Deals: Realme GT 7 Pro price drops, Redmi Note 14 series launches with some discounts
The Realme GT 7 Pro arrived in Europe with a launch discount of €200, but after that was over, the price jumped. Now it’s down to almost that 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 an IP68/IP69 rating.
This model doesn’t skimp on the cameras either 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 huge at 6,500mAh and (as is the norm for the GT series) charging is screaming fast at 120W (13 minutes to 50%, 37 minutes to 100%).
Rolling back one generation, there is the Realme GT 6T. Just as it did last week, this one costs €380. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 is no match for the 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 supports 120W charging too, though its capacity is only 5,500mAh – that’s still more than most phones out there. A few things are dialed back like the water resistance (IP64) and the cameras – there is a 50MP main (with a smaller 1/1.95” sensor and an 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 phones called “Redmi Note 14” that are sold in India and China.
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is the top dog with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and 120W fast charging, plus a glass back option (some colors have vegan leather backs instead). And you can get it in a 12/512GB configuration.
That said, the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is nearly the same phone, except it uses the Dimensity 7300 Ultra, its battery does 45W charging and the options for the back 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, same IP68 dust and water resistance and same 5,110mAh battery capacity. And this one is €100 cheaper than the Pro+ (looking at the 12/512GB models).
A 4G variant of the Redmi Note 14 Pro is available, this one powered by the Helio G100 Ultra instead. You save €50, but lose performance. Also, the screen resolution is lower (1080p+), as is the water resistance rating (IP64). However, the cameras are 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.
The Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G and 5G appear closer in terms of price than they actually are since the 4G model currently doesn’t have a discount. If that is your preferred model, we’d suggest waiting for a bit.
The same goes for the Redmi Note 14 5G, which is also with no discount at the moment. This one is based on the Dimensity 7025 Ultra and a 5,110mAh battery with 45W charging.
The Redmi Note 14 4G does have a discount – it’s €50 off, which leaves a big gap between it and its 5G sibling. This one is powered by the Helio G99 Ultra and a larger 5,500mAh battery with slower 33W charging. Both phones have 108MP cameras, but only the 5G variant has OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide – the 4G phone has no OIS and a depth sensor replaces the UW module. Both phones have 6.67” 1080p+ OLED displays with 120Hz refresh rate.
