Redmi 14C: the new affordable Xiaomi smartphone for less than 200 euros

While Xiaomi teases its Redmi Note 14 In China, the French market was treated to a new entry-level model: the Redmi 14C. This new model, however, plays on appearances, given that it looks like a premium smartphone.

We actually end up with a very thin 8.22 mm chassis with flat edges. No aluminum, however, but a metallic appearance thanks to a plastic (polycarbonate) coating.

At the back, a circular photo module also adds an extra touch of elegance. Three colors are available: black with a glass finish, green with a matte texture and blue with a glossy effect.

At the display level, the Redmi 14C Xiaomi's flagship features a 6.88-inch LCD panel with an HD+ resolution of 1,640 by 720 pixels, maximum brightness of 450 nits and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

In terms of performance, the smartphone is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G81-Ultra chip and 4 or 8 GB of RAM. Enough to enjoy good overall performance (web browsing, social networks, video and music playback, etc.), and the most demanding games with low-quality graphics settings.

Finally, the Xiaomi Redmi 14C has a 13MP selfie camera, a single 50MP rear photo sensor filming in 1080p at 30 frames per second and a 5,160mAh battery compatible with 18W fast charging.

This new affordable model is already available at a price of €159 for the version with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, compared to €170 for the 8/256 GB configuration.
