Before diving into the Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro Plus, it's worth recapping who Redmi is: it’s a sub-brand of Leica's partner, Xiaomi, and Xiaomi has three phone brands: Xiaomi, Poco, and Redmi. The Xiaomi brand is the most premium – think the Leica co-engineered Xiaomi 14 Ultra – while Poco is typically aimed at value-focused gamers. Finally, Redmi targets value-focused imaging enthusiasts, at least with its Note series. Long-time readers may remember the excellent Note 10 Pro, a breakthrough device, but the line has started to feel a bit less exciting in recent years.
For 2025, the Redmi Note 14 Pro and 14 Pro Plus launched with identical camera systems and just a handful of hardware differences, so it makes sense to cover both together in one combined review. After all, both pack the same 200MP primary camera, complete with a large 1/1.4” sensor and a fast f/1.65 aperture.
