What we like about realme 14 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Premium design and build quality, with a unique vegan suede leather finish and a comfortable, slim, and lightweight feel.
  • Industry-leading durability for its segment, featuring IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance, and military-grade shock resistance certification.
  • Stunning 6.77-inch or 6.78-inch 120Hz curved AMOLED/OLED display with high brightness (up to 4,500 nits peak), vibrant visuals, and eye-care features like 3840Hz PWM dimming.
  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting a full day even with heavy use, or up to two days with moderate usage.
  • Dependable and smooth performance for daily tasks and casual gaming, powered by the efficient MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy chipset.
  • Good quality photos from the 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera in well-lit conditions, with OIS and helpful AI features.
  • Inclusion of a 45W SUPERVOOC charger in the box in some regions.
  • Runs on the latest Android 15 (or Android 16 in some reviews) with Realme UI 6.0 out of the box.
  • Useful additional features like dual stereo speakers, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, and a heart rate measurement function.
  • Affordable or competitive pricing in the mid-range segment.

What we don't like about realme 14 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Noticeable lack of an ultra-wide camera or telephoto lens (unlike some predecessors), which limits photography versatility.
  • Inconsistent camera performance in low-light/night shots and some focusing struggles reported by users.
  • Charging speed (45W or 80W on the Pro+) is considered average compared to some competitors in the segment.
  • User interface includes bloatware (many pre-installed apps).
  • Some users reported the phone can get warm during intensive tasks or with hotspot turned on.
  • Performance is not top-tier compared to high-end flagships or some rivals in the same segment.
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack.
  • Lack of HDR video support in some variants.

Verdict

The Realme 14 Pro (12GB + 512GB) is a powerful mid-range 5G smartphone launched in January 2025, featuring a 6.77-inch, 120Hz curved OLED display with a stunning 4,500 nits peak brightness and IP69 dust and water resistance. Powered by the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy chipset and a massive 6,000mAh battery with 45W SuperVOOC charging, it offers smooth performance and excellent endurance. A primary 50MP Sony IMX882 OIS camera delivers sharp photos and 4K video recording capabilities, including a unique underwater shooting mode. The main cons are that the storage is not expandable via a microSD card slot and it lacks a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack.
