Redmi is all set to unveil its latest Redmi Note 13 series of smartphones on January 4th. Interestingly, India will be the first market outside of China to receive this new lineup.

Realme 12 Pro vs. Redmi Note 14 Pro: Anticipated Clash in the Near Future
Recent reports have shed light on Realme’s plans to introduce the Realme 12 series in the first quarter of 2024. While specifics about the Realme 12 lineup remain under wraps, details about the Realme 12 Pro series have started surfacing.
Realme 12 Pro Series: What to Expect
The Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ are anticipated to house the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. Word on the street suggests that the Realme 12 Pro might sport a 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. On the other hand, the Realme 12 Pro+ could come equipped with a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom.
Redmi’s Next Move: The Note 14 Series to Challenge Realme’s Pro Lineup
According to insiders, the imminent Realme 12 series, especially the Pro variants, might encounter competition from Redmi’s Note 14 series. Given that the Redmi Note 13 series was revealed in China last September, a six-month gap is expected before the arrival of the Redmi Note 14 lineup. This points toward a possible launch in the first quarter of 2024, likely in February.
The leaks suggest that the Note 14 series will sport a curved-edge display, boast flagship-level features, and fall within the same price range as its Realme counterparts. Additionally, it might decentralize some camera features seen in the company’s flagship smartphones.
Speculations Abound: What Might the Redmi Note 14 Series Offer?
As of now, details regarding the specifications of the Redmi Note 14 series are scarce. Given the competitive telephoto and periscope telephoto cameras expected in Realme’s 12 Pro series at a price of approximately 2,000 Yuan (~$280), there’s speculation that the Redmi Note 14 Pro could feature a telephoto camera while the Note 14 Pro+ might incorporate a periscope telephoto camera. However, it’s premature to make assumptions about the Note 14 lineup. It’s prudent to wait for further reports to surface before drawing conclusions about its specifications.
