Weekly poll results: the vanilla Redmi Note 14 emerges as the unlikely victor

19 January 2025
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ has potential, but its price makes it so that people want the certainty of good reviews. Also, Xiaomi might want to consider dropping the 4G variants.

            Good specs overall but no 4k video recording and OLED display technology is bad for the human eye. It should have IPS LCD screen. Then I would buy it. Right now it's a clear case of no buy!

              gsmarena insists on placing a winner in these polls, when more than 50% of voters indicate that "No, I prefer other phones"

              The Redmi Note 15 series should greatly improve the set of cameras, Android version of the year (not an old version from a year ago) and improve its hyperOS that consumes excessive battery and improve its launch prices.

              I have a redmi note 10 pro and I was excited to see the Chinese pro+ version go global, but this is a disappointment.

                Xiaomi has lost its vision. They should change their name as they are not the same company anymore.

                  Hanif Fikri, 19 Jan 2025It's meaningless to buy china phones global unit anymo... moreThe people that will get to enjoy those better specs are the Chinese people and the other people in any country that got the phone with the same specs as the Chinese version of the phone.

                  And also the very few amount of people who imports the phone from China and use it outside of China,if the phone shpports the network bands in their country.Chinese phones that are sold outside of China tend to be really cheap compared to their global versions.Well maybe not all countries will actually sell these phones in their country so if you're living in a country that sells these phones online then you'll have more options,if you know how to set the phone up first by changing the language to English or whatever language you're used to, downloading Play Store and Google-related apps through the system app browser inside that phone or maybe you can share those apps from your global phone to the Chinese one or maybe you can tell the seller to do that for you.

                    Redmi note series got so bad. Tons of bad phones at ridicously high prices. Xiaomi not providing charger too now? Samsung, google, apple, sony, motorola and now xiaomi... put the charger in the box where it belongs. I was okay with no headphone jack, but no charger in the box should be illegal

                      Difference between global and china version is so big that this looks like completely different device no thanks. Chinese one is better with much more battery,
                      There are honestly other much better phones to buy.
                      For exapmple Oneplus 13 for 700 bucks or 13R for 400 bucks.

                        They disappointed with note 4 line, specifically with reduced battery capacity and older android version, with basically 2 years of upgrades. Not to mention terrible battery life, removed charger in the box for Europe, marginal upgrades at the best and ridiculous high prices.

                          YourMother, 19 Jan 2025Unless they're launched in India, they get their origi... moreYeah.. Samsung going for silic battery by 2026 so it shouldn't be problem anymore and I hope Sony as well cuz their battery optimization is the best..Xperia 22 mark 6 with only 5k mah able to beats 99% 6-7k mah phones imagine Sony with 6k capacity

                            I mean, Note 14 5G is the one with complete package as much as expected from older Redmi Notes disregarding the prices compared to the other global version of Note 14 series (3.5mm jack and stereo speakers, microsdxc card slot albeit shared/hybrid, 5G, OIS, and so on).

                              The pricing for phone doesn't make sense, I can pay a bit more and get Samsung S24 FE with more upgrades, and 4 extra years of OS updates. Not to forget about the processor which is much faster in terms of cpu and gpu!

                                Tbh, it could be better to them to stick with redmi note 10 pro. Just swap the main camera and ultrawide, efficient screen, newest chipset , 3.1\ 3.0 ufs, upgrade min 8 gbram and new body design. This give customers confidence to upgrade. They lost in when they use curved glass and doing sidegrade/downgrade.

                                  Gnusmas, 19 Jan 2025indian versions are lowest qualityOh yeah, that too, they get the original China specs at the cost of build quality

                                    People don't like xaiomi phones anymore because of :
                                    1. Overpriced
                                    2. Buggy hyper OS.
                                    3. Unstable software updates.
                                    4. Ads.

                                      High Priced Unworthy Unreliable Notes. I don't understand why market is increasing prices despite being market coming back to the conditions before Covid - 19. Before Covid Time, Note Series had Pricing - Note 7,8 Under INR 10000 , Note 7, 8 Pro Under INR 15000 for all base variants. Now, considering 5G specs, Note 14 5G - INR 12,999 , Note 14 Pro 5G - 14,999 Note 14 Pro Plus 5G - INR 17,999 Why because you are using old low-cost processors and charging high money for only profit reason. Really I can't recommend anyone any Xiaomi or Redmi phone apart from Civil Series. Only if Redmi could work like old series like they used to give new processors in all series like Redmi Note 14 5G - 7250 + 50W , Note 14s 5G - 7350 + 55W , Note 14 Pro 5G - 7s Gen 3 + 60W , Note 14 Pro Plus 5G - 7 Gen 3 + 80W , Note 14 Pro Max 5G - 8250 + 90W , Note 14 Ultra 5G - 8350 + 120W, Note 14 Prime 5G - 7300 + 50W , Redmi 14 Power 5G - 7s Gen 2 + 6000mAh + 90W , 14 Power Max 5G - 7s Gen 3 + 7200mAh + 120W , 14 5G - 6300 + 45W, 14s 5G - 6 Gen 1 + 45W , 14 Prime - 6 Gen 3 + 50W,

                                        Why is the Redmi Note 14 5g global not available in the UK?, I need the sd card slot
