Redmi's ever-expanding portfolio of affordable smartphones is soon going to add yet another device - the Redmi 14C 5G. Its predecessor, the Redmi 13C 5G, launched in December of 2023, and it looks like its successor simply can't wait for a whole year to pass before it arrives as well - such is the nature of the cut-throat entry-level smartphone market.
The Redmi 14C 5G has been spotted in an
IMEI database, and thus it's definitely coming soon. Not 'soon' as in the next
few days or weeks, but clearly a lot sooner than December - so this series is
getting a very fast refresh cycle. The Redmi 14C 5G will be available in China,
India, Japan, and global markets, so this will be a very wide release by the
brand's standards. This will be the first Redmi C-series handset to launch in
Japan, for what it's worth.
Unfortunately there have been no leaks or
rumors regarding its specs yet, but since it's the Redmi 13C 5G's successor it
should be a better specced device than that one. For reference, note that the
Redmi 13C 5G comes with a 6.74-inch 720x1600 LCD touchscreen with 90 Hz refresh
rate and 600-nit peak brightness, the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ chipset, 4/6/8GB
of RAM, 128/256GB of expandable storage (with a dedicated microSD slot), a 50
MP main camera, a 5 MP selfie snapper, and a 5,000 mAh battery with support for
18W wired charging. The Redmi 14C 5G should naturally turn things up a notch.
We'll let you know when we find out more about it.
