The Realme GT 7 Pro arrived in Europe with a launch discount of €200, but after that ended, the price jumped. Now it’s down to almost the same level again with a €180 discount. This phone gives you early access to Snapdragon 8 Elite performance and packs premium features like a gently curved 6.78” LTPO OLED display (1264p+, 120Hz, 10-bit colors) and IP68/IP69 rating.
This model doesn’t skimp on either camera with a 50MP main (1/1.56” sensor, f/1.8 lens with OIS), a 50MP 73mm telephoto module (3x magnification, f/2.7 lens with OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide. The battery is massive at 6,500mAh and (as per the norm for the GT series) charging is screamingly fast at 120W (13 minutes to 50%, 37 minutes to 100%).
Stepping back a generation, there’s the Realme GT 6T. As it was last week, it costs €380. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 is no match for an elite chip, but it gives older flagship chips like the 8 Gen 2 a run for their money.
And you still get a high-quality 6.78” LTPO OLED display (1264p+, 120Hz, 10-bit). The battery also supports 120W charging, although its capacity is only 5,500mAh – which is still more than most phones out there. Some things are dialed back, like water resistance (IP64) and the camera – there’s a 50MP main (with a smaller 1/1.95” sensor and f/1.9 lens with OIS), plus an 8MP ultra-wide (but no tele).
The Redmi Note 14 series arrived in Europe last week, but these aren’t the same models as the “Redmi Note 14” phones that are sold in India and China.
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is the top dog with Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and 120W fast charging, plus a glass back option (some colors have a vegan leather back). And you can get it in 12/512GB configuration.
That said, the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is almost the same phone, except it uses the Dimensity 7300 Ultra, has a battery with 45W charging, and the back options are plastic or vegan leather. However, you get the same curved 6.67” 1220p+ OLED display with 12-bit colors, the same 200MP main camera and 8MP ultra-wide, the same IP68 dust and water resistance, and the same 5,110mAh battery capacity. And this is €100 cheaper than the Pro+ (looking at the 12/512GB model).
The 4G variant of the Redmi Note 14 Pro is available, instead this one is powered by the Helio G100 Ultra. You save €50, but lose performance. Also, the screen resolution is low (1080p+), as is the water resistance rating (IP64). However, the camera is basically the same, plus you get expandable storage (a microSD card can replace SIM2), a 3.5mm headphone jack and a larger 5,500mAh battery with the same 45W charging.
Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G and 5G look closer than they actually are in terms of pricing as there is currently no discount on the 4G model. If it’s your favorite model, we’d suggest waiting a bit.
The same goes for the Redmi Note 14 5G, which is also currently without any discount. It is powered by a Dimensity 7025 Ultra and a 5,110mAh battery with 45W charging.
Redmi Note 14 4G does Get a discount – it’s €50 off, leaving a big gap between it and its 5G sibling. It is powered by the Helio G99 Ultra and a large 5,500mAh battery with slow 33W charging. Both phones have 108MP cameras, but only the 5G variant has OIS and 8MP ultra-wide – the 4G phone lacks OIS and the depth sensor replaces the UW module. Both phones feature a 6.67” 1080p+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
