Just bought the phone a week ago, (8+256) and so far, it's decent. I do play call of duty on it and it doesn't lag, only framedrops when I'm playing on medium graphics, when i set it to low, the gameplay is as smooth as butter. While I'm kinda sad it doesn't come with split screen and floating window, I do love its customizability and battery life. That large display is also a W for me because I love phones with large displays.
hey, hello from india.... lovely video you have here.... very simple and straight to the point. no extra spice, just the things a normal person needs to hear. you just.... earned a new follower ( this one is gonna last your whole life )
Is it good as a back up phone? I am not interested in games. Movies on Netflix or UA-cam while on travel are my concerns plus, of course, photo and video quality.
This is my plan actually, just bought the 14C 8/256 while I wait for the Note 14 Pro to arrive to my country later next year. Once I buy that one, I'll keep this as a secondary phone I'll use for work related stuff. And also bought two more of the 14C for my elderly parents so they can a decent phone that's easy on the eyes and has a lot of storage. Overall, a decent basic phone if all you're looking for is social Media Doomscrolling, Watching Movies and sharing family pics on WhatsApp.
And for those of us struggling with the Techno and Infinix brand labels? I get that you are not responsible for our nonsense, but what else comes close with named brands? Thanks in advance 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤❤❤
Samsung note 9 wont give you android 14 and future updates so the 14c would be a better choice. On the other hand if you want better performance not minding android updates then the note 9 is best.
One plus Nord has a better resolution but the infinix is better on paper for the most part. However, I haven't tested out the Nord so I can't speak definitively on it. Oh and welcome to the family 💪🏻💪🏻
Just saw this phone on offer at singles day 11.11 for almost 1/2 price and it has 8GB/256GB = GREAT. But what - no 5G .... and your review makes me NOT BUY IT .... perhaps next year Xiaomi has a better phone on budget .... stick with my Redmi 9 old 4/64gb for so long ;)
If you see it for half the price you should buy it 😂😂. I mostly have issues with its design and any less than 8Gb ram would lag a lot so if you can get one with 8Gb ram for half the price then that is a bargain.
love honest reviews like this and I hope Xiaomi stops putting those relatively useless 2 MP depth sensors on their low-mid range phones and I feel like that huge ring like camera cut-out was put to make the phone look "premium" from afar but its just terrible
@@TechCityExplorer but the hot50i has a 256 storage variant for the same price as a 128 one. Is that right? Also in terms of durability which is better? In the spark 30C I saw on their Yt channel about its "shock resistance" yet I never saw any mention of it in any review I saw.
@@TechCityExplorer I see, if I use lowest settings can it run without problem or there’s a lag? And I’m assuming if genshin is a struggle it can’t even run wuwa?
@@RaveAuclair call of duty on low graphics settings should work but PubG mobile works with slight lags on low graphics so I'm guessing genshin will have slight lags as well.

@TechCityExplorer I hear you but it's weird flipping your phone to use it again so I think that's why they do it. But either way I think different people prefer it in different places 😜
@@TechCityExplorerwhy do you even like the headphone jack at the bottom you haven't given any reason while those who prefer it at the top have given you a thousand reasons
@@TechCityExplorer probably some parts are coming from the same factory . Like I have a realme note 50 and when I checked for a software update some URL with Alibaba came up . Maybe they sourcing parts from Alibaba associated suppliers .
Bought the phone last week and all I have to say is that the phone is a total disappointment. It laggs so much, the RAM management is rubbish, you can't even switch between 3 apps without the apps starting afresh.
You guys made me didn't want to buy, omo next time I will not watch any video. I use the black Redmi 14C, so glad I bought it the first week it came out. I'm enjoying the device. I play my favourite game 'Frag' 🎯 no lags
I am glad you are enjoying yours, it is my job to tell it as it is and if you watched and listened properly you would hear my main concern being on its design which I also highlighted it looks better in black and yeah I still stand by my opinion its design is disappointing. As for games, you are obviously not a gamer else you would notice lags on high graphics demanding games. We are not saying you can't play them, you just have to do so on the lowest graphics settings which isn't great for real gamers and even then you will have slight lags. So yeah everything I said is true and if you are enjoying yours then by all means that is awesome. I haven't said people shouldn't get it, I only show you what to expect.
@@TechCityExplorer who expects full graphics gaming on an $80 device. I'm a gamer and if I want max performance I go for Redmagic or Asus ROG. I love the design and size of the device. Device appeals to everyone differently. It's good for everyday use like you said. The variant I got is 8GB/256GB
@@kingderri Also you based your comment based on the 8gb ram variant which can be misleading considering others might get the 4 or 6gb variants. It is an all round good device for average everyday users but has its limitations which has to be pointed out. Thanks for your engaging comments all the same, I appreciate it and encourage you to keep it up.
Check this out ua-cam.com/video/r7r_LjdBM0o/v-deo.html and yes it cost less than the Redmi 14C, also if you listened to me properly you would hear me say Redmi has had one on all their devices including the Redmi 13 so yeah I do.
If she doesn’t mind the design then yeah it will be fine for her. I personally prefer the spark 30c though but it is quite heavy. It boils down to what she prioritizes with phones. For videos the Redmi is better but for sound the spark 30c is better.
Lol, you would think so. Tecno single handedly affected the sales of all Redmi products in Nigeria, moves like that can force partnerships. Not with the entire xioami line of devices but just the ones meant for this region. However this is only my opinion and could be wrong.
@@TechCityExplorer Reason I won't buy a Infinix, Tecno or Itel as I have had before and any kind of update in nonexistent, at least with Xiaomi they send updates

Just bought one today. I like the camera ring and the jack for headphones on top. You're opinion is fine but not 💯 right
Awesome! glad you like it but not my favorite lol. An amazing device otherwise.
Will you recommend it than tecno 30 c
Nah, I would take the Tecno Spark 30C over it. Just my preference.
Is it good as a back up phone? I am not interested in games. Movies on Netflix or UA-cam while on travel are my concerns plus, of course, photo and video quality.

Good pm
Please what would you advise for a phone within the 179-190k range
I'm not sure how much tecno spark 30 pro will cost but I would recommend it.
The infinix Note 30 is a year old but for about 180k it might just be the best option.

Just bought this ..and it's work perfectly for me..i play COD with no issues..🤷🏻♀️
Awesome, I'm glad it is not causing you any concerns.
I don't think I have ever felt that a Redmi is disappointing, but this definitely is. Awesome review, Tech City. Big ups!!
Yeah I was pretty disappointed with the Redmi 13 but this is next level disappointment for me.
I had a redmi and it was disappointing in picture stability coz in the case of wind blowing and taking a picture your face will look blurry
I bought the 12C it's not proving the the best.
Grateful for this
Pls between Samsung Note 9 and dis 14C which one do u think is better to buy
Samsung note 9 wont give you android 14 and future updates so the 14c would be a better choice. On the other hand if you want better performance not minding android updates then the note 9 is best.
Pls can you confirm if this phone has a LED light in the front camera.
It actually doesn’t, it uses its screen to brighten up your face in place of an led light
I would only like to play games like hitman sniper, find joe dan the man stuff like that in redmi 14c. Am i wanting too much in this phone???
I haven't tried any of those so I can't say how demanding they are but mid to low graphics demanding games should be just fine
Is redmi 14c performance good (gaming)
It is decent but not great. Fine for its price.
I just got a 6GB/128GB of 13C, 14C does not have official rating for a corning gorilla glass rating
Same issue for me too.
Is this the next big phone reviewer? Keep it up this vid is amazing
I am a chosen! 😂😂 (inside joke). thanks for the compliment 🙏🏻, very much appreciated.
Hi i am your new subscriber ! I think Oneplus nord N30 SE is the best choice in this price !

Hi great review but Redmi 14c was released first than the spark 30c
🙏🏻 Thank you. It is about 9 days between them on their release dates so there is definitely a partnership in the design department.

Between this, Infinix Hot 50i and tecno spark 30C which is the best one?
I personally prefer the tecno spark 30c, however the infinix Hot 50i and spark 30c are basically the same.

Cus that's the main reason I'm getting a new phone.
My current phone lags when using capcut
Get the 8gb ram version, with its screen size it should be a better option in that price range.

One question, can it handle wuwa and genshin?
Genshin would be a struggle, I wouldn't recommend it.

Ok, which mobile should be bought for high end games in this price range, you know not everyone can afford ROG phones😢

It is between the Tecno spark 30c and Redmi 14C. Comes down to personal preference with these two in terms of display size and design.
Here is my comparison of both - ua-cam.com/video/iH4RIl3CYgI/v-deo.html
the views are way too less for such a high quality of video

Still doesn't because it only serves that one purpose which is an easy fix by flipping your phone.

The Tecno spark 30c is under 100 dollars yet pretty decent.
But the 14c came out in August and 30c just this month
They have got just about 9 days apart on their release dates so they definitely did compare notes in my opinion.
