(Xiaomi) Redmi Note 14 Pro+ scores higher on the OH Rank (41 vs 39), winning 3 of 10 categories including Screen and IP Protection. Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro is 2.1mm wider than (Xiaomi) Redmi Note 14 Pro+. (Xiaomi) Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is the more recent release, from Sep 2024.
EDITORIAL: One of the most impressive midranges is back with a much improved battery endurance (but slower charging). The 200MP main camera sensor has been replaced by a 50MP one but there is now a solid 2.5X zoom and a decent ultrawide too. The phone feels solid and well build, flagship-like.
Both phones here were scored by me, using the same ten categories, with no ads, sponsorships, or manufacturer relationships — this comparison is as objective and honest as it gets.
