Redmi 14C debuts with Helio G81 Ultra chipset, 120Hz LCD

30 August 2024
It also gets a 120Hz refresh rate, a slightly larger battery, and a 13MP selfie cam.

Sort by:

God damn they should stop using those chips like 10 years ago as even if it was from 2020 its still use 10 years old technology inside... buying that phone today is like shooting yourself in foot, behind your knee and you have your head on it...

    Xiaomi be like:

    Upgrade the hardware ❌
    Change the design ✅

      Bosic012, 31 Aug 2024I don't like the design.The design is lot like Oppo Reno 12F.

        I bet camera bump doesn't need to be this big. At very least it doesn't need glass other than right in front of lenses. Popup cameras were criticized for adding weight, but enormous camera bumps probably add just as much.

          what's more terrible is the 2 year old redmi 10c (sd680 + ufs 2.2) will still gonna be more faster than this fancy paper weight

                I feel bad for the Xiaomi/Redmi employees who probably love making cool tech but have to waste their time designing soulless e-waste like this

                      the latest sd on redmi , first sd 7** phone in the world :D gone are the days . kind of hard to innovate isn't it , xiaomi ?

                        Poor specs, garbage 🗑️

And it can charge 45W!

                          It's getting really hard to overlook Transsion's efforts

                            I don't like the design.

                              Itel S23+ comes with 8GB/256GB, FHD+ curved AMOLED display protected with GG5, decent main and selfie cameras for around 160 dollars on Aliexpress, while the expected price for Redmi 14C is roughly the same.

                              Xiaomi executives are probably laughing beforehand of those thinking to buy such bad phone like Redmi 14C. As you said, they used to be THE best option with their budget phones, but they are more interested in exterior aestetics, recycling old e-waste while focusing their relevant inovations to more expensive phones.

                                      Remember when years ago, crappy entry level Samsungs and Motorolas that could barely run Android made people go and get a Redmi that would blow them out or the water

                                      Now it's the Redmis that can barely run Android, and Xiaomi still has the guts to shove HyperOS on top of it.

                                      It's 2010s Samsung all over again. Terrible hardware for the price, a bloated skin, and a billion variants of the same device with minimal changes.

                                        Waiting for the time they return to form with a snapdragon processor like back in the 10c times instead of this mediatek crap.
