Xiaomi has been steadily expanding its global footprint, and its latest move into the Irish market is a clear sign of the tech giant’s ambition. For Irish consumers, that means more device options, competitive pricing, and innovative features that Xiaomi is known for in other markets. Leading the charge is the much-anticipated Redmi Note 14 Pro+, a smartphone that aims to strike the perfect balance between affordability and flagship-like performance. Here’s an in-depth look at the phone’s specifications, potential Irish pricing, and the impact of Xiaomi’s arrival on the local market.
Design and Display
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ keeps with Xiaomi’s sleek, modern design style, not gonna lie their new range of handsets look the part. Sporting a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, this phone ensures vibrant colours and fluid scrolling—ideal for everything from casual web browsing to mobile gaming sessions. The edge-to-edge screen design and slim bezels give the device a premium look that’s more in line with higher-priced flagships.
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ features a glass front and back (Gorilla Glass protection, depending on region) with an aluminum or sturdy polycarbonate frame. This design gives it a sleek, modern appearance—far removed from what you’d expect in a mid-range handset. At roughly 8.0 mm thick and weighing around 190–200 g, it’s comfortable to hold despite its large screen size.
Performance and Hardware
Under the hood, the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ packs a Snapdragon 7+ Gen processor (or a powerful MediaTek Dimensity variant, depending on the region), paired with 6GB to 12GB of RAM to handle multitasking and demanding apps with ease. The phone also includes 5G connectivity, making it future-proof for Ireland’s expanding 5G network. Whether you’re streaming high-quality video, gaming, or juggling work apps, the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is designed to keep up without breaking a sweat.
Camera Capabilities
Xiaomi has built a reputation for offering impressive camera systems at competitive price points, and the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is no exception. The 200MP main camera (paired with ultra-wide and macro lenses) delivers sharp, detailed photos in various lighting conditions and it uses pixel-binning technology to produce sharp, vibrant images. This allows for excellent detail capture in both daylight and low-light conditions. While in the “selfie” cam we get a 16MP to 32MP front-facing shooter (depending on the model) supports portrait mode and various AI enhancements—great for selfie enthusiasts.
The AI-powered features help with scene detection and colour optimization, ensuring your snaps look vibrant and social-media ready. On the front, a high-resolution selfie camera provides crisp selfies and supports features like portrait mode for that perfect bokeh effect.
Battery Life and Charging
One of the standout features of the Redmi series has always been robust battery life. The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ comes equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, which should comfortably see most users through a full day of intensive use. When you do need a top-up, 120W fast charging means you can go from near-empty to fully charged in a matter of minutes, 20–25 minutes is the claim and to be honest from my hands on perspective its about right.—perfect for people always on the go.
Software Experience
Running on MIUI, Xiaomi’s customized Android skin, the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ will provide a range of personalization options. MIUI has evolved significantly, offering a clean interface, handy shortcuts, and features like app cloning and dual space. While occasional pre-installed apps also formerly known as bloatware appear, Xiaomi has been making an effort to reduce this issue, ensuring a smoother overall user experience. Because let’s be honest those apps that take up space that we don’t want or need are very very annoying.
Xiaomi in the Irish Market
The arrival of Xiaomi in Ireland shakes up a landscape previously dominated by familiar brands like Samsung and Apple. Competitive pricing has always been a Xiaomi hallmark, and with the Redmi Note 14 Pro+, Irish consumers can expect flagship-level features at a mid-range cost. Availability through local carriers and online retailers is likely to make this device a compelling choice for those wanting a high-spec phone without the flagship price tag.
Based on Xiaomi’s pricing strategy, the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is priced about €500 through They will be available through authorised retailers like Tesco, Vodafone, Harvey Norman, and Eir. Meaning you can get a handset from your network or open to all sims via an electronic retailers.
