Pros

Light as a feather, thin as a pancake—182 grams and just 7.6mm thick. Seriously, you’ll forget it’s in your pocket until you sit down weird.

• Battery’s a beast: 6000mAh keeps you going all day, and with 80W charging, you’ll hit 50% in less time than it takes to find your charging cable behind the couch (well, almost—24 minutes).

• The display? 6.77-inch AMOLED, 120Hz. Super smooth, colors pop, but don’t expect it to blind you in direct sunlight. At 1400 nits, it’s bright-ish, but not flagship territory.

• IP68/IP69 rating—so go ahead, spill your coffee or drop it in the sand. This thing laughs at dust and water.

Cons

The Dimensity 7300 chip is fine for your average doomscrolling or emails, but fire up a heavy game and it’ll start wheezing. Snapdragon 8 Elite this is not.

• Camera setup is—meh. The 50MP main sensor is decent in daylight, but the 2MP depth sensor? Honestly, feels like they just slapped it on for the spec sheet. No ultrawide, no telephoto.

• 388 PPI screen means it’s not as razor-sharp as the fancier GT 7 Pro (which flexes at 450 PPI).

• No IR blaster, which is... annoying if you’re that “remote control everything” kind of person.

• Plastic body. Doesn’t scream “luxury,”

Design Vibes

Super light at 182g, plastic frame and back. But hey, at least it’s not gonna shatter if you drop it (probably). IP68/IP69 makes it tougher than most mid-rangers. Curved screen gives it some style points, but plastic is plastic.

2. Screen Time

6.77-inch AMOLED, 120Hz—heck yeah for smooth scrolling and the occasional Mario Kart binge. But the 1080 x 2392 resolution (388 PPI) is just okay, not “wow.” 1400 nits brightness is fine unless you’re roasting under the midday sun.

3. Cameras

50MP main cam with OIS pulls off nice pics when the sun’s out, but low light? Let’s just say, don’t expect miracles. The 2MP depth sensor is basically just hanging out. No ultrawide, no telephoto. The 32MP selfie cam, though, is fire for selfies and 4K video—your socials will thank you.

4. Battery & Charging

6000mAh means you’re not living on the charger. 80W charging is speedy enough—though the GT 7 Pro does charge faster at 120W, if you’re into that sort of thing.

5. Software Stuff

Realme UI 6.0 on Android 15 is clean, bloatware isn’t too bad, and you get AI tricks like Ultra Clarity. Two years of OS updates, which is standard. Dimensity 7300 might stutter if you push it too hard with heavy multitasking, so keep your expectations in check.

The Realme 14 Pro is basically a killer deal for anyone who just wants a reliable 5G phone that doesn’t suck the life out of your wallet. Bright screen, chunky battery, tough build—it ticks most boxes for average users. If you’re a hardcore gamer or camera nerd, though, you’ll want to look at the 14 Pro Plus or GT 7 Pro Racing instead. For the rest of us? This thing’s a steal.
