The Upcoming Redmi Note 14 series : Everything You Need To Know

It is the end of 2024 and we are getting better options to choose from in smartphones. Xiaomi swoops in with the Redmi Note 14 series to save your wallet with the ‘Note’ series, which is famous for its performance-to-price ratio.

Last time, Xiaomi introduced a curved display with the Redmi Note 13 series and before that, the brand brought a 200-megapixel camera to the budget segment with the Redmi Note 12 series.

The brand has revealed the smartphone’s special features in a poetic manner and most of the phrases you’ve heard a hundred times before: stunning displays, powerful processor, super cameras, super AI, super vision, super intelligence and super strength.

Hmm... sometimes we wonder, are they making just a smartphone or a super smartphone? Or creating the next Superman?

Of course, Xiaomi will release different variants of this series so that you can spend hours on their website deciding which one meets your needs.

Let’s dive into the expected features of the Note 14 series, launched just a couple of months after its debut in China.

Redmi Note 14 series models

Xiaomi has a habit of keeping fans excited with its Note series and it’s easy to spot a trend in how they do things. Each launch usually includes three variants: the standard Note, the mid-tier Note Pro and the top-of-the-line Note Pro Plus.

The naming style of Xiaomi is simple, clean and effective. The base model is the 'Note,' which is the most budget-friendly option and it is perfect for those who want great features without spending too much. After that, the Note Pro comes in the action, which sits comfortably in the mid-range segment with a balance of performance and price. Finally, there’s the Note Pro Plus, the most premium variant, designed for those who want the best of the series.

With the upcoming Note 14 series, it’s safe to guess that Xiaomi will stick to this winning strategy. We’re likely to see three familiar names: Redmi Note 14, Redmi Note 14 Pro and Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus, each catering to a different set of users.

Redmi Note 14 series features explain

Xiaomi has already launched these smartphones in China and the brand won't make big changes in the Indian version of these smartphones. The phones are likely to come with almost the same features. So, on this basis, we can get an idea of what the brand is going to serve us.

One thing is sure: the brand is going to club this phone with advanced AI features. Even the phone’s tagline reads “Super Camera Super AI.”

Redmi Note 14 series specifications

The Chinese version of the Redmi Note 14 comes with a flat OLED 6.67-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Xiaomi has protected the display of the Note 14 with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and the displays of the Note 14 Pro and Note 14 Pro Plus with Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The base Note 14 is IP65 rated, whereas the Pro and Pro Plus models are IP68/69 rated.

Inside the body of the smartphone, all three phones are running on Android 14 software. It will be interesting to see whether Xiaomi will still use Android 14 or Android 15 out of the box in the Indian variants. The brand will certainly use the HyperOS skin based on Android.

In terms of processing power, the Note 14 has a 6nm-based Dimensity 7025 Ultra chipset. The Note Pro is expected to come with a 4nm-based MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor and the Pro Plus model will feature the 4nm-based Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor.

While the main cameras may have the same resolution, they will feature different sensors.

Xiaomi is expected to fit a 5,110mAh battery in the Redmi Note 14 model with a 45W wired charging solution, a 5,500mAh battery with a 45W charger in the Redmi Note 14 Pro model and the biggest 6,200mAh battery in the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus variant with 90W charging support.
