realme 14T 5G Launched: Features Unexpected Water Resistance and Good Sound
The realme 14 series has just gained a new addition! Meet the realme 14T 5G, a smartphone that seems to be filled with some unexpected features for its category, most importantly some serious water resistance and good sound.
Display and Cameras: Bright and Clear
Let's start with what you can see – the screen. The 14T 5G features a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen. You get sharp visuals because of the Full HD+ resolution and everything is just so silky smooth with a 120Hz refresh rate. And, it gets really, really bright, up to 2000 nits peak brightness, which is great for using it outdoors.
For snaps, there is a 16MP front camera embedded in an ultra-small notch. There's a 50MP main camera at the back having the OV50D40 sensor, with a small 2MP sensor that helps with portraits.
Performance and Power: Ideal for Daily Use
Other than this, the realme 14T 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. If you care about benchmark scores, it apparently peaks at around 460,000 points in AnTuTu, which means it's seriously strong for general use and light gaming. You're gifted with a big 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM that realme says can actually be virtually upgraded to as much as a huge 18GB. You have storage capacity options of 128GB or 256GB (UFS2.2), and if that's not enough, you can add a microSD card up to a whopping 2TB.
Keeping the phone alive is a large 6000 mAh battery. And when charging time arrives, it charges fairly fast at 45 watts.
Other Features You Might Not Expect
This is where things get exciting. The realme 14T 5G has stereo speakers, and there's even a mode that increases volume by 300 percent – just right for watching movies without earphones. For security, there's a fingerprint sensor nicely placed under the screen.
One of the surprise features for a phone in this class is that it has the IP69 rating for water resistance. This isn't splash-proofing; with an IP69 rating, it means the phone can survive vigorous high-temperature water jets, and it achieves an extremely high level of resistance to water and dust.
Pricing and Availability
The realme 14T 5G is out now in India. The model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage can be found for about $210 USD, and moving to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage costs about $234 USD. The prices make it seem like an extremely attractive option for those who want durability and good features without breaking the bank.
