Xiaomi’s latest budget phone, the Redmi 14C, went official in the international market a few weeks ago. This thing brings a unique design, a big display, and a big battery to name a few. And now, it has landed here in Nepal as well. So let’s take a closer look at the Redmi 14C, alongside its features, availability, official price in Nepal, and more.

Redmi 14C Overview

Design and Display

Being the successor to the Redmi 13C, the Redmi 14C looks distinctly different. We have a large circular camera island aligned at the centre instead of a squircle one on the side. Meanwhile, the color choices are Dreamy Purple, Sage Green, and Midnight Black in Nepal.

The screen on the Redmi 14C has grown quite heftily and measures 6.88 inches. While the size may be absolutely massive, the display itself is pretty mediocre. It offers HD+ resolution only and 8-bit colors with 70% NTSC gamut coverage. The brightness on this thing caps out at 600 nits. However, it does offer a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz.

Performance

As per the leak, the Redmi 14C was supposed to arrive with the MediaTek Helio G91 Ultra. However, the phone has arrived with Helio G81 Ultra instead. It is a debut chipset and appears to be an update to the G80 processor from 2020. While the core architecture and peak frequency appear to be unchanged, it could have had a newer fabrication process.

In the meantime, the Redmi 14C comes in three different configurations. Those being 4GB + 128GB, 6GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 256GB. The RAM in here is an LPDDR4X while the storage is eMMC 5.1. The Redmi 14C phone supports memory extension by an additional 8GB. There is an option for storage expansion as well, however, the upper limit of it is unknown. As for software, the Redmi 14C boots on Xiaomi’s in-house HyperOS straight out of the box.

Camera and the rest

The Redmi 14C seems to have a four-camera setup, but that is not the case. Two of the cutouts on the back don’t even house any lenses. One is an LED flash while the other is used for “50MP AI Camera” branding. Yes, the Redmi 14C comes with a 50MP primary sensor. Regarding another lens, even the company says “Auxiliary lens” and shrugs it off. Hence, this phone effectively has a single camera setup. On the front, there is a 13MP unit for selfies and face unlock.

Battery-wise, the Redmi 14C comes with a 5,160 mAh cell and supports 18W fast charging through a USB Type-C interface. It has a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button for further security. Meanwhile, for wireless connectivity, it supports dual SIM, 4G cellular, Bluetooth v5.4, dual-band WiFi, and NFC in select regions.

OpenAI chooses TSMC over Samsung for AI Chip manufacturing

OpenAI has decided to design and manufacture its own AI chips to reduce dependence on Nvidia and cut operational costs. However, the company has chosen TSMC instead of Samsung Foundry for the production of these chips, which is expected to begin mass production by 2026.

OpenAI AI Chips Rumors

OpenAI’s AI Chip Manufacturing Plans

OpenAI is in the final stages of designing its in-house AI chips, which aim to lessen reliance on Nvidia. The company has opted for TSMC’s 3nm process node for the manufacturing of these chips. The mass production of these chips is anticipated to begin by 2026.

Samsung’s Struggles in Chip Manufacturing

Samsung Foundry has faced challenges over the past few years. Chips made for companies like Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Exynos have experienced overheating and power inefficiency. As a result, major clients like Nvidia and Qualcomm have moved their business to TSMC. OpenAI, despite engaging with Samsung, has chosen TSMC to manufacture its AI chips.

Samsung’s Ongoing Role in OpenAI’s AI Strategy

Although OpenAI has selected TSMC for chip production, it might still source Samsung’s high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for its chips. Samsung is also reportedly looking to invest in OpenAI’s Stargate Project to bolster its presence in the AI sector. Additionally, Samsung has already begun integrating OpenAI’s AI algorithms into its high-end TVs.

As of now, OpenAI’s AI chips are still in the design phase and will begin mass production in 2026.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature a massive 7500 mAh battery!

Samsung is reportedly working on silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery technology for its upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to a new report, the device could feature a 7,000mAh battery, surpassing most current flagship smartphones. This article will discuss everything about all the rumors regarding the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, including their rumors.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Rumors

Samsung’s Silicon-Carbon Battery Plans

Samsung has been rumored to be developing silicon-carbon batteries to improve power efficiency while maintaining a slim design. A new report from South Korean publication FNNews suggests that the Galaxy S26 Ultra might be the first Samsung device to feature this battery technology.

Comparison with Other Smartphones

Chinese smartphone manufacturers have already started adopting Si/C batteries. The Nubia Red Magic 10 Pro has a 7,050mAh battery, and the upcoming Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is expected to feature a 7,500mAh unit. While Samsung does not directly compete with Chinese brands, adopting this new battery technology could influence Apple and other manufacturers to follow.

Battery Life and Charging

Samsung’s One UI 7 already provides optimized battery performance, even with similar battery sizes as previous models. If the silicon-carbon battery rumor is true, the Galaxy S26 Ultra could see a significant improvement in battery life.

Additionally, the Galaxy S26 series is expected to support 65W fast charging, reducing charging times despite the larger battery capacity.
