The Redmi 14C was first discovered chilling in an online store from Vietnam with a scheduled release date of August 31. The smartphone is now headed to China in addition to it and will feature the model number “2409BRN2CC,” although, this point in time, it is unknown whether it will be known there as the Redmi 14R 4G. Further, it should be noted that Xiaomi has not launched a 4G phone in China in quite a long period of time, so this is a bit of a surprising decision.

- Display: 6.88 inches with big screen size
