New Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro: Xiaomi has passed the game (again) with the best mid-ranger of the year

Don’t worry, it’s not just your perception. Xiaomi releases many mobile phones per year. Some are worth it, others are reworks of older models, and many others are signed by brands like POCO. Today’s protagonists are Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro series three models which has just arrived in Spain after several months of sales in China. They of course replace the Redmi Note 13 Pro, and do so with a rather interesting list of features and complete aesthetic renovation.

And, as we saw a few months ago at the presentation in China, Xiaomi has decided radically change the design compared to the previous generation. Everything that used to be flat is now curved, including the screen. The side-mounted camera modules are now centrally located. When we talk about aesthetics, almost everything has changed.

However, this is not the nomenclature that Xiaomi usually follows for this series. The company has released 3 models that match the level scale that we have seen in previous years. Each of these is of course aimed at a specific type of user and represents a good range of options for all those who want a more ‘professional’ mid-range experience.

• Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro
• Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G
• Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G

Here are the three main characters in this article: although these are not the only mobile phones that the company presented. We also left you a report about the Redmi Note 14 (without the Pro surname), another about the new Redmi Watch 5 and the new Redmi Buds 6 Pro.

Harmonious design

The new design line that Xiaomi launched with the Redmi Note 14 Pro is present across all models. They are not exactly identical, but they have the same screen size, very similar dimensions, screen and curved back cover and very stylized frames that converge into a very thin metal side strip.

In fact, the biggest difference in design lies in the camera modules and the finish on the back panel. The base model of the Redmi Note 14 Pro uses a simpler frame for the sensors. while the level of detail and quality increases as Pro 5G and Pro+ progress. The same thing happens with the finishing: patterns and textures appear as the series progresses.

It is worth noting that Xiaomi has increased the level of protection on all devices. Offers IP68 certification in Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G and Pro+ 5G, and the most modest terminal integrates IP64. It’s not something very common, and it’s the detail that makes them one of the the most resilient mobile phones on the market.

Even though we are dealing with mid-range smartphones, it is noticeable that Xiaomi is putting more and more work into the design, getting dangerously close to the aesthetics of many high-end devices and having there are fewer and fewer things to envy.

So this is a new series where you have to choose yes or yes. curved screens. All models integrate it and offer the same level of curvature – a risky decision, and we’ll see how it works for Xiaomi.

Redmi Note 14 Pro has the same camera.

Unlike other previous generations, in this Xiaomi decided do not differentiate devices in photographic section. At least when we look at the main camera, the one that is located at the back and includes 3 sensors. They are the same in all three models: not a single change other than the aesthetics of the module.

In addition, Xiaomi has provided its photographic section good dose of AI to improve photos, brightness, digital zoom and some key aspects when recording video. This detail, combined with the high resolution of the main sensor, predicts good photographic results for this series.

The differences lie in performance and battery.

The similarities between the three devices end when we talk about performance, battery and fast charging. In these sections, Xiaomi wanted to differentiate them from each other in order to level up as the series develops. First, we will discuss which processors and memory are integrated into the Redmi Note 14 Pro.

There is also a significant difference in the battery and charging capabilities of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro. While the more modest model has more mAh, the more advanced device offers fast charging that will be the envy of many high-end users.

Also on a positive note for the 3 models: ALL turn on the charger Compatible with maximum boxing load.

Curved screens and similar

Finally, it’s time to talk about screens. Xiaomi has chosen two panels for these three devices. The most modest terminal remains the most basic, while the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G and Note 14 Pro+ 5G are more advanced in terms of resolution and capabilities. The matter remains the same.
