Upcoming bestseller adopts radical squircle design

The Redmi Note 14 line that is coming soon may be quite different from the Redmi Note 13 series (shown above) – at least in terms of aesthetics!

Redmi, a sub-brand of Xiaomi, is not close to launching the rumored Note 14. However, rumors about a potential Redmi Note 14 Pro are circulating thanks to attentive tipsters.

We owe thanks to Digital Chat Station, the master of mobile tech from the Far East, for providing us with an image that could potentially be the rear design of the rumored Redmi Note 14 Pro on the right. On the left, there is another phone that may be an upcoming handset from Realme.

What catches the eye about the potential Redmi Note 14 Pro is its stark contrast to the Note 13 Pro. The camera island on the 14 Pro may feature a squircle shape, which is a blend of a square and a circle, and could potentially house four cameras.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro is completely unique.

A possible hit in the making

The Redmi Note 14 series is expected to sell well, regardless of the shape of the device.

Since the announcement of the Redmi Note journey by Xiaomi in the fall of 2021, the company claimed that 240 million Redmi Note smartphones had been sold globally by the end of 2023. Sales figures have likely increased even further since then.

In January 2024, Xiaomi released new sales data indicating that more than 3.2 million units of the Redmi Note 13 series have been purchased in China since its debut. The Note 13 range has also been successful in other markets, particularly in Eastern Europe based on my personal observations.

Xiaomi announced that the Redmi Note 13 series was a success, with an impressive 400,000 units sold within just one hour of its release in September 2023.
