Redmi is set to launch the Redmi Note 13 series of smartphones globally on Jan. 4 India will be the first market outside China to receive the Note 13 lineup on that date. Subsequent releases are planned for other markets. As the global market prepares for the Note 13 series, a Chinese tipster has claimed that the brand is preparing to unveil the Note 14 series for the domestic market.

Realme 12 Pro vs Redmi Note 14 Pro likely to happen soon

Recent reports have revealed that Realme plans to unveil the Realme 12 series of smartphones in the first quarter of 2024. The Realme 12 lineup is likely to include multiple models, but the rumor mill hasn’t revealed significant details yet. However, reports have provided key details about the Realme 12 Pro series.

The Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ are expected to feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. Speculations suggest that the rear camera setup of the Realme 12 Pro will include a 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. The Realme 12 Pro+, on the other hand, is said to be equipped with a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

According to a Chinese leaker, the Realme 12 series, particularly the Pro lineup, will face competition from the Redmi Note 14 series. The Redmi Note 13 series was unveiled in China in September, so the company will likely maintain a six-month gap before announcing the Redmi Note 14 lineup. This suggests that it could debut in the first quarter of 2024, possibly in February. The tipster claimed that the Note 14 series will have a curved-edge display, some flagship-level features, and the same price range as the Realme counterparts. The Note 14 series will also decentralize some of the camera features that are available on the company’s flagship smartphones.

Unfortunately, there is currently no information available about the Redmi Note 14 series’ specifications. With the rival brand aiming to introduce telephoto and periscope telephoto cameras on the 12 Pro series at a price of around 2,000 Yuan (~$280), it is possible that the Redmi Note 14 Pro could feature a telephoto camera, while the Note 14 Pro+ could have a periscope telephoto camera. It is too early to speculate on the specifications of the Note 14 lineup, so it is advisable to wait for further reports before making any assumptions.
