As anticipation for the Redmi Note 14 5G mounts, there was hardly time to learn about his global version as one such device appeared on US FCC website. The Redmi Note 14 5G, carrying the model number 24094RAD4G has been said to launch in December and this FCC listing reveals its battery charging capabilities as well as its software version along with new connectivity options. Let’s dive into what we know so far.
FCC Listing Unveils Key Specifications
The Redmi Note 14 5G's appearance on the FCC website confirms its global variant designation, with the “G” in the model number indicating this. According to the listing, the phone will run on Xiaomi's latest HyperOS 1.0 software, marking a significant shift from MIUI. This new operating system is expected to bring enhanced performance and a cleaner user experience.
In terms of connectivity, the Redmi Note 14 5G supports Wi-Fi AC, Bluetooth, LTE, and a wide array of 5G NR (New Radio) bands, including n2, n5, n7, n26, n38, n41, n48, n66, n77, and n78. This broad 5G band support ensures that the device will be compatible with a variety of global 5G networks, offering fast and reliable connectivity wherever it is used.
Charging Capabilities
The FCC listing reveals a few interesting bits of information including the device's charging support. The document also lists an MDY-12-EA charger, which is a USB-A 33W adapter. This is in contrast to what was earlier tipped off which pointed at 45W fast charging support. It seems this 33W charging rate is more in line with the Redmi Note 13 5G rather than any kind of upgrade. That added charge speed might disappoint some who are looking for a highly rapid one, but 33W is still definitely fast enough to keep you topped up during the day.
Speculations on Other Features
In addition to the FCC listing, rumors and leaks also give us further insight into what we might expect from the Redmi Note 14 5G. It is said that the device will have a 1.5K AMOLED screen, which would be an increase in resolution over the FHD panel of this Redmi Note 13 “5G”, and though no more camera specifications are known to date other than its main module being another 50MP sensor; fewer megapixels but perhaps improved image processing.
The Redmi Note 14 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity chipset, most likely a version of this with higher GHz. This processor is a lower midrange SoC built on TSMC’s 6nm process node. It includes an octa-core CPU with two Cortex A76 performance cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six Cortex A55 efficiency cores running at 2.0GHz. Although the Dimensity 6100+ is slightly slower in terms of maximum frequency compared to the Dimensity 6080 found in the Redmi Note 13 5G, it is still expected to deliver solid performance for everyday tasks and moderate gaming.
Global and Regional Variants
The FCC listing confirms that the Redmi Note 14 is likely to be a global variant because Xiaomi usually debuts its devices in China before they hit other markets. The global dimension of the Redmi Note 14 5G will be reportedly lance in winter this year with the Indian one debuting early next year. On the flip side, we could see the Chinese model of Redmi Note 14 series which includes a range-topping Pro and Pro Plus in just over one month.
Well, even the Pro variant of Redmi Note 14 series has been in news and that too for interesting reasons. A Chinese variant of the phone, believed to come with the new Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset and supporting up to whopping fast wired charging has been certified by China's 3C -- an important update since currently we are seeing a maximum of just over half this speed on Redmi Note13 Pro. This variant should bring different cameras – the global version might have a telephoto lens and, in Chinese format could make way for macro filters.
The Redmi Note 14 5G is shaping up to be a compelling choice in the mid-range smartphone market, especially for those looking for solid performance, 5G connectivity, and a user-friendly software experience. While the charging speed remains at 33W, consistent with its predecessor, the potential upgrades in display quality and software could make it a worthy successor in the Redmi Note series.
As the launch date approaches, more details are expected to emerge, giving us a clearer picture of what this new device will offer. Stay tuned for further updates as we get closer to the official unveiling of the Redmi Note 14 5G.
