Then check it What found what tecmundo is Redmi Note 14 5g XiaomiMain positive points, warnings and the device is currently worth buying.

Design

Xiaomi encouraged good updates at Redmi Note 14 5G, apparently. Compared to the previous model, The device has more round corners and new colors. It is available in black, green and purple in Brazil.

The geometric aspect of the Xiaomi behind the mobile phone is a plus point. The camera module was also updated and grew further, he even remembered Pro Line’s iPhone. Even the “corners” of the phone are more round, which resulted in a very comfortable experience to use.

Redmi Note 14 5G, Gorilla Glass 5 and a flat pattern with a flat pattern and the back plastic. Another “emphasis” Certificate against IP64 water splashes: Expectation was a little better, because it is a more basic protection. On the other hand, Xiaomi promises more resistance in this new model.

The interesting presence of this device has a P2 connector for headphones, buttons at a comfortable height, the optical digital reader under the screen, and even an infrared sensor on top. It still has a hybrid input to use two carriers or microSDs without supporting Esim.

Especially with pleasant green color, we generally enjoy the design of this model. It is also relatively light, weighing about 190 grams. On the other hand, the camera modules are slightly exaggerated to the real size of the sensors despite the cool appearance of the unit.

Screen and sound

Xiaomi, compared to the previous version, some small screen improvements Troxs. Redmi Note continues with 14 5G AMOLED and 6.67 “Technology with full HD+ resolution and update rate ranging from 60 Hz to 120 HzIn addition to thinner edges.

What changes HDR10+ standard and peak brightness in real use of 1,200 Nit – Before HDR becomes 1,000 nit – or 2.100 nits. However, the performance of shine may be better: not exactly bad, but the screen is not exactly very bright and makes it difficult to read in open places and under the sun.

In addition, the screen is generally good. The update rate behaves well, colors are well represented and has a good pixel density per inch, which avoids having seril images and letters. For this price range, it is a screen that guarantees a good experience.

Another development in the sound system. It is now Compatible with Dolby AtmosBringing a stereo speaker system. This brought a balance not only in balance, but also in a very high volume. However, in this case, the sound tends to be flattened and is almost serious.

It should also be noted that it has an active “almost always” screen mode. This is because the phone can view the information for about ten seconds, and then re -display it if you add a touch to the screen.

Performance and Software

New Redmi Note 14 5G is a vehicle, but a balanced hardware. Running With 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, chipset MediaTek Dinensity 7025-Ultra. Differentials include MicroSD card support up to 1 TB and the use of more GB.A extra virtual memory up to 8.

The interface is Hyperos 1.0 based on Android 14. Redmi Note 14 5G Updated to Android 16 with four -year security updates – This is not a very comprehensive period and Behind competitors like Motorola and Samsung, For example, even on more basic devices, they offer more than that.

Xiaomi Continues to put many pre -installed applications on your mobile phones. You can lift them all, but Bloatware bothers you. Since there are several separate menus for something specific as setting the screen, the interface can also be a bit confused.

The company is also It brings some sources of artificial intelligence to the Redmi Note 14 line, but most of them are available only on professional models.. To support Google Gemini, for example, while the advanced pressure of images and articles is left out, the gallery object is a remover and leaves stains instead of objects or humans.

Although it is a remarkable update from one generation to another, the chipset is not exactly very fast. For daily use and focused on social networks, will not give headaches And COD: We have played a few games with good graphic quality like Mobile. On the other hand, it suffers from the immortal diablos and graphics in “ALTO”. In this case, the best option is to balance graphic quality and performance.

We still meet Various delays in system animations, opening applications and even camera accidents “Things that should deal with very well because it is a tool.” Something cool of this model is the cooling system. Even playing an hour in a row, you don’t notice the phone with heating problems. Other differences are unprecedented NFC support and 5G in this tested version.

Battery

Xiaomi also developed the battery of this new model. Currently, 5.110 mAh (110 mAh increase) and up to 45W loaders, while the previous one supports up to 33W).

This brings a “extra” gas to the phone, even though it is thin. In our routine, Redmi Note 14 5G was reliable when the battery was autonomy: what happened the most Start using your phone in the morning and 30% to 40% at the end of the day. However, it was also possible to be connected with it in almost one and a half use.

If you request a little more than the phone and use the cameras more, usually play on social networks, and if you stay, the average is very close to a few other models and only one day is used. For example, the average discharge with games was -14% per hour, which we observed in flow videos was twice as much.

The installation is not one of the fastest ones on the market, but it is very effective. A full load lasted an hour, but after 15 minutes, it gave back 31% of the energy, and after half an hour it was possible to get 60% of the energy back.

Cameras

The new Redmi Note 14 5G’s cameras are almost the same as the previous model. He has The 108 MP main sensor replaces the depth sensor for 8 MP ultra-operative and both 2 MP, a macro. The front camera went from 16 MP to 20 MP.

The sensors are good, but there’s nothing on it. The most prominent thing, with vivid colors and good details, maintains the sharpness and reduces the noise. The dynamic range is not very advanced, but more distant objects benefit from software improvements. HDR is also good, but with some inconsistencies as excessively exposed areas.

Taking photos using 108 MP results in good images, but the device sins in detail in medium or low lighting environments with a 3x digital zoom, a special button in the camera application.

Already the front camera is a reasonable standard for the price range without impacting. The images are softened without storing all the details of a photo. Some features are missing in the video recording. Redmi Note 14 5G can save up to 1080p with 30 FPS behind a few other devices shooting at 4K. You cannot change between sensors in the middle of a shoot.

The videos we made were on a good way to share on social networks, but there is a basic quality standard in this price range. Even the optical image stabilization in the main sensor helps, but especially it does not save the mobile phone at night.

Finally, there are some difficulties with the software: the camera application and even some videos appeared several times, and only a few clips were played only on the computer.

Is it worth it?

Redmi Note line is one of the most popular Xiaomi and the formula is well known. By taking the Redmi Note 14 series as an example, we have devices with different segments, but they all focused on cost-money. Redmi Note 14 5G brings a number of improvements compared to the previous generation of batteries, performance, screen and general features, with thinner progress in cameras and even design. However, it still sin in some angles.

The Xiaomi software is very good, but it is full of pre -installed applications that you can go quietly. Another negative point is to know that it will be updated in a shorter time than competition. We also have a price problem: the model suggested $ 3,000, but there is 12 GB RAM and 512 GB of storage for $ 3,700.

Despite the benefits, general performance can also affect consumer selection. In some cases, except for accidents, it was slower than a few competitors even in simple activities. For more general use, this is not very much affected, but may become a problem in the long run. Already the cameras on the set is just good and too insignificant and just register at full hd.

In this case, the most advantage is to expect it to be below $ 2,000. Otherwise, you’ll find the Galaxy A55 or Galaxy A56 in 2025 in addition to Motorola Edge 50 and Edge 50 Pro – all up to $ 2,500. On the other hand, if you prefer to bet on Redmi Note 14 lines, but if you need more performance, the best scenario will be to spend one more and invest in one of the professional models.
