And based on our hands-on experience, here is our in-depth Realme 14 Pro+ review.

Realme 14 Pro+ design again carries this approach. We had the Suede Grey colour variant for this review and we loved what Realme has tried to do with the phone. The brand claims this is the first vegan suede leather back panel in the segment. This is also the first bio-based suede leather on a Realme phone. We are not fans of suede texture mainly because it is hard to maintain. But Realme has managed to make it look too classy to not like. There is a fleece-like texture, which makes the phone feel very soft in the hands. It’s fingerprint-resistant, so that’s a plus. Also, it is wear-resistant, anti-fouling and anti-slip, which overall enhances the durability of the phone. If you worry about suede getting ruined with daily use, you shouldn’t. The phone also comes with an IP66/IP68/IP69 rating, which is the highest level of water and dust resistance available. The circular camera module with a glass cover and a metal ring at the top centre complements the back panel perfectly. It houses three lens cutouts paired with two flashes and a fill light. The phone has a very slim profile with just 7.99mm thickness. It is also quite lightweight at 196g. All this only adds to the comfort and ergonomics. The metal SS frame with rounded corners gives the phone its premium aesthetic. Overall, Realme 14 Pro+ looks the part. It is a premium phone in both look and feel. Realme 14 Pro+ Display Performance Realme 14 Pro+ Display Performance We are getting a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED quad-curved display that will instantly remind you of the previous generation display. First of all, the display is huge with 93.8% highest screen-to-body ratio. This punch-hole display comes with 1.6mm ultra-slim symmetrical bezels that make the viewing experience very immersive. The slightly curved edges add to the immersiveness during the streaming. The visuals appear vibrant and sharp with excellent colour reproduction. High-definition videos look stunning on this display that comes with 100% DCI-P3 and 5,000,000:1 contrast. It also supports a 120Hz high refresh rate, so scrolling and otherwise display use is quite smooth. We didn’t face any noticeable touch issues or lags also. It comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, so you don’t have to worry about scratches or accidental drops. Another significant feature is that the phone supports 3840Hz PWM+DC Dimming, which actually helps in reducing eye strain while using the phone in low light conditions. The display adapts itself pretty well in different lighting. It also supports 1500nits of peak brightness, so you can use it quite easily outdoors in broad daylight as well. We tried using it in sunlight and didn’t face any significant issues. Realme 14 Pro+ Hardware, Software and Performance Realme 14 Pro+ Hardware, Software and Performance Realme 14 Pro+ has the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 Chipset with the basic architecture same as that of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

The Snapdragon chipset handles everyday tasks effortlessly with no noticeable issues in general smartphone usage. It is also well supported by both hardware and software for more demanding tasks as well. We tried multitasking on the phone with almost 9 to 10 apps running in the background and the phone held itself quite well. It remained smooth with no significant lags. You can also rely on this device for your gaming needs. It offers smooth frame rates throughout the gaming session even when played on higher settings. Graphic-heavy games like Call of Duty or Genshin Impact played out decently. A good thing we observed is how well the temperature is managed as we didn’t experience any heating issues even after prolonged gaming sessions. The phone comes with a 6000mm² 3D VC Cooling System with the largest VC cooling area in the segment We ran every major benchmark test on the phones and the results were impressive. Here are some of the benchmarking results for reference. Realme 14 Pro+ ships with Realme UI 6.0 based on Android 15 out of the box. The UI has Realme’s signature style. It comes with a bunch of pre-loaded apps, which you can uninstall for a more cleaner UI. Overall, it is simple and easy to get used to.
