Context of the Redmi Note 14 line

The Redmi Note 14 4G was launched earlier this year and featured a 108MP camera and 120Hz display. The expansion of the lineup in the mid-range indicates the company's efforts to strengthen its position in emerging markets. The success of the model will depend heavily on the price, as competition in this segment is very high.
