The Redmi 14R, which made its debut in China today, may appear to be a direct copy of the Redmi 14C from some time ago, but they are not competitors. The Redmi 14R 5G is a significant improvement over the original, which featured a terrible Helio G81 CPU, thanks to its Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip. There is a noticeable jump in performance.
Even though it wasn’t their intention, the Redmi 14R’s performance may even approach that of the mid-range class. This inadvertently occurs occasionally when firms attempt to expand their 4G phone lineup into 5G and are unable to locate a more affordable alternative SoC.
Apart from that, we have the same 6.88″ 720p LCD on top. Not even the colors or designs were altered. With a top refresh rate of 120Hz, the user interface will appear faster and more fluid. In addition to having an HBM of 600 nits, it also has a TUV certification for anti-flicker and low blue light.
Even though the Redmi 14C is speedier than the 14R 5G, there isn’t much of a price difference. However, be prepared to be astonished when we tell you that there are some areas where production costs were reduced. On Xiaomi’s new 5G smartphone, they reduced the resolution of the primary camera from 50 MP to 13 MP and the selfie camera from 13 MP to 5 MP.
You won’t need to plug in the Redmi 14R for longer than two hours thanks to the 18W charging speed but don’t expect a charger in the package. This device has a 5160 mAh battery, and for people’s privacy, a fingerprint ID has been added to the side. The Redmi 14C’s official starting price is USD 155 (around PKR 43,000), although that price only applies to 4/128GB of memory.
