Realme 14 Pro Lite debuts as new Android smartphone with suspiciously familiar specs

The 14 Pro and Pro+ has now been unleashed on the European market as part of Realme's MWC 2025 campaign. The Unique Pearl Design smartphones' line has also just been expanded in India.

Its latest addition is called the 14 Pro Lite, yet is not in truth a smaller or cut-down variation of the new Dimensity 7300-powered, 6,000mAh device.

Instead, it is in fact a re-release of the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2-powered 13 Pro, even down to the same 6.7-inch 120Hz Curved Vision OLED Display, Sony LYT-600 main camera and purple or gold glass rear panels - although the same robust, drop-resistant color options have been re-branded as Miracle Shining rather than Monet-Inspired Designs.

The 14 Pro Lite even still has Realme UI 5 based on Android 14 out of the box rather than the 14 Pro's newer Realme UI 6 software. Both devices have 45W wired charging, although the latter has the 13 Pro's smaller 5,200mAh battery.

The 14 Pro Lite is available from now via Flipkart, going for INR 21,999 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage to INR 23,999 for 8/256GB SKUs - even though the 13 Pro in Monet Gold can be found for the same price as the latter with the series' top-end 12GB/512GB configuration on Amazon right now.
