Xiaomi has announced its latest Redmi phone, the Redmi Note 14 series, which may be able to compete with the Galaxy S24 FE

The company has introduced three variants of the Redmi Note 14, the most powerful being the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus This model features Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and Gorilla Glass 7i on the back for rugged durability with IP68 and IP69 ratings; the Pro Plus model also has a 6,200 mAh battery and 90W wired charging But what makes the Pro Plus stand out is its 50 MP 25x telephoto camera with 5x lossless zoom, 50 MP primary camera, 8 MP ultra-wide, and 20 MP front camera This is an impressive setup, outshining the Galaxy S24 FE's 8MP telephoto zoom and 10MP selfie camera

These are impressive specs for one of the best camera phones, and the images will look great on the 667-inch OLED screen It will be interesting to see how they compare to the Exynos 2400e in Samsung's latest affordable phone There is also a Redmi Note 14 Pro model with a smaller battery size, Dimensity 7300 chip, and no telephoto camera option Instead, however, it has a 2MP macro shooter

Finally, the base model of the Redmi Note 14 is not as impressive as the others in the series, sporting a Dimensity 7025 Ultra chip, a 667-inch FHD+ OLED screen, and a 5,110mAh battery Camera options, on the other hand, are limited, with only a 50MP main camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 16MP selfie camera

When it comes to price, all of the models appear to be quite affordable, depending on the exchange rate It is unclear when or if these phones will ship outside of China, but we expect to find out in the next couple of months, as the company tends to delay their initial releases for a while; the Redmi 14 Pro Plus is currently priced at RMB 1,999 for the 8GB/128GB model (about 285 yuan (about $285) and the 16GB/512GB model is 2,399 yuan (about $342) If the price stays the same, we have the best affordable phone available

The other two models are also quite cheap, with the Pro model costing 1,499 yuan (about $214) in low-end stats and the base model of the Redmi Note 14 only 1,199 yuan (about $171)

The Chinese smartphone market has seen some amazing announcements recently, like the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate, the world's first tri-fold phone However, we do not know when these phones will be launched in the global market All we can do is keep an eye out and let you know of any new discoveries
