6000mAh that lasts under 10 hours? Who's to blame here, the battery or the chipset? The OS?
Personally I don't want to go back to the days when my phone battery would be drained within a day.

    Upgraded to realme 14 pro plus (India) from Xiaomi NE lite 11, for battery related (!same settings as before ), for first time 100% charge got a screen on time of @8 hrs highest ever, today at 80% battery 2 hours screen on time so far, all mixed usage, using as daily driver. Guess, gsmarena has a a defective unit or software update issue. my previous NE lite used give to 4+ screen on time.

      Realme 13 pro + is better except for the perf. Body of the r14 pro+ 163.5x77.3x8.0mm is too much especially the larger 77mm in the hand is not confortable

        Sorry GSMArena but I think there's definitely something wrong in your review or the unit you have has some sort of defect.

        I have the phone and I'm using it currently, battery life is actually great and the charger comes with the phone in the box and charges to 100% in 50-55 minutes.

        Your camera samples of the 2x zoom are so oversharpened compared to the photos it took.

        Performance is also better on my device (antutu score is over 820,000 much higher than your score - haven't used geekbench so not sure about its scores to be honest).

        Maybe you need to update the phone or review another unit.

          Renato Russo, 29 Jan 2025That camera module looks like a fidget spiner on the inside... moreThe fact that 6000 mAh battery with 80W charging takes over an hour to top up, just like 5000 mAh with 25W on Samsung side, is laughable.

          EDIT: Ignore that quote, not sure how it got to my post when I clicked to respond in general, not to that message in particular.

            That camera module looks like a fidget spiner on the inside. Weird stuff.

              Just watched 2 more videos on YT, even better those were battery comparison/drain test videos.
              And judging by what i saw this phone is a battery monster. Easily beats Realme GT 6T, OP 13R, Poco X7 Pro...

                JoXim, 29 Jan 2025There are 5 or 6 good reviews so far of this phone on YT th... moreAll reviewers who could very easily be paid by realme to say nice things about the 14 Pro+.

                  Chipset could be 7Gen3, not 7sGen3.

                    There are 5 or 6 good reviews so far of this phone on YT that i watched.
                    And all of the reviewers are claiming that the battery life is great on this one.
                    Maybe your unit had some sw/hw problem, i don't know, but big battery plus solid, not very demanding chip can not produce such a low score. Simple as that.

                      This smartphone could have been "perfect," but how can a 6,000 mAh battery be so mediocre ? Why did Realme miss the sound of the speakers ? Why not 4k@60fps, when even my old Xiaomi Mi Max 3 of 2018 is also perfectly filming in 4k@30fps, like this Realme with a much more powerful processor ? Voluntary clamping ? That's what I think. In short, a device that was narrowly missed, but still failed.

                        No HDR display, no app opening animation, no blur effect on notification/quick settings page on a 30000 rupees phone

                          What is happening to phones lately? They all have 6000mah batteries and worse score than last year. I thougt it was HyperOS but now Color OS too...

                                Battery life is just a joke. What have they done...

                                  Realme and their recycled software! Not a single effort to optimize their devices. Such a lazy team just focuses on quantity rather than quality. This would be the best software version available for the device after that every new update will make it worse!

                                    6000mAH Silicon carbon battery and you get less than 10hrs active use? Is realme going backwards?

                                      Why didn’t you ask Realme about the awful battery life? Shouldn’t you guys be at least curious as a tech reviewer? 🤷🏻‍♂️

                                        When will they fix the GPU info lol. Snapdragon 7s gen 3 has Adreno 810 GPU
