Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 14 series made its international debut this week by launching in India. The Pro and Pro+ models have the same hardware we saw in China, while the vanilla Note has a few changes. Which of these three appeals to you the most – and is it enough to motivate you to buy one?
Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 • Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro • Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+
We’ll start with the Redmi Note 14 Pro and Redmi Note 14 Pro+. They have the same display, 6.67”, 12-bit, 120Hz and the same IP69K dust and water resistance rating. The Pro+ model stands out with brand-name glass – Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and 7i on the back, unless you choose one of the vegan leather options.
The Pro+ also has a better chipset, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 vs the Dimensity 7300 Ultra, and faster UFS 3.1 storage (vs UFS 2.2), at least on phones with 256GB or more. It has a bigger battery with faster charging: 6,200mAh, 90W vs 5,500mAh, 45W.
Redmi Note 14 series at a glance
The last notable difference is in the camera. The Pro+’s 50MP main module (1/1.55″ vs 1/1.96″) has a larger sensor and a 50MP 60mm (2.5x) telephoto module. Both have 8MP ultra-wide and 20MP selfie cameras.

No surprise, the vanilla Redmi Note 14 is the cheapest model here. It has the same 6.67” display, albeit with a lower resolution than the other two (1080p+ vs 1220p+) and older Gorilla Glass 5. The chipset is also older, a 6nm Dimensity 7025 Ultra (the other two are 4nm chips). It also has a smaller battery at 5,110mAh – the difference comes from it having a standard lithium cell instead of a lithium-carbon battery. The camera is the same as the Pro model.
We’re already working on the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ review, so stay tuned for more details.
What do you think about Redmi Note 14 Pro+? This is the best equipped phone of the three, but it also costs extra.
