Both get a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for front glass protection and while the Pro Plus gets another Gorilla Glass 7i protection for the back, there’s none on the Pro. The Pro models are IP68/IP69K certified, meaning they are dust and water and heat-resistant.
The standard iteration also gets a same-size 6.7-inch OLED display and 120 Hz refresh rate but its peak brightness stands at 2100 nits short of the Pro models. For water and dust protection, it’s IP64 certified. The good thing is that Xiaomi is providing lots of value to customers with somewhat similar specs in the display and other areas while adding a few key selling points for senior siblings. All three phones come with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

About the global variants
The Chinese launch of the Reldmi Note 14 Series has already sparked speculations about its global launch and specification variations. You may have noticed that Xiaomi opted for all 5G phones for its RN14 Series. However, given that the network is not available everywhere, the Chinese OEM is likely to introduce a 4G phone. This could apply to the Redmi Note 14 and the Redmi Note 14 Pro models.
There are rumors that the Pro Plus phone could get a 200 MP camera for the global variant. Various outlets state that the top-end model could also skip the 50 MP telephoto lens for international markets. This could be down to the customers’ choice in the regional markets where larger MP are more preferable. Having more MPs also delivers more detailed photos useful for editing later. But for now, we can only wait on updates from Xiaomi for it. The global variants could launch late in 2024.
We expect the Redmi Note 14 Series to arrive at a similar price range in Nepal from the RN13 Series.
Our initial verdict
