In recent generations, Xiaomi has brought the Redmi C Series up a notch in terms of specifications—while the more affordable options are now filled by the Redmi A Series. The Redmi 14C serves as an alternative to entry-level Android smartphones with comprehensive features, including the presence of an NFC sensor, which is especially important for users in large cities as a modern payment method.
In terms of appearance, the Redmi 14C’s design looks vastly different from its predecessor. The rear design, in particular, is reminiscent of the latest smartphone series from OPPO, such as the Reno12 F, or the realme Number Series, all of which feature a large camera module with multiple sensor circles. This gives the Redmi 14C a more premium look.
Expanding on the design, Xiaomi offers four different color options for the Redmi 14C. Besides Midnight Black and Dreamy Purple, there’s a Sage Green option with a surface that mimics vegan leather, and a Starry Blue version that combines two distinct colors. The device is slightly larger than its predecessor, with a thickness of 8.22mm.
The reason for the increased dimensions can be attributed to two upgraded features. First, the Redmi 14C now has a larger display, measuring 6.88 inches, making it the largest in the Redmi series. The resolution remains limited to HD+, but the refresh rate has been increased from 90Hz to 120Hz. The screen also supports up to 600 nits of brightness and meets TUV Rheinland standards for eye protection.
Another enhancement contributing to the larger size is the battery. The Redmi 14C now has a slightly larger capacity at 5,160 mAh, claimed to provide up to 22 hours of video playback and 42 hours of video calling. It also comes with 18W fast charging and Xiaomi’s Smart Charging Engine, designed to prolong battery life.
Xiaomi has also equipped the device with a refreshed chipset, the MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra octa-core processor, paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM (expandable to 16GB with RAM expansion) and eMMC 5.1 storage up to 512GB. Architecturally, this chipset is quite similar to the Helio G85 found in the Redmi 13C.
Redmi 14C’s Selfie Camera Supports Night Mode
Although the Redmi 14C’s camera module appears large, suggesting a focus on photography, the hardware upgrade is actually in the front camera. The rear features a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor, along with a secondary sensor and flash, while the other circles on the module are merely for text prints.
To enhance responsiveness when capturing moments, Xiaomi has included its Imaging Engine in this affordable Redmi model, which not only speeds up image capture but also improves overall image quality. On the front, the selfie camera has been upgraded from 8MP to 13MP f/2.0, with support for night mode.
Xiaomi has already listed the complete product page on its global website. Will it be even more affordable when it officially launches in Indonesia? We’ll have to wait and see in the coming weeks!
