Redmi Note 14 Pro+ vs OnePlus Nord 4: We were impressed by the Redmi Note 14 Pro+’s exceptional battery life during our review, which was made possible by its sizable 6,200mAh battery. This raises the question, though: does it provide the longest battery life within its price range?
We compared it to the 5,500mAh OnePlus Nord 4 (Review) in order to verify this. To find out which smartphone has a greater battery life, we compared the two devices side by side. It is not what you think, spoiler alert!
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ vs OnePlus Nord 4’s battery comparison shows the many benefits of each device. The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is a dependable partner for entertainment-focused use because it excels at gaming endurance and video streaming, while the OnePlus Nord 4 does higher in PCMark testing and provides extremely quick charging with its SuperVOOC technology.
Comparison of the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ and OnePlus Nord 4 batteries
The OnePlus Nord 4 outlasted the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ by 3 hours and 14 minutes, according to the results of an overnight PCMark battery test. For a phone with roughly 700mAh of reserve capacity, this is not ideal.
Real world: The OnePlus Nord 4 has greater endurance in daily use, which makes it ideal for people who need to multitask a lot or spend a lot of time away from a charger. But not far behind is the Redmi Note 14 Pro+, which provides dependable and powerful performance that readily lasts through a typical day of use.
Streaming videos
In a 30-minute YouTube streaming test, we streamed the identical video at 50% brightness and the same volume. While the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ lost almost 4% of its battery, the OnePlus Nord 4 displayed a little higher 5% drain. Since the OnePlus Nord 4’s battery is smaller than the Redmi Note 14 Pro+’s, battery size may play a role in this case.
Real world: When watching the latest season of Squid Game on these two phones, you will not notice any important variations in battery drain.
Gaming
For thirty minutes, we played three games straight on both cellphones. The outcomes were not entirely consistent. Both devices had a 7% battery decrease during the Call of Duty test. But in the Real Racing 3 test, the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ had a 4% battery reduction while the OnePlus Nord 4 had a 6% drop. The Redmi Note 14 Pro+’s battery drained by 5% when playing BGMI, whilst the OnePlus’s was 6%.
Real-world context: The OnePlus Nord 4’s all-metal body produced more heat, which likely caused the battery to drain more quickly even though both smartphones have good gaming performance.
Time spent charging
Despite having identical charger bricks, the OnePlus Nord 4 significantly surpassed the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ in terms of charging speed. The OnePlus Nord 4 provides 100W charging, whilst the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ allows 90W charging. The Nord 4’s SuperVOOC technology, which maximizes charging speeds, is the cause of this notable disparity. It is also important to note that a charger is included with the box for both phones.
Conclusion
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ and OnePlus Nord 4 end up having similar batteries. The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ has a superior battery for gaming and streaming videos, while the OnePlus Nord 4 does better in the PCMark test, demonstrating more efficiency for general workloads and fast charging capabilities with SuperVOOC technology.
Your usage patterns will therefore determine which of these two smartphones you choose. The OnePlus Nord 4 is superior if you desire quick charging and enhanced functionality for everyday productivity tasks. But the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is a better choice for extended gaming and video playing sessions.
