Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G without Plus with weak chip

Technically largely identical and only slightly modified in appearance, the Redmi Note 14 Pro joins the 5G Plus model. It shares the display, camera, memory and battery with the Pro+. However, it has a slightly weaker chip on board, the MediaTek Dimensity 7300.

Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is also available in two storage sizes. Its price with 8/256 GB is 399.90 euros, for 449.90 euros you can get it with 12/512 GB of memory.

The third Redmi Note 14 Pro not only doesn’t have Plus, it doesn’t even have 5G in its name. It only works in LTE networks and hence is at a disadvantage compared to some cheaper smartphones. Xiaomi has fitted this model with the same camera as the other Pro models, but the display is the same size and has a slightly lower resolution (2400 x 1080 pixels) and doesn’t have the same brightness (maximum 1800 cd/m² point brightness). ). However, the OLED screen also supports 120Hz frame rate.

Xiaomi sells Redmi Note 14 Pro with 8/256 GB memory for 349.90 euros; There are currently no additional memory versions planned for Germany. Despite good features overall, it’s not particularly cheap for a smartphone without a 5G modem.

two smartphones without pro

Xiaomi offers two basic variants for the three Pro models. The Redmi Note 14 5G has the same display as the Note 14 Pro, but the manufacturer specifies a maximum brightness of 2100 cd/m² here. The biggest compromise compared to the Pro model has to do with the camera; It has a maximum resolution of only 108 megapixels and a less elaborate lens design with six instead of seven lenses. The Redmi Note 14 5G, which supports 5G but does not have an eSIM, also has an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle and a 2-megapixel macro. It is protected according to IP64, so it can withstand dust and dirt, but can only withstand splashes of water, not submersion.

Redmi Note 14 5G is priced at 299.90 euros, the smartphone is only available in 8/256 GB storage version. As with all new Redmis, in this case a charger with 45 W output is included in the scope of delivery.

The quintet is completed by the Redmi Note 14, the second model without a 5G modem. It also has a MediaTek chip, the Helio G99 Ultra, which can access 6 or 8 GB of RAM. Even the cheapest of the five models has an OLED display with 120Hz and 1800 cd/m² brightness. The 108-megapixel main camera is the same as the Note 14 5G, with the ultra-wide angle falling victim to a 2-megapixel depth camera. Curious: the weakest and cheapest new Redmi smartphones get the longest updates, namely six years of security patches and four new Android versions.

With a price of 199.90 euros, the version with 6/128 GB is the cheapest. For 229.90 euros you get the Redmi Note 14 with 8 GB of RAM instead of 6 GB, and for 249.90 euros the internal memory is also increased to 256 GB.
