As much as we love flagships, It’s just as important to note that midrangers still make the bulk of the sales for any brand, and the major chunk of the pie usually goes to Redmi in most countries, doubly so for Malaysia.
Redmi has always been a home name for people looking to maximise value for money, yet still gain access to loads of features. Redmi Note 14 series makes its 2025 mark, with an impressive list of improvements and features that add to its already well established street cred.
Increased Level Of Durability
Looking into the material choices Xiaomi made this time around, the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G takes a balanced design, touting smooth curves and symmetry across the body. Depending on the color choice, the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G has either a glass or PU back, pieced together with dense metal, weighing a solid 210 grams that adds confidence to the hand, remaining secure to the grip.
Structural
In the event that drops do occur on accident, it’s able to hold its own, being able to survive with extremely minor cosmetic damage. How this is achieved is through shock absorption materials that are stacked in a multi-layer approach. Underneath the screen, a large foam pad and a ring of high- polymer cushioning gel work together to minimize screen damage from impact. Surrounding essential parts like the motherboard, sub-board, and battery, are shock-absorbing foams and gels that act like energy-absorbing boxes, effectively cushioning impacts and providing robust protection against damage during drops.
Glass
The glass material reveals itself to be Corning’s Gorilla Glass 7i, while the screen is protected by the superior Corning Gorilla Glass 2.
Water and Dust Resistance
Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G is also certified IP68 for Dust and Water Resistance, making the device capable of surviving accidental splashes and even submersion. Of course, in that order, the screen is also able to remain responsible thanks to Wet Touch 2.0 tech, making it ready to work between wetness from water, sweat and even oily hands.
Imaging
There are also noticeable upgrades in the camera department, with a triple camera setup housing a 50MP OmniVision (Light Hunter) 800 sensor, 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 2.5x Optical telephoto shooter, topped off with a 8MP Sony IMX355 for ultrawide shots. This is a respectable setup fit for a midrange device with lots of premium hardware.
AI Features
Apart from the usual hardware upgrades, the Redmi Note 14 pro+ 5G is also packed with more smarts on the AI front, featuring for the first time, AI Photo Editing, comprised of 3 main AI modules :
- AI Erase Pro : Erase unwanted elements from images, such as extra people and certain subjects highlighted by AI.
- AI Image Expansion : AI Image expansion allows for images to have their backgrounds expanded outside its captured range, providing more headroom for edits and realigning angles.
- AI Cutout : Similar to erase pro, AI Cutout is able to let you remove objects or other items from images, while its primary use is for people to cut out people or themselves out of the photo, to be saved and put into another photo. (think classic Photoshopping yourself onto another background).
