Emir BardakçıThe highly anticipated REDMI Note 14S has finally appeared with official renders leaked from a reliable source. We’ve been following REDMI Note 14S closely here at XiaomiTime, having previously leaked important specifications, for this upcoming budget giant last week. Now, these stunning official images confirm what many Xiaomi fans have been waiting for – the Note 14S is poised for an imminent international release, to storm Eastern Europe and Indian markets with a feature-packed package for a modest price tag.
A Peculiar Blend of Upscale and Budget
The REDMI Note 14S is Xiaomi’s clever approach to delivering value-packed phones without compromising crucial experiences. While the world is racing to 5G connectivity, Xiaomi has taken an interesting route to endow the Note 14S with the MediaTek Helio G99 Ultra processor – a solid but 4G-only chip. This same processor was found in last year’s Redmi Note 13 Pro, which shows that Xiaomi is cleverly repurposing successful components to deliver maximum value.
Despite 4G limitations, the processor is still able to deliver good performance with its octa-core configuration:
- Two premium Cortex-A76 cores operating at 2.2GHz
- Six 2.0 GHz efficiency cores
- Support for latest connectivity like Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC
The handset does not hold back in other departments either, featuring a stunning AMOLED display with a 2400×1080 pixel FHD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate for seamless scrolling and gaming. Memory is impressive as well with 8GB of RAM supplemented with 256GB internal storage to keep the device responsive with several apps open.
Photography powerhouse in a budget-friendly package
One of the most surprising aspects of the REDMI Note 14S is its camera setup. While budget phones typically skimp on camera capabilities, Xiaomi has loaded this device with a flagship-grade 200-megapixel primary camera. This premium sensor features:
- f/1.4 aperture for excellent low-light performance
- Optical image stabilization to reduce blur
- 4K video recording capabilities
Along with the primary camera is an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera for expansive landscape shots and a 2-megapixel macro lens for sharp close-up shots. Front-facing 16-megapixel camera will be selfie-friendly.
Battery Life That Won’t Let You Down
The REDMI Note 14S continues Xiaomi’s tradition of excellent battery life with a large 5000mAh battery. More impressively, the device supports 67W fast charging, making it easy to fill your device when you need to. Wireless charging is not supported, as is typical in this price range.
Available Colors and Design
The leaked pictures show the REDMI Note 14S in three stunning colors: –
- Elegance Black
- Vibrant Purple
- Refreshing Green
The design appears to be a redesign of the previous generation, with a couple of cosmetic refinements to bring the looks into a modern and pleasing form.
Pricing and Availability
As per information available, the REDMI Note 14S is launching soon with a price point of approximately €240 (approximately $260). This puts it in the budget segment with a range of features typically found in more expensive devices.
One interesting fact for Xiaomi enthusiasts: the handset appears to employ older “Redmi” logo design rather than more recent “REDMI” branding used on some recent models.
Our Take
The REDMI Note 14S is a testament to Xiaomi’s consistent commitment to delivering great value. By combining premium features like the 200MP camera and 120Hz AMOLED display with a low-cost 4G processor, Xiaomi has created a device that will resonate strongly with price-sensitive buyers who want a premium experience in critical areas.
While missing 5G is a downside to some potential buyers, overall, the deal is a good one for individuals who prioritize display, camera capabilities, and battery life over having the latest connectivity standard. Tune in to XiaomiTime for upcoming updates as we count down to the release of this highly anticipated new addition to the Redmi Note series!
