The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G has joined the rest of the Redmi Note 14 series in a global launch today. For some reason, Xiaomi has downgraded the smartphone in a few areas compared with its prior Chinese and Indian releases.
On the face of it, the global version of the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G looks identical to the version that Xiaomi launched last month in India. As such, the former features a pronounced camera housing with three rear-facing sensors and a curved AMOLED display that measures 6.67-inches across. The latter still outputs at 2,712 x 1,220 (1.5K) with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 3,000 nits peak brightness too, just like the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus 5G.

However, it seems that Xiaomi has equipped the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G with the same primary camera as last year’s Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G(curr. $289.50 on Amazon) for its full global release. In other words, the device has a 200 MP and optically stabilised sensor at its disposal with a 1/1.4-inch sensor size and an f/1.65 aperture, compared to the 50 MP, 1/1.96-inch and f/1.5 aperture sensor found in previous Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G releases.
All other camera hardware remains unchanged though, as does 45 W wired charging capabilities and a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra chipset. Unfortunately, Xiaomi has swapped the 5,500 mAh silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery found in other Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G variants for a lesser 5,110 mAh battery. The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G will go on sale from January 15 with a starting price of £299 and €399.90 (~$412) for its 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage variant. Alternatively, the device will be available with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, but for a €50 (~$52) surcharge in the Eurozone.
