Realme 14 Pro+ Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Realme 14 Pro+ - a leisurely pursuit of flagships

It is nice to see and realize how every year mid-price smartphones from the Chinese company Realme are acquiring better technical and other characteristics. At the same time, the manufacturer manages to keep the price of gadgets so that they are available to almost every electronics lover. Thus, the hero of today's review becomes one of the most technologically advanced and balanced phones in the price category.

The appearance of the new product turned out to be magnificent. The innovative feature of the glass case is a change in its color depending on the ambient temperature (more than 16 degrees - pearl white, below - blue). Also attract attention is the modern block of photo modules with a triple LED flash and extremely thin screen frames around the perimeter. We also praise the unit for having full protection against dust and moisture according to IP68 standards. It is a pity that the edging is not metal. Then it would be simply impossible to find fault with the exterior. The 6.83-inch AMOLED screen has everything it needs to please the user. The high resolution for the diagonal of 2664x1200 pixels ensures the clarity of the displayed image, the 120-Hz refresh rate gives it smoothness. It is difficult not to mention the natural color rendition, as well as the peak brightness of more than 2500 nits. People sensitive to the PWM effect can also rest assured, because it is almost absent from the installed AMOLED panel.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor is an amazing solution that will suit any buyer. The chipset bundle with 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM and the Adreno 810 video accelerator gives more than 800 thousand points in the AnTuTu test and runs all existing Android games. Of course, this is not a flagship CPU, so in projects like Genshin Impact it is better to set medium-high graphics settings for stable gameplay. But at the same time, there is almost no throttling, the heating of the monoblock is minimal. Energy efficiency is excellent, with a 6000 mAh battery it is easy to achieve more than two days of active use of the device. Fast wired charging with a power of 80 W will help to gain capacity in 45-50 minutes, but there is no wireless analog. On the other hand, its installation would negatively affect the cost of the product. 256/512 GB of permanent memory is allocated, there is no slot for MicroSD cards.

Photographic capabilities have advanced. The 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with three-fold optical zoom and OIS still copes well with shooting distant objects, and the 8-megapixel wide-angle module is also good. But the compliments will definitely go to the updated main Sony IMX896 sensor with hybrid stabilization, ready to provide detailed photos and videos in any lighting. Stereo speakers, contactless NFC payment, optimized Android 15, support for 5G networks add to the list of advantages of the future hit. There is no doubt about the commercial success of the device.
