Keep in mind: Redmi has the higher stated peak brightness and Dolby Vision support. realme gives you the larger 6.83-inch viewing area and stronger IP69 protection.
Performance and software
Both phones use the same 4nm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 with Cortex-A720 performance cores up to 2.5GHz, so their underlying processor capability is closely matched.
| Specification | Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G | realme 14 Pro+ 5G |

Pro tip: Do not choose between these phones only from the processor name. Their benchmark results differ despite using the same chipset because software, cooling and memory tuning also affect performance.
Camera features
realme adds a 50MP periscope camera with 3x optical zoom, while Redmi uses a 50MP telephoto camera with 2.5x optical zoom and a 20MP front camera.
| Specification | Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G | realme 14 Pro+ 5G |
|---|
| Rear camera setup | 50MP + 50MP + 8MP | 50MP + 50MP + 8MP |
| Main camera | 50MP Light Fusion 800, f/1.6, OIS | 50MP Sony IMX896, f/1.8, OIS |
| Telephoto | 50MP, 2.5x optical zoom | 50MP Sony IMX882 periscope, 3x optical zoom |
| Ultra-wide camera | 8MP | 8MP, 112-degree field of view |
| Front camera | 20MP | 32MP with autofocus |
| Rear video | Up to 4K at 30 frames per second | Up to 4K |
| Front video | Not used here | Up to 4K |
Buy this if: realme is more suitable if long-range portraits and zoom matter because it has a dedicated 3x periscope system. Redmi still gives you a 2.5x optical telephoto camera.
Storage and connectivity
Both phones support up to 512GB internal storage and 5G, while Redmi officially lists Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and an infrared blaster.
