Redmi Note devices have been highly recommended in the past due to their excellent combination of hardware and unbeatable value, often undercutting competitors by a significant margin. However, this has changed in the last two years as Xiaomi shifted its focus to the mid-range category.
While the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ and Redmi Note 13 Pro+ featured impressive designs and decent hardware, they fell short in terms of value, and the price increase led to a decline in their mainstream appeal.
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ follows a similar trend: priced the same as its predecessor, it offers better cameras and powerful hardware. The standout improvement is the battery life, with a substantial 6200mAh battery that easily lasts two days between charges.
However, the software remains a major issue. The device comes with Android 14 out of the box, which is not sufficient for a mid-range phone at the end of 2024. Even more frustrating is the limited software support, with only three Android OS updates promised, and Android 15 — which it should have launched with — counting as one of those updates.
While the hardware has improved, the software situation remains a significant problem for Xiaomi, and it seems the company has not made the necessary changes to address this concern.
