(Xiaomi) Redmi Note 14 Pro+ scores higher on the OH Rank (41 vs 39), winning 3 of 10 categories including Battery and Screen. Samsung Galaxy A36 is 4.1mm wider than (Xiaomi) Redmi Note 14 Pro+. Samsung Galaxy A36 is the more recent release, from Mar 2025.
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 The 200MP main camera sensor has been replaced by a 50MP one but there is now a solid 2.5X zoom and a decent ultrawide too.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.
