Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G smartphone, 8+256GB, Green, 200MP pro-grade AI camera, IP68, 45W turbo charging with 5110mAh battery, AI features(no charger included), 2 year Warranty

I've had this phone for a month now and I am extremely impressed with the quality and value for money. It is quick and responsive and holds it's charge really well. The camera is easy to use and zooming up to 20x was more than I hoped for. The phone also feels quality in your hand and it was even mistaken for an Apple! With 256gb it is ample for my needs.

Good budget phone, easy to set up and it works well.I actually bought for my wife as a second phone because she doesn't want put so much pressure on her iPhone 16 pro max . Good value for money and the camera quality, screen and battery are all good.

What a beautiful phone.. having now moved onto my third phone from this brand, I have been very impressed with them. My last phone was the note 11, which I thought was fantastic with its 67 watt charging. And to be fair the battery always lasted all day for me, so never really needed it. But was always nice to know that I could boost it back to full if I was going out for the night, while I was getting ready. So with it being so good I never needed to update to a newer model, until I see the specs of the Note 14 and wanted it regardless.. and boy it is wonderful.. the exact model I got was Redmi Note 14 Pro+. 5G, it has a 200MP camera, which is blisteringly fast in response time and comes with a lot of AI integration if you want to play around with the pictures, not really my thing. It has a lot power under the hood, which I think is complete overkill for phones, but that seems to be standard these days. And it comes with 120 watt charging which I have not yet put to the test, but must admit the battery drains faster than all my other phones, but guess that is due to the amount of power this thing has. The phone is very slim and light, it looks and feels so beautiful in the hand. I noticed quite a lot of people eyeing it up the other day on the tube into London. It’s screen being so bright and with the curved glass could be seen by all around(it reminded me of an old Samsung model I had which had a curved screen and was also very slim and light), as normal Redmi sends out the phones with a case and screen protector already fitted. Which can save quite a few pounds and pain in fitting. There is so much I could rattle on about this phone but don’t want to regurgitate what is already out there. I will just mention in case people can’t find it in the specs, it is dual sim, and it does support e-sim as 1 of the 2sims available, which is great for using abroad. I also noticed that the signal seems a lot stronger in this phone with me even getting a signal on the central line tube network. Which I never got with any other phone before. So overall, I think this is a fantastic phone and can only be beaten if they add wireless charging.

TLDR; Good phone for bellow £250, better than Samsung A55.I bought this phone for my GF, she was using Samsung A55 before that one and it was a nightmare due to software problems (not a single unit problem as my mother's A55 is experiencing same problems) but I'm not there to write about A55 problems.Phone is not lightning fast, if you have used flagships before you will notice it, but if you move from other mid range or budget range phone you will be fine.Main camera is good, even very good just don't use x0.6 or x2 they are basically trash.Battery is just fine, it's same as my year old Xiaomi 14 which is 500mah less or even more due to age therefore it could be better, it will last you a normal use day if you spend a lot of time on social media you might need to charge it half day.Build quality is very good, premium screen glass, metal frame and plastic back, nothing to pick on there it should last.Screen is another strong point of this phone, it's a good bright OLED panel with tiny bezels, colours are not incredible but are decent, it's not LTPO therefore it won't change Hz smoothly down to 1Hz but will jump between 60 and 120Hz when you need it. Curved sides might a plus for ones and minus for others, I myself prefer flat screens due to smaller chance of cracks if phone is dropped.256GB of ROM is a minimum I think a daily phone should have these days and I have no idea why other companies still offer 128GB for any device above £50, okay if you use cloud for you photos and videos and only use couple apps 128gb should be okay but if you plan to have a lot of apps, pictures and videos for instant access offline on your device 256GB is ideal (obviously everyone's storage usage will be different so everyone should know how much they need).8GB of Ram is slowly becoming outdated, don't get me wrong for normal daily tasks it's enough but let's be realistic Ai is being implemented into everything these days and Ai tasks require more Ram and 8GB is just not enough for heavier Ai tasks. Yes you can use ROM to expand it by another 8GB but it's so called memory swap and it's neither fast or good for your phone storage.Long story short: got it for my girlfriend as her A55 was going nuts, she is not disappointed and even consider this phone a upgrade, I will order second one for my mother as well.

Impressed so far... I had a Redmi 10 Pro before so I was used to the interface. Transferring stuff from my old prone to the Redmi 14 Pro+ was a breeze. It is noticeably faster. I does come pre-installed with a lot of apps I won't use. It was easy to remove some and those I couldn't I just lumped in a folder on my screen. I've not played with the camera yet. I do highly recommend this phone. It feels great quality. The body seems better. The older one had a glass rear that cracked easily on dropping even when within a case. Only concern I have is the screen as it does seem to be prone to extend even with the case I bought for it so worried it will get easily scratched.

I had to refund this phone: Heres my reasons why:- the phone is full of bloatware and ads- the camera is terrible, grainy, even when you select the 108MP camera option,- RAM optimisation is awful, when you click off and onto another app it always restarts the app,- the side volume and power buttons are extremely easy to click in, there was so many times when I would take it out of my pocket to find it on max volume- god awful GPS!- Some apps like Netflix does not support picture in picture, so lets say you're multi-tasking, it will exit the app entirely.
