The realme 14x has finally made its way to Malaysia as the first and the most affordable model from the 14 series. As the successor to the 12x, the new smartphone comes with increased durability and a better chipset, but unlike the Indian version, the battery capacity and charging speed remains the same as its predecessor.
In case you missed it, the 14x sports a 6.67-inch 720p LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 625 nits. Internally, the entry-level smartphone runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset while for protection, it comes with an improved IP64 rating for dust and water resistance alongside an MIL-STD-810H rating for drop resistance. Unfortunately, the Malaysian version gets a lower water resistance rating than the Indian version’s IP69 rating.
On the imaging side, the budget device is fitted a 50MP main camera that lacks OIS, a depth sensor, and an 8MP front snapper. Powering it is a 5,000mAh battery with support for 15W charging. As for connectivity, it supports 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC. Additionally, it comes with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and ships with realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14.
The 14x retails from RM899 for the 8GB+128GB configuration, but this is exclusively available through postpaid plans from Maxis, Hotlink, and U Mobile. On the other hand, there is an 8GB+256GB variant for RM1,099, which can be purchased now through its TikTok Shop and from CelcomDigi starting February.
