this video. Until the next one, Keep Trakin & Stay Safe!
