Realme 14 pro+, a before and after

In recent years, some mobile manufacturers are highlighting for their intention to change the status quo. Be by design (the clearest example is Nothing), as for price and benefits, it is obvious that they are hunting and capturing the podium monopoly. One of these is real. Recognized for his excellent work in the battery section and fast charging, now he harasses the design bulwark and has presented the first smartphone with a thermochromatic cover. Basically, Realme 14 pro+ changes color depending on temperature.

The surprising thing is that it is not an advertising trick that works in unique, very precise conditions, only reproducible in a laboratory. In less than a minute passes from A back -covered back of blue veins, to a nacred white if the temperature rises above 17 ° C.

Does this have any utility? Right right now, but it’s A first step to explore the redundancy, sensitivity of sensors. In the future, these pigments sensitive to temperature changes could have from medical purposes, to alert purposes linked to abrupt decreases in pressure, temperature or changes in battery and microchip.

That said, its further design, which goes beyond this change of colors, has been very careful and It is a mobile that, to the eye, appears a high range, when it has a price that starts from 530 euros. Let’s go step by step.

6.77 -inch AMOLED screen (very large), without being heavy. Curved and elegant corners and a screen/body ratio of 93.8%, 1.5K resolution, soda to 120 rtes and 1,500 peak brightness nits. Is it the best screen? No, but it takes a remarkable street. Perhaps, staying in the audiovisual section, the weakest point of this mobile is the sound: discreet, approved but without highlighting in any range.

Going, now, to the interior intrusion, we are facing a smartphone with A Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 brain, 12 GB RAM and 512 storage. If we add a 6000 mAh battery to this (Fast charging of 20 minutes and more than 50%), the set operates on silk wheels. Of course, taking into account that Realme is one of the manufacturers that most and better works the load algorithms, not coming with an its own charger, it is a disadvantage. Maybe they didn’t want to reach 600 euros in price, but an original charger makes a lot of difference.

The other point that attracts most looks is photography. A 32 MP front camera (with good opening, to capture more light) and a rear composition that includes two 50 MP lenses and one of 8 MP. On the positive side, Light collection, the numerous “toys” of the native photography application that allow to explore very different and fun ways and a very dignified general quality. Its triple flash configuration configurable in power and tone is a very pleasant and little known surprise in the sector.

In the less flattering section … for years Realme has stood out for sections such as the battery, the design and the excellent relationship between quality and price. Photography has always been in the background. It shows that he now wants to focus on it and has improved with respect to the past. For a mid -range, the photographs are remarkable, but apparently a high -end mobile, we are tempted to ask for more. He does not lack resolution, software is left over, which is missing is a high quality lens. An agreement with Leica or Hasselblad would be a dizzying catapult, no doubt.

Verdict

Realme 14 pro+ is a phone that has arrived to mark a before and after in the history of the manufacturer, for several reasons. In this price range, it is the podium of the phones by design, benefits, drums and photography.
