On December 15, the Realme 14x 5G version was introduced. Its standout features include IP69 waterproof certification, a Dimensity 6300 chipset, and a massive 6000mAh battery, all priced at no more than 15,000 Indian Rupees (approximately 1,279 Yuan). Unexpectedly, not only is the domestic smartphone market extremely competitive, but Chinese brands are also shaking up the overseas market.
In China, the Realme V60 Pro has been introduced instead, with a slightly smaller 5600mAh battery and a starting price of 1,599 Yuan for the 12GB+256GB variant.

Final Thoughts
For the Realme 14x, my perspective is as follows: The entry of Chinese manufacturers seems to have intensified competition in the global smartphone market, resulting in many unique smartphone products. For instance, in the domestic market, we have the Vivo Y300 with ultra-high volume speakers and a 6500mAh battery. Similarly, the Realme 14x stands out despite its slightly underwhelming 720P display. Its other features and pricing offer significant surprises
