Redmi Note 13 Pro+ was one of the best phones last year, bringing flagship-esque features like an IP68 rating and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection on the screen. This time Xiaomi is taking the same formula, and slapping it on the Pro model as well. As a result, we will get flagship-like features at an even lower price point. Let’s discuss more on the Redmi Note 14 Pro in further detail including its price in Nepal.
Redmi Note 14 Pro Overview
Design and Display
Right from the get-go, it is pretty clear that Redmi Note 14 Pro is trying to emulate what the higher-end Note offering did last year. Among the available designs, a single purple colour option sticks out the most with a vegan leather finish — similar to the Note 13 Pro+! Additionally, the phone comes with IP68 water and dust resistance — pretty reminiscent of you know which phone. It also dons a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front adding to its toughness. The overall design has been overhauled with a reshaped and relocated camera island.
We are getting a 6.67-inch 12-bit OLED screen with 1.5K resolution on this phone. Moreover, it is capable of up to 120Hz refresh rate, 3,000 nits peak brightness, and 480Hz touch sampling rate. In the meantime, the instantaneous touch sampling rate on the Redmi Note 14 Pro is much higher at 2,560Hz. Not only that, it also offers wet hands touch support, 1,920Hz PWM dimming, DCI-P3 colour gamut, HDR10+ and has a triple certification from TÜV Rheinland for eye protection features.
Performance
Along with the aesthetic, the Redmi Note 14 Pro gets an upgrade on the performance side of things as well. Firstly, the new phone houses the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra, which is decently better than the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 on its predecessor. It is also available in wider configurations, those being: 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB. Likewise, the battery has beefed up to 5,500 mAh compared to 5,100 mAh last year. However, the charging speed has dropped to 45W from 67W, which is still plenty fast.

Camera and the rest
The camera department gets some adjustments too. Instead of going for a big 200MP sensor, Xiaomi has kept it simple with a 50MP shooter. The sensor size has shrunken too, with a 1/1.96-inch unit this time, while previously there was a much larger 1/1.4-inch sensor. It is a LYT-600 sensor from Sony though, which is also present on the Redmi Note 14 5G. While the camera appears to be a downgrade on paper, we can only tell for certain once we test it hands-on. Other than that, the auxiliary lenses remain unchanged with an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro shooter. Meanwhile, the selfie snapper is now a 20MP unit instead of the 16MP on the previous iteration.
The Redmi Note 14 Pro supports dual SIM 5G cellular and dual-band WiFi 6 connectivity. Furthermore, you get Bluetooth v5.4 alongside high-quality codecs like LDAC and LHDC-V. There is also NFC, five-way navigation support and IR blaster as additional wireless connectivity options. Other than that, there is a stereo speaker setup and an X-axis linear motor to enhance the gaming and multimedia experience.
