Realme 14 Pro+ 5G

I've been using the Realme 14 Pro+ 5G for a while now, and I'm blown away by its value for money. The build quality is top-notch - it's solid, sturdy, and feels premium in the hand. Performance is seamless, and the battery life is insane. I've been getting a full day's use with plenty of juice left over. I've been putting this phone through its paces, and it's handled everything I've thrown at it with ease. Whether I'm browsing, gaming, or just using it for everyday tasks, it's been a total breeze.

Why I'm Hooked on My Realme Phone and Why You Should Be Too

summarizeEditor's Summary

I've had the pleasure of owning several Realme phones, but my latest model has truly won me over. The display and color accuracy are a huge improvement over my previous 9 Pro, where the colors were way too cold. I'm loving the customizable and functional interface, which makes it a joy to navigate. One of the main reasons I chose this model was the need for more storage space, and I'm glad I made the switch. The battery life is also a total win for me, lasting longer than I expected. If you're in the market for a new phone, I'd definitely recommend checking out the Realme.

I've had the pleasure of owning several Realme phones, including the 9 Pro and the 3 Pro, but my latest model has truly won me over. What made me switch, since my 9 Pro is still going strong and I really love it? I just needed more space on my phone and wanted something new.
One of the standout features of this new model is the display and color accuracy. The colors are super natural-looking, which is a huge improvement over the 9 Pro, where the colors were way too cold, even when I set the color temperature to max.
I love how customizable and functional my phone is in the Realme. To be honest, I've always ordered phones straight from China, but the global version. This time, I decided to try the Chinese firmware, but the Chinese version cost 21k (without customs) and the global version or Russian version starts at 35k and goes up to crazy prices.
The global and Chinese versions have different processors and built-in software.
Just look at how beautiful it is. On a sunny day, the back (which looks like it's made from real seashells) shimmers in a stunning way.
And when it's cold outside, the phone changes color and turns a lovely blue. It's gorgeous!
My phone comes with a built-in fingerprint scanner right on the display. And let me tell you, it's a game-changer. I love how I can just touch my finger to the scanner and instantly measure my pulse. I have to say, I'm not a fan of the black bumper that comes with the phone. I wish I had just stuck with the original color. On the bright side, the phone does come with a protective screen guard pre-applied, which is a nice touch.
Of course, after activating the phone, I was bombarded with a bunch of Chinese apps. But the good news is that you can easily delete them (although some may come back if you reinstall them). I actually kept a few of the Chinese apps, like OppoHealth, because they're really useful. If you're planning to use the phone in Russia, you'll need to delete all the apps that aren't compatible with the local market. But what I love about the phone is that it's got so many features built-in, like digital wallets, schedules, tickets, and even news and TV shows.
For example, you can even watch dramas on the phone. Some are free, while others require a small payment (like Kinopoisk).
The widgets for the useful apps are super convenient:
What really impressed me were the life apps and a few AI features that are available here in Russia too. Plus, the Chinese version comes with earthquake warnings, weather alerts, smog warnings in cities, a medical card (!!!), multiple emergency phone numbers, and free calls in case of an emergency.
I also love how you can set up the App Store to your region:
One thing I love is the built-in screen translator. The UI and system look are super customizable to any taste. And with the theme app, the options are endless. My default theme is: I'm also a big fan of the Relmi for its massive batteries. Whether it's the S3 or the Pro 9, the charging time is ridiculously long:
The camera is an absolute thrill ride - I'm loving all the modes, and the night mode is seriously impressive. I haven't taken many photos yet, but I'll probably add some more shots to this review later. And yes, it's waterproof - I've submerged it a few times and it still works like a charm.
Here's the first photo I took after turning it on:
Check out this shot taken in the dark with the flash on:
The zoom is insane - it's got a seriously long reach without sacrificing any quality until the very end:
Here's a shot taken in natural daylight:
And here's a shot taken with a dim lamp and me running to get the dog:
And finally, here's a shot taken with auto exposure in the dark:
Astrophotography mode (takes a 5-minute shot):
Manual mode with its settings (iso 3200, focus at infinity, shutter speed 15-20 sec): By the way, the photos of the phone itself were taken on the new Samsung that my mom bought (she's a fan). BUT when we compare the functionality of our phones, my mom sighs and says we should've gotten a Realme instead
The phone has a bunch of nifty features, and they're actually pretty useful and convenient. For example, not everyone got the triple flash, but the point is that you can adjust the color temperature of that flash
With the zoom, it's overkill. While the optical zoom works, the image quality is good, but when the digital zoom kicks in, forget about it. Photos through a dirty screen:
1x 6x 30x 120x I'm really happy with my purchase. The camera, functionality, design, and battery life all check out. To be honest, I think Chinese smartphones are giving those Samsungs and the like a run for their money. I'd definitely recommend this one.
