In the middle of AliExpress’s Black Friday, the Realme 14 Pro+ ranked among the most tempting phones thanks to its drop to 239.6 euros with the code ESBF35, a price that is difficult to justify when reviewing the camera array, 6.83-inch OLED display and 6,000 mAh battery. And yes, the star here is the 32MP selfie camera, which has become one of the strongest arguments in the entire current mid-range catalog. There are a lot of people who are obsessed with the rear camera, which is why Realme did the exact opposite: it paid a lot of attention to the 32MP front camera. This is not just a decision. The sensor manages light very well, softening it enough without turning the skin into plastic and keeping details even indoors. If you make video calls, network content, or are simply one of those people who do better with the interface, this is a jump from what’s typical of cell phones at this price. This doesn’t mean the back end is short. The combination of two Sony sensors (50MP IMX896 + 50MP IMX882), both with optical stabilization, provides clarity and stability even at night. But the funny thing is that you don’t need a “good camera mode”: selfies come out just as sharp, without that noise and blur typical of mid-range phones. The experience is very complicated. The 1.5K OLED display and 120Hz frequency make everything — photos, video, and networking — look cleaner and smoother than most phones at this price. Although the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is an efficient chip, it powers the system easily, doesn’t heat up easily, and delivers good performance for casual gaming and multitasking. The battery is another key point: 6,000 mAh easily lasts for two days, even if you make continuous video calls or consume a lot of content. And with 80W SUPERVOOC, quick plugging can save an afternoon without planning anything. Details such as WiFi 6, stereo speakers or dual SIM 5G add up to a very complete mobile phone for everyday use.
