If Xiaomi is Stan Lee, then the Redmi Note series has to be Jack Kirby. Well, that's how the company's India journey has been. The Note series has been right in the centre, fueling Xiaomi's growth in India over the years. In early 2024, the company introduced the Redmi Note 13 series, and before the year ended, we have the successor already - the Redmi Note 14 series. In the product briefing, Xiaomi executives stressed how Redmi Note 14 is a big leap even for the Note series. The company claims to have sold over 420 million Redmi Note devices globally. Again, this time, we get three units - a base Redmi Note 14, a mid Redmi Note 14 Pro and the top-of-the-line Redmi Note 14 Pro+. Well, I got my hands on the top trim - Redmi Note 14 Pro+. The spec sheet of the device reads as if it's some flagship from a few years back, plus some much-needed additions.

Xiaomi is all set to hit the 10-year milestone in India this July. But you might be surprised to know that the company hasn't been one to challenge rival smartphone makers in the sub-Rs. 50,000 until the Xiaomi 14 Civi launch. The company has tried to reinvent this price segment well and truly with its latest 14 Civi (short for Cinematic Vision) to take on the rivals in the sub-Rs. 50,000. It has a premium look and is packaged like a flagship smartphone with all bells and whistles.

Redmi Buds 5A True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Earphones Review

  • Design / Comfort
  • Audio Quality
  • Battery Life
  • Value For Money
  • Good
  • ANC under Rs. 1,500
  • IPX4 splash resistance
  • Fast Charge
  • Bad
  • Only SBC Bluetooth codec support
  • Occasional lags
  • No charging cable in the box

The Redmi Buds 5A were unveiled in India alongside the Redmi Pad SE in April this year at Xiaomi's 'Smarter Living & More' launch event. The audio wearable comes with active noise cancellation (ANC) and Google Fast Pair support, as well as an IPX4 rating and a companion app. These true wireless earphones (TWS) are also the company's cheapest wireless audio offering in the country to date. After using it for about a couple of weeks, I tell you why this is a good choice if you're looking for ANC TWS on a tight budget.
