Following the December 2023 launch of the Redmi 13C 5G, Xiaomi appears to be prepping its successor, the Redmi 14C 5G. Now, MySmartPrice has spotted the phone’s model numbers, 24108PCE21 and 2411DRN47I, on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification website.
The listing itself offers no concrete details about the phone’s specifications. However, it does raise an interesting possibility. The listing also includes the “POCO” brand name alongside Redmi.
So the Redmi 14C 5G might be rebranded as a POCO device in some markets, mirroring Xiaomi’s usual strategy of offering similar phones under different sub-brands.
This isn’t the first time the Redmi 14C 5G has piqued our curiosity. The phone has already been spotted in the IMEI database listings with four distinct model numbers: “2411DRN47G,” “2411DRN47R,” “2411DRN47I,” and “2411DRN47C.”
The suffixes likely denote regional variations, with “G” possibly signifying a global model, “R” for Japan, “I” for India, and “C” for China. These listings hint at a widespread launch strategy for the Redmi 14C 5G.
Despite the mounting evidence, Xiaomi remains tight-lipped about the upcoming budget phone. While the BIS certification suggests an imminent launch, particularly in India, no official details regarding specifications, pricing, or release date have been revealed.
However, given the increased activity surrounding the phone, it’s reasonable to expect more information to emerge in the coming days. For budget-conscious smartphone buyers looking for a 5G option, the Redmi 14C 5G is shaping up to be a potential contender. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and update you on it as new details become available.
