With the Redmi Note 14 series launch just around the corner, new information continues to come in. Gizmochina has found that the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G and POCO X7 are listed in the IMEI database. It is stated that both smartphones will have similar technical specifications.
This suggests that the POCO X7 will be a rebranded Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G. However, there will be some differences between the Note 14 Pro 5G and the POCO X7. These differences are expected to be clearly seen, especially on the camera side. The aim behind Xiaomi’s strategy is to appeal to a wider audience by offering the POCO X7 at a more affordable price.
New details emerge about the Redmi Note 14 series
Previously, it was announced that the Redmi Note 14 5G will be relaunched as the POCO M7 Pro 5G. Now, it has been officially confirmed that the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G will be renamed as the POCO X7. Both devices are codenamed “amethyst” and will come with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor (SM7635). This is considered a significant improvement over the previous model, the Note 13 Pro 5G. This is because the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is manufactured by Samsung, while the new Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is manufactured by TSMC.
The Note 14 Pro 5G has a model number of 24090RA29G, while the POCO X7 has a model number of 24095PCADG. Recently, the Note 14 Pro 5G passed 3C certification with the model number 24090RA29C. In this certification, the device was confirmed to have 45W fast charging support. However, this can be considered a regression compared to the 67W fast charging support of the previous model, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. Although the new Note 14 series has some advantages in some areas such as the processor, there is a decrease in fast charging capacity.
On the other hand, the Redmi Note 14 5G offers an improvement in fast charging compared to the Note 13 5G, bringing 45W support. It is known that the Note 13 5G supports 33W fast charging. Although it is clear that Xiaomi has made some changes, the decline in fast charging speed in the Pro model is a situation that can be criticized. It has also been confirmed that the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G will be the first smartphone with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor. The new Redmi Note 14 series is eagerly awaited and the devices are expected to be officially introduced towards the end of the month.
