The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G, officially launched in India on September 26, 2024, is positioned as a feature-rich mid-range smartphone built for photography lovers and everyday users. With pricing starting at Rs. 21,000 and going up to Rs. 27,999 (ex-showroom), it aims to attract buyers looking for high-end features at a budget-friendly cost. Going up against rivals like the Realme Narzo 70 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A55 5G, it combines a powerful camera setup, reliable performance, and sleek durability. Below is a detailed breakdown of its pricing, features, and performance in India as of September 02, 2025.
Stylish and Sturdy Build
The Note 14 Pro 5G comes with a modern design featuring a curved glass back supported by a metal frame. Its dimensions are around 161.2 mm in length, 74.7 mm in width, and 8.2 mm in thickness, while the weight is roughly 190 grams. To ensure long-lasting use, it includes Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. Buyers can choose from Midnight Black, Glacier White, and Aurora Purple finishes, all offering a glossy look that resists fingerprints. However, the glass back may feel a bit slippery without a protective case.
Crisp and Immersive Display
The device flaunts a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a 1.5K resolution (1220×2712 pixels, 446 ppi) and a refresh rate of 120Hz. It also supports Dolby Vision and delivers peak brightness up to 3000 nits, making visuals vibrant and sharp. Slim bezels and curved edges enhance its screen-to-body ratio, while the in-display fingerprint sensor ensures seamless security. Perfect for binge-watching and gaming, the display competes strongly in its segment, though outdoor use may show slight reflection issues under direct sunlight.
Advanced Triple Camera Setup
The smartphone houses a triple rear camera array:
-
50MP main lens (f/1.6, OIS, wide-angle): Delivers crisp details in daylight and supports 4K video recording.
-
8MP ultra-wide lens (f/2.2): Great for capturing landscapes and group shots.
-
2MP macro lens (f/2.4): Useful for close-up photography.
-
20MP front camera (f/2.0): Perfect for selfies and 1080p videos.
With AI optimization and Night Mode, the device excels in low-light shooting, producing vibrant and sharp photos. While its versatility is strong, it shines particularly in night photography, giving it an edge over several competitors in this price range.
Strong Battery With Fast Charging
The Note 14 Pro 5G is equipped with a large 5500mAh battery, capable of lasting 1.5 to 2 days under regular usage. Screen-on time averages around 8–10 hours. It supports 45W wired fast charging, topping up the device fully in nearly 50 minutes. While it doesn’t offer wireless charging, Xiaomi has included adaptive charging technology to protect battery health—retaining 80% capacity even after 800 cycles. Its large battery size is a plus, though charging speeds could have been faster compared to competitors.
Connectivity and Audio
The device offers a wide range of connectivity options including 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, GPS, and USB Type-C 2.0. Dual SIM functionality includes support for eSIM as well. Essential sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity, and ambient light are included, along with an in-display fingerprint scanner. For multimedia, dual stereo speakers enhanced with Dolby Atmos provide immersive sound, though the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack may disappoint some users.
Price and Availability in India
The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is priced between Rs. 21,000 for the base model and Rs. 27,999 for the highest variant (ex-showroom). In Delhi, on-road pricing ranges from Rs. 23,870 to Rs. 31,500, including insurance (Rs. 1,500–2,000) and RTO charges (Rs. 2,000–2,500).

Competitor Comparison
The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G’s closest rivals include:
