Realme 14 Pro+ hands-on

18 December 2024
Realme hosted a preview of its new model, which has a unique feature - it changes colors when it gets cold, so we dunked it into an ice bath to test.

I have to admit that the camera light setup and colors are quite innovative. Could see that maybe being adopted by others if it works.

      Are you 100% sure about that?

      How do you like the fact that Realme removed fastboot mode and now you cannot simply unlock the bootloader anymore by typing fastboot oem unlock.

      Now you need to install their deep testing app if you want to unlock your phone. And most of the time that app doesn't even work because the servers are down.

      What does all this mean you may wonder? Well it's simple.
      Now you cannot even ROOT your realme device and you cannot even flash a custom ROM if you've had enough of the preinstalled standard Realme UI user interface.
      Are you still happy now? Do you still like everything about this phone? I strongly doubt it. And there are many missing features too!

      With Xiaomi you don't have this problem. Xiaomi always allows you to unlock the bootloader and root the device or even flash custom ROM. That's why Xiaomi is simply the best of them all and you know it!

              Q, 20 Dec 2024Why is realme mum about battery capacity?Because they lie about battery capacity depending on the market. Its a company that does not restrain from marketing completely different numbers for the same specs depending on the market and its regulations. Thats how you have same products with same "real" batteries and charging speed, but in some markets it will be 5400 mah and 100w and in others 5100 mah and 90w. And lets not forget their marketing trickery to begin with which they use always, like for example claiming to have 6000 nits display when samsung, the actual producer, claims its a 2000 nits display. Only if someone complains would they come out with some "explanation" which usually is "we are measuring that like noone does in the industry and thats how we get the preposterous numbers". Awful company.

                          Yeah none of those cameras looks like a periscope

                            Symmetrical bezels look great all around.
