The device features a sleek form factor with dimensions of approximately 162.4 × 75.7 × 8 mm and a weight around 190 g, matching its Redmi Note 14 5G sibling. It employs a plastic back and glass front—likely Gorilla Glass 5—while offering IP64 dust and splash resistance.

Price
| variant | Price |
| 6 GB/128 GB | ₹17,999 |
| 8 GB/128 GB | ₹18,999 |
| 8 GB/256 GB | ₹20,999 |
Anticipated pricing at launch in India is expected to align with Redmi Note 14 5G’s earlier pricing: approximately ₹17,999 for 6 GB/128 GB, ₹18,999 for 8 GB/128 GB, and up to ₹20,999 for 8 GB/256 GB variants. In Europe, leaks estimate retail between €200 and €250 (~₹18K‑20K). This positioning places the SE variant firmly in the budget‑to‑lower‑mid range, offering competitive value.
Display
| Redmi Note 14 SE | Specs |
| Display | 6.67″ AMOLED, 120 Hz |
| Resolution | Full HD+ (1080×2400) |
| Peak brightness | 2,100 nits (HDR10+) |
| Protection | Corning Gorilla Glass 5 |
The Redmi Note 14 SE model is confirmed to include a 6.67″ AMOLED panel running at 120 Hz with Full HD+ (1080×2400) resolution (~395 ppi) and a peak brightness of 2,100 nits, making it excellent for outdoor viewing. The display supports HDR10+, Widevine L1, 100% DCI‑P3, and TÜV Rheinland certification for reduced flicker and low blue‑light emissions. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 provides protection, and the screen-to-body ratio sits close to 87%. Overall, the panel ticks most boxes for this class: vibrant, fluid, durable, and bright.
Performance & OS
| Process | MediaTek Dimensity 7025 Ultra (6 nm) |
| octa-core setup | (2× Cortex‑A78 at 2.5 GHz + 6× Cortex‑A55 at 2.0 GHz) |
Under the hood is the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 Ultra SoC, built on a 6 nm process featuring an octa-core setup (2× Cortex‑A78 at 2.5 GHz + 6× Cortex‑A55 at 2.0 GHz), paired with the IMG BXM‑8‑256 GPU. The available RAM configurations likely range from 6 GB to 8 GB, with internal storage of 128 GB or 256 GB, expandable via micro‑SD up to 1 TB
The SE runs Android 15 with Xiaomi’s HyperOS skin and inherits Redmi’s update policy—though rollout specifics for the SE haven’t yet appeared on the Xiaomi support site. Based on the 5G variant lineage, official support is likely 2 Android OS upgrades, with 4 years of security updates, matching Redmi Note 14 SE 5G refresh terms (EOL around January 2029)
Battery & Charging
| Battery | 5110 mAh |
| Charging | 33 W or 67 W fast charging |
It features a 5110 mAh battery, matching its Note 14 SE 5G sibling. Official leaks haven’t confirmed charger speed—but industry speculation suggests either 33 W or 67 W fast charging capabilities; the Note 14 SE 5G uses 45 W. Previous battery tests of Note 14 SE 5G showed endurance around ~19.4 hours in PC Mark and charging from 20% to 100% in under 40 minutes. The SE likely shares comparable performance or slightly improved efficiency due to HyperOS optimizations.
Camera
| Camera | Specs |
| Main | 50 MP Sony LYT‑600 sensor (OIS) |
| ultra‑wide | 8 MP |
| macro or depth | 2 MP |
| Video | 1080p at 30 fps |
| Selfie camera | 20 MP f/2.2 |
| Video | 1080p at 30 fps |
The rear camera system centers on a 50 MP Sony LYT‑600 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) and likely uses an f/1.5 aperture, the same as the Note 14 SE 5G mode. The supporting sensors are expected to be an 8 MP ultra‑wide and a 2 MP macro or depth module, though exact details aren’t official yet. Video capability is capped at 1080p at 30 fps for both rear and front cameras.
The selfie camera likely mirrors the 20 MP f/2.2 setup from the Note 14 SE 5G. Early leaks note multimedia experience is robust—stereo speakers with support for Dolby Atmos enhance the media side
Durability
| Redmi Note 14 SE 5G | Specs |
| Build quality | Gorilla Glass 5 on the front plastic back panel |
| Resistance | IP64-rated splash and dust resistance |
Build quality mirrors its Note 14 SE brethren: Gorilla Glass 5 on the front, a plastic back panel, and IP64-rated splash and dust resistance—a respectable feat at this price point. Some models in the Note 14 SE range even use “All‑Star Armor” frame reinforcement—though this may be limited to the Pro/Pro+ versions. Community reviewers praised the Note 14 4G for durability and build consistency, even at aggressive pricing. Overall, SE should be rugged enough for everyday use and casual drops.
Security & Extras
Security includes an in-display optical fingerprint sensor, plus standard sensors (proximity, gyro, compass, and accelerometer). Extras include an FM radio, IR blaster, 3.5 mm headphone jack, dual‑stereo speakers, Hi‑Res audio certification, Dolby Atmos support, NFC availability (region‑dependent), and USB Type‑C with OTG support.
It is TÜV Rheinland certified for flicker‑free display and low blue‑light options, making it easier on the eyes during long use. All in all, the feature set rivals many devices at double the price.
Software Support & Partnerships
While Xiaomi has confirmed 4 years of security updates and 2 Android OS upgrades for the Redmi Note 14 5G globally (expected to run up to Android 16 by January 2029). the base Redmi Note 14 4G model receives 4 OS upgrades + 6 years of patches, making it longer‑supported—ironically at a lower spec tier
Redmi’s global software roadmap still leaves room for ambiguity; SE, being 5G‑based, likely follows the 5G variant’s terms. The device will ship with HyperOS on Android 14, and future upgrades to Android 15/16 via HyperOS versions are likely. Xiaomi’s partnership announcements haven’t yet revealed SE‑specific third‑party tie‑ups, but the Redmi Note series often benefits from bundled membership services and app promotions in India and Europe (e.g., streaming offers).
Performance Highlights
- Display & multimedia: The 120 Hz AMOLED screen with HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos‑enabled stereo speakers delivers a premium multimedia experience for the price. High brightness (2,100 nits) ensures readability outdoors
- Camera stabilization: Optical image stabilization on the 50 MP Sony sensor allows sharper handheld shots compared to many rivals in the ₹20K category.
- Battery life: With 5,110 mAh and fast charging (45 W or potentially faster), endurance is solid based on Note 14 5G benchmarks (~19 h PC Mark). Charging remains efficient.
- Balanced SoC: Dimensity 7025 Ultra delivers snappy UI handling, light gaming, and smooth multitasking. In real use, user tests show acceptable performance though not flagship‑grade
- Robust build: IP64 splash protection, Gorilla Glass, and a consistently rugged feel elevate it above many plastic‑heavy competitors.
- Extensive features: Fingerprint under display, IR remote, headphone jack, FM radio, and expandable storage—all rare in this segment.
Final Verdict
The Redmi Note 14 SE 5G is shaping up to be one of the strongest contenders in the ₹17–20K (or €200–250) segment for 2025. Its strengths include
- A top‑tier AMOLED 120 Hz display with HDR support and high brightness,
- OIS‑equipped 50 MP camera that outpaces many rivals in this class,
- Solid battery life and fast charging,
- A modern 5G chipset offering usable performance,
- Durable design with IP64 rating and quality build materials,
- An array of practical extras rarely bundled at this price.
Weaknesses to consider:
- No 4K video support, and auxiliary cameras (ultrawide/macro) are modest at best.
- Software support is only moderate: 2 Android updates and 4 years of security patches, less impressive compared to Note 14 4G’s 4+6 year policy
- MIUI/HyperOS still has reports of bugs or bloatware—as community feedback on other Note 14 models indicates
Still, for buyers prioritizing display quality, battery life, general performance, and camera stabilization—without wanting to spend big—it represents a compelling choice. It captures most of what the higher-tier Pro variants offer, minus extreme camera resolution or ultra‑fast charging.
As always, for long‑term value or upgrade timelines, one may judge if 2 OS upgrades suffice—but overall, the Redmi Note 14 SE 5G emerges as a well‑rounded performer in its price bracket.
