Chipset

The Note 14 handset is powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 7025 Ultra (6 nm) chipset.  It is an upgrade from Note 13’s Mediatek Dimensity 6080 (6 nm), offering more efficiency and power needed for tasks and gaming.

The chip comes integrated with:

CPU: Octa-core (2×2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 & 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) for multitasking and ensuring efficiency across multiple opened apps as you browse through your phone.

GPU: IMG BXM-8-256, providing seamless gaming experience for mid-setting games.

Camera Set up

The camera setup on the Redmi Note 14 is typical for a mid-range smartphone. It offers above-average performance, especially with the 50 MP, f/1.5, (wide), primary camera, supported by a 2 MP, f/2.4, (macro) lens. It features LED flash, HDR, panorama, and OIS for image stability. Capture selfies with the single, 16 MP front camera. Both the front and main cameras record 1080p@30fps.  The phone does not have one of the most sophisticated or high-caliber camera sets but is still above average for a typical user seeking a good time with photography and videography. The lack of 4K video recording capabilities could be a turn-off for some users, who may opt for other models with this feature. Interestingly, the Redmi Note 13 came with an impressive 108MP+8MP+2MP triple camera setup that recorded 1080p videos. Why the downgrade of some sort?
