Xiaomi has recently generated excitement with the launch of the first two models in the Redmi Note 14 series. The Redmi Note 14 Pro and Note 14 Pro+ come with significant upgrades in design, durability, and performance compared to their predecessors, the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro+.
It seems that more models are on the horizon, with successors to the Redmi Note 13 and Note 13 5G expected at a later date. But what do the Pro models have to offer? Here’s everything you need to know about the Redmi Note 14 lineup as it stands currently.
Here’s all the information you need regarding the Redmi Note 14’s release date, price, and specifications.
When is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 set to be launched?
Xiaomi officially introduced the Redmi Note 14 Pro series in China on 26 September 2024. Interestingly, this was the same day the Xiaomi 14T series was unveiled to a global audience, although it was a separate launch.
Currently, only two models have been announced: the Redmi Note 14 Pro and Note 14 Pro+. If Xiaomi follows the pattern of the previous generation, we can expect a standard Redmi Note 14 (4G-only) and Redmi Note 13 5G to be released at a later date.
While the initial launch is for the Chinese market, a global release is anticipated in the upcoming months. GSMArena suggests a global launch may happen in November 2024, although no official source is cited. A more realistic scenario would be a typical January/February 2025 launch timeframe.
As a point of reference, the Redmi Note 13 series was globally released on 1 February 2024, following its initial launch in China on 21 September 2023.
