    I have Redmi 10C since August 2022 and comparing the specifications, this Redmi 14C feels like a downgrade in comparison. In fact, the other Cs - 12C, 13C also feel like a downgrade in comparison.

    Snapdragon 680 with UFS 2.2 feels pretty fast. I can't find any meaningful comparison between it and Helio G81 Ultra, but I have a guess this one will have eMMC 5.1 too, which also makes it inferior.

    This is weird. My phone is soon going to stop getting updates and while it works as well as when I bought it, I have to think about either flashing a custom ROM after 2025 or buy a new phone, but if the successors are also downgrades, I may have to look elsewhere.

      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.
