The Redmi 14C 5G recently went official in India as the brand’s second most affordable 5G smartphone in the country after Redmi A4 5G. The device succeeds the Redmi 13C 5G from last year.

The handset arrives with minute changes in terms of specs. However, its design gets an overhaul. It looks more like a premium smartphone though isn’t one.

The Redmi 14C 5G starts at ₹10,999 (~$130) just like its predecessor. So how is it different from the earlier model with the same price tag? Let’s find out in this article.

Redmi 14C 5G

1. Premium-looking Design

The Redmi 14C 5G resembles flagship smartphones from Chinese brands. It has a large centrally aligned circular camera module.

The design is complemented by eye-catching colors. Apart from the standard black hue (Stargaze Black), the phone also comes in a blue paint job with white accents (Starlight Blue) and purple with starry patterns (Stardust Purple).

Overall the product is slightly larger than Redmi 13C 5G, owing to a bigger display. At the same time, it is heavier and weighs up to 212g depending on color.

2. Bigger Screen

The Redmi 14C 5G flaunts a 6.88-inch display with a dewdrop notch. This LCD panel offers an HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The display can reach a peak brightness level of 600 nits.

Whereas the Redmi 13C 5G has a bit smaller 6.74-inch screen. However, the specs are the same for both panels.

3. Different Chip

Under the hood, the Redmi 14C 5G houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset. While the Redmi 13C 5G is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6100 Plus chip.

Both chipsets are more or less identical in terms of performance. They are also paired with the same LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.

But the newer model ships with HyperOS based on Android 14. Thus, it gets an additional year of support.

4. Larger Battery

The Redmi 14C 5G is backed by a larger battery than the Redmi 13C 5G. It is equipped with a 5,160mAh unit compared to a 5,000mAh cell inside the older model.

However, both of them support the same 18W charging standard. So the charging speed should be slower on the newer phone but it should last longer.

Interestingly, the Redmi 14C 5G ships with a 33W charger, while the Redmi 13C 5G comes with a slower 10W power adapter.

5. Different Selfie Camera

The Redmi 14C 5G is equipped with an 8MP front-facing camera. Whereas, a 5MP shooter sits on the front of Redmi 13C 5G.

Nevertheless, both come with the same 50MP main camera. This primary sensor is paired with an unnamed secondary sensor.
