Xiaomi created quite a buzz with the launch of the first two models of the Redmi Note 14 series.
The Redmi Note 14 Pro and Note 14 Pro+ include significant improvements in design, durability and performance over their predecessors, the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro+.
However, it appears there will be more models to come, with successors to the Redmi Note 13 and Note 13 5G both expected at a later date.
But what do the Pro models bring? Here’s everything you need to know about the Redmi Note 14 lineup as it currently exists.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Redmi Note 14 release date, price, and specifications.
When will the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 be released?
Xiaomi officially revealed that the Redmi Note 14 Pro series in China on September 26, 2024. Interestingly, this was the same day that the Xiaomi 14T series was introduced to a global audience, although it was a separate launch.
However, only two models have been announced so far: the Redmi Note 14 Pro and Note 14 Pro+. If Xiaomi matches the previous generation, we should get a regular Redmi Note 14 (4G only) and Redmi Note 13 5G at some point.
Although this launch is initially aimed at the Chinese market, a global version is expected to follow in the coming months.
GSMArena reports that a global launch would take place in November 2024, but no sources are cited. This would be earlier than usual, so a more likely scenario would be the usual January/February 2025 launch window.
As a reminder, the Redmi Note 13 series was launched globally on February 1, 2024, after its initial launch in China on September 21, 2023.

The display supports 12-bit color depth, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Their displays also offer a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits.
Performance
The Redmi Note 14 Pro is powered by the Dimensity 7300-Ultra chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of UFS 2.2 storage.
The Pro+ model, meanwhile, uses the more powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, along with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of faster UFS 3.1 storage.
Cameras
The Pro+ model features a triple-camera setup that includes a 50MP OmniVision Light Hunter 800 main camera with f/1.6 aperture and OIS, a 50MP telephoto lens (2.5x optical zoom) for detailed portraits, and zoom 5x “lossless” digital lens, plus an 8Mp ultra-wide lens with a 120° field of view.

For selfies, both models have a 20MP front camera capable of recording 1080p videos at 60fps.
Battery and charging
The Pro+ model comes with a massive 6,200mAh battery, supporting 90W fast charging. It’s one of the biggest we’ve seen on any phone.
According to Xiaomi, this battery is designed to last four years of use without significant degradation and can operate even in extremely cold temperatures.
The standard Pro model has a 5,500mAh battery with 45W fast charging. However, neither phone offers wireless charging.
Software
The Redmi Note 14 series runs on Xiaomi’s HyperOS software, which replaced the previous MIUI but remains very similar. It’s currently based on Android 14, although the Android 15 equivalent could be available by the time it arrives in Europe.
Although Xiaomi did not reveal how long it will support the series, the Redmi Note 13 series offered three years of OS upgrades and four years of security patches. It’s likely to be the same thing again.
