Extreme budget phone, as expected from this price range:-
Very slow and slugish.
If you are a medium level user then dont for it.

It may only have a notch instead of a punch hole and the bezel at the bottom maybe bigger but the animations are smoother and the overall experience is just better. The SuperAMOLED is noticeably better too, despite this one being brighter.

Hey everyone! I'm planning to buy a new phone and have narrowed it down to these four options (all 4G basic variants)
Redmi Note 13
Redmi Note 14
Realme 12
Samsung Galaxy A16
Here’s how I typically use my phone:
Not a gamer, and not into photography just need a decent camera to clearly capture documents and notes for work.
Heavy media user , especially on weekends I often binge-watch shows/movies for 8–10 hours with.
Regularly listen to music, use social media (Instagram, Twitter, etc.), and chat a lot.
I absolutely hate laggy performance and over heating
I want a smooth and responsive phone.
Priorities: Good display, long battery life, and no heating issues even with long screen time.
I’ve heard Redmi phones sometimes face heating issues — is that true for these models, especially the Note 13 and 14?
If you’ve used or know about the performance of any of these phones, please share your experience. Which one would you recommend based on my needs?
A bad phone, and Xiaomi is getting worse.
What about the bad wide-angle camera and the even worse front camera? It would have been better if you hadn't added them.
Stop fooling people.
Its price is high for its specifications.
Also, the names of mobile phones are stupid and long these days.
This phone has mostly the advantages when it comes to hardware within its price range yet it manages to perform lesser in regular usage compared to its competition. It doesn't even have the nicest animations and transitions yet it jitters at times. The inefficiency of the software, of HyperOS in general, is really palpable. Phone relies too much on the hardware that the efficiency of the OS is an afterthought.

This is the worst smartphone that I had. Even this is a midrange phone, the performance was crap all aspects and even start lagging after opening shopee or facebook. Sometimes it makes black screen and have a very cheap camera quality. I do not recommend this go buy infinix phone instead and avoid xiaomi redmi series. I have realme 5 and the performace is the same.
On paper this phone looks like very good value for the price but when i use it for two months it looks it's been intentionally limited to force the customers to buy the 5g and pro variants...im very disappointed
The note 10 from 4 years ago can play and record 4k video normally but this one can't play 4k and doesn't even have 1080 60fps
The camera despite having a 108 sensor but it feels like its from 10 years ago
No video pro mode
The os filled with bloatware apps that keeps working even after restricting it
The optimized charging feature does not work at all which means your phone can go crazy hot when using the supplied charger especially in hot days
All this issues can be fixed easily by the company
Updated to 2.0.10.0 VNGMIXM
Maybe just me but phone, based on regular use, seems to be smoother. Still no unlock animation though. The home screen simply opens like a beta release.
I like this phone because it hasAMOLED display, 120hz refresh rate, punch-hole display with thin bezels, it is lightweight and most importantly cheap as dirt! Don't buy a flagship for the same features, nothing is lacking in this besides maybe ui which you can debloat or custom rom and just a bit slower processor and that's it! Now go buy s25 ultra so that you can have status just for 1 year. Welcome to the matrix, Neo.
I have been using this phone since 2024, and it's handled games like Call of Duty and PUBG without any lag at all
My experience to Note13 4g mobile performance is 50-50 but one thing, i have never seen before this company mobile very very strong nowadays 😲
Anonymous, 01 Apr 2025note 14 looks worse but its a huge upgrade
It my look bad but trust me it's not all that bad, moreover it an upgrade the only missing thing is the ultra wide camera
You can shoot videos on 1080p 60fps and currently there's circle to search on the note 14
It's better than the note 14 in terms of battery and screen, but the OS update is still better than the note 14 but we know the snapdragon isn't too hot when compared to the hot one-million-dollar g99 chipset.
Anonymous, 01 Apr 2025note 14 looks worse but its a huge upgrade redmi note 14 4g bezels are huge, even in this price range of 150 euro. Is this innovation, going back to nokia-like bezels ??? ..
