Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G

Technical specifications

The phone is great on HyperOS 3, considering it is a mid-range device. The charging time with the included 120W charger, the very nice and bright display, the 200MP camera, and of course 12GB of RAM are impressive :) Admittedly, savings were made on the storage generation and battery capacity, but one must also take into account the fact that at the moment the device has practically everything when it comes to "peripherals", i.e. NFC, two speakers, two microphones, Hi-Res Audio also over BT, etc. Everything is therefore a matter of the purchase price, as the device is definitely worth recommending.

Comparing it with the Redmi Note 9 PRO, which is 5 years old and was basically used constantly until a week ago. Considering the age of the previous model, the battery in this one lasts just as long. It should offer significantly more, although there are cloned programs that were already on the 9. However, it is not particularly impressive, it is a pity that they abandoned the option of adding a memory card. They also removed the very useful 3.5 mm jack port. It is true that it operates faster and the camera takes much better photos, although a phone will always be a phone. It seems Xiaomi is now focusing on quantity. I will seriously consider changing the brand at the end of the contract.

I have had the phone since March 2025. From the beginning, it has been heating up and discharging on its own. I go to sleep at 22:00 with 100% battery, and in the morning upon waking up around 04:30, the battery level indicates 17%. After 3 days of use, I sent it to the service center (the seller would not accept a return); it returned to me after another 3 days with information that it is functional and no repairs were performed. In fact, for 2 days nothing was wrong, but after that time, it started heating up and discharging again. It looks like this: it works flawlessly for 3 days, and then for 4 days it heats up and discharges. I have not found the cause. Every day I delete junk files, close tabs regularly, and do not allow applications to run in the background. I do not know what the cause of these failures is, but they forced me to purchase another phone. Personally, I do not recommend it - maybe I was unlucky, or maybe every unit is like this. It is a shame, because it takes excellent photos and has great sound when listening to music and watching movies.

Generally, I have a positive impression of using this phone, but several drawbacks are also apparent.

Camera – it has one significant flaw: a large disproportion between the available resolutions. It is either 200 MP or approximately 12 MP or less; it is not possible to take a photo at an intermediate resolution.

Charging – the phone charges in an unpredictable manner with a charger purchased on Allegro. Although it is supposedly an original Xiaomi charger, the charger from the Poco X5 Pro charged it faster.

Lack of Android 15; the phone is currently on version 14 and not 15 as the description suggests.

I have been using it since September and compared to the Samsung S.. series, in terms of value for money, Xiaomi Redmi is the only choice.. I was not disappointed by the Redmi 11 pro back in 2019.. and this one is excellent for 30-40% of the price of a Samsung S.. the differences are minimal and money for two more Redmi phones would even be saved.. It is never worth getting a phone for 6,000 or 4,000 on a subscription or in installments.. A wonderful phone for little money. I recommend it to everyone!!

I am satisfied. I had the Xiaomi 11 Pro model, but after configuring and cleaning the software, there is almost no comparison, and the battery lasts for two days. I recommend it; the charger is fast. Using the 67-watt charger from the Xiaomi 11 Pro, the Xiaomi operates at full charging speed. Unfortunately, wireless charging does not work; it is possible that this model does not have it. The photos are fine, although there is a regression in the optics, perhaps because it is a Note. Regards.

I will put it this way: it heats up on Snapdragon (referring to 5 G). On the other hand, (4 G) on MediaTek does not heat up and the battery lasts much longer. I have these two phones, so I know what I am writing. My wife has the second one.

Please correct the specifications. I have this model and it supports infrared. Controlling devices via the infrared port works.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and best regards. (jf)

I bought the phone without checking the UFS memory. It is 2.2 memory. Unbelievable.
