"On the other hand, the international Redmi Note 14 5G is less fortunate, for reasons we don't quite understand"
Imo, they want to compete with Transsion in because last year Transsion dominate $150 price range. No UW, but a longer software support and faster chipset (Snapdragon 685 in Redmi Note 13 4G vs G99)

Well, let's see if they can even deliver that much. Hopefully it won't slow down the already not so fast phone too much.
Plus this device launched with Android 14, when it should've launched with Android 15, so really that's just 3 years of OS updates.

I honestly wouldn't recommend Xiaomi products, they are the manufacturers with the most planned obsolescence. I had a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, it turned off out of the blue in just two years, the card had been damaged. My friend bought some new Redmi Buds 4 Pro, out of the blue they sound very low, one more than the other, she had to buy others. I don't recommend Xiaomi because of my bad experience in general.

Great strategy to give your 4G model more software updates because people buying it would most likely update soon to a 5G phone. It's planned obsolescence and opportunitistic behavior at its most evident.

Anonymous, 17 Feb 20254G model getting more updates than the 5G one? Excuse me wut?Maybe because they will sell more of the 4G variant. Still... Weird strategy because software is the same 99%.
