Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G Review

The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is a mid ranged priced phone but has the premium look to it and we have been testing it out the last few months and have to say it is a device I could use as a daily driver all year round.

Storage is now a factor in mobile phones and the base factor here starts at a rather generous 256GB where others fall behind and for those who like to take good photos and video the base offering here is more than welcome.

Specs are known now and listed below so we will not bore you with them but there is plenty to think about at this phones price which will vary by region and further making the point there is no need to spend over a thousand euro on a phone today.

The build quality is decent here and given it has a plastic back the body of the phone is premium with alloy rails and a 6.7 OLDED panel with a 120hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 making it ideal for media consumption.

With the camera hump placed in the middle on the back it means no wobble on a flat desk though most of us will use cases it is good to know and in the camera array we have a 200mp main camera 8mp ulltra wide 2 mp macro and not forgetting the 20mp front camera. which the results of can be seen below with the photo and image gallery.

We have no wireless charging on board here which might be a deal breaker for some but 45w fast charging which is a fair speed at this price point and we also have a decent battery at 5110 mAh and one thing we do not see too often is an IR blaster up top which is great for those who use such an remote controls is one handy use for it.

The Redmi Not 14 Pro is power by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra chip and for my personal daily use which is more than most is fine and I had no issues with the countless apps running and social media and emails etc all day long making it fine for multitasking.

The phone runs on Hyper OS which lies atop Android 14 so we are a bit behind here but for me there was no issues in my review period and zipped along fine with any task I threw at it but there is only two years of software updates available now which is much less than rivals however that can change and most people change their device within that time frame.

If you are on a budget within the big budget market there is plenty of options available and making the choice more difficult but after testing this phone out myself it is one to certainly think about. Check out the first look video where we take a deep dive into the phone and show you lots more.

First Look – Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G

The Redmi Note is a recently released device now on sale in Ireland in multiple stores and online and we have just got this in to check out over the next few weeks and look forward to seeing how it fairs out in the market.

With a good spec sheet this device promises to offer great features at a decent price and of course AI is one of the themes here as is with most smartphone makers now which has become jarring for some but each manufacturers take is different and you also get Google Gemini on board which most Android users are now more custom too.

With Redmi Note 14 Series, Xiaomi delivers a remarkable blend of powerful  performance, stunning photography, and robust durability, all designed to meet the  needs of modern life. From the high-resolution camera systems with advanced AI tools,  to the rugged dust and water-resistant design, powerful performance and long-lasting  battery, Redmi Note 14 Series sets a new standard in its category by bringing premium  features to a wider audience, offering exceptional value in every aspect.

We will be testing this out over the coming weeks so if there is any questions as always ask us on social or our YouTube

First Look – Xiaomi Redmi 10 from Tesco Mobile

Today we take a first in depth look at one of tesco mobile latest handsets on offer and it is the Xiaomi Redmi 10 which is also a first for me to see, in the hand this handset feels nice and is solid and it is not an expensive device by any means and loaded with a decent spec sheet too, it has got a decent rear camera system on the back with a not so large hump like other brands insist of having there now and moving them around. We have got a 50/8/2 and 2 MP array of cameras on the rear and a front facing camera at 8MP. We also have a large 6.5 inch display and the speakers are decently loud too.

If that is not enough for the camera fans this has also got a 5000mAh battery to power it which is ample enough in today’s standards and also we have got 128GB storage which can be bumped up to 512GB with an SD card. We also have a headphone jack which is not seen much these days, also this has a fingerprint sensor on the side and comes with a charger in the box and a case so you are protected straight away which all in all seems like a decent package..

Tech Review – Redmi Airdots 3 earbuds from Hekka #letshekka #hekka

The Redmi Airdots 3 are an affordable pair of earbuds in an already crowded market even with the discount code we have with them you will want to know if they are worth the spend though and what is on offer, it has been a busy year so far with earbuds and will continue on for the rest of the year but these have the worst pair of earbuds I have ever tested to date.

The company that sent them called hekka  where told I am in Ireland and they will work, however there is an app you can avail of (MI AI) but does not work here as the video will point out below where all the faults rest with these earbuds, they are destined for china however available to buy from the company above which is fine however some finer print should be added to the products on sale to avoid disappointment.

Well for some the features that are available is enough if you are on a budget, you can pause and play music take calls and access your voice assistant, you can also use individually and that is it, there is no skip or reverse tracks, no volume control either which leaves them lacking no matter the price you pay. You also get auto play and pause which is not bad considering.

The sound is not bad though, between bright and flat no bass either present, they are fine for those who want a cheap pair of earbuds and they are loud to be fair, the touch controls are a bit hit and miss too but work ok in general considering the lack of features it has to manage at least from this side of the world. There is a user manual in the box which when translated with Google lens to translate brought up very little in features as mentioned.

Overall battery life is fine considering the price, they are as basic as you can get in earbuds from what I have tested to date so the choice is yours .
