Redmi Note 14 Pro Series Offers Free Water Damage Protection During First Sale - Is the Era of Unwarrantied Waterproof Phones Ending?

Traditionally, manufacturers typically don't offer warranty coverage for water damage on waterproof phones. This has led to significant user frustration, even prompting iPhone users to sue Apple over the issue. In reality, there are numerous uncertainties surrounding waterproof phones, making it challenging for manufacturers to definitively prove how water entered the device. However, starting today, the era of un-warrantied waterproof phones might be coming to an end. Redmi has announced that the Redmi Note 14 Pro series will come with complimentary water damage protection during its initial sale period.

This water damage protection is valid for a year. If a liquid-related incident within that year renders the phone unusable, users can avail themselves of a one-time free repair service. It's important to note that this protection doesn't cover cosmetic damage or intentional misuse.

Why is Redmi so confident in offering a year of free water damage protection for the Note 14 Pro series? The answer lies in the phone's impressive water resistance capabilities. The Redmi Note 14 series boasts IP66+IP68+IP69 waterproof certification, what the company calls a "waterproof grand slam." The device has also passed rigorous South German testing for submersion in 2 meters of water for 24 hours. The IP69 rating signifies the device's ability to withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water and steam jets, providing solid proof of the Note 14 Pro series' robust water resistance.

Beyond its impressive water resistance, the Redmi Note 14 Pro series boasts several other noteworthy features. Industry reports indicate that the entire Redmi Note 14 lineup will sport 1.5K resolution screens, with a curved display on the Note 14 Pro. The Note 14 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen3, while the Pro+ version utilizes the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 processor.

Previously, Redmi head Wang Teng conducted drop and water resistance tests on the Note 14 Pro in the wild, with videos of these tests making their way online. Adding to the intrigue, the Redmi Note 14 Pro series launch event invitation was a waterproof test bucket, demonstrating the company's confidence in its product's capabilities.

The official launch date for the Redmi Note 14 Pro series is set for September 26th, at 7 PM, with sales commencing immediately after. The first-sale period runs from September 26th to October 7th. Importantly, only those who purchase the Redmi Note 14 Pro series during this timeframe will receive the complimentary water damage protection, so make sure to remember that.

The Redmi Note 14 Pro series has undergone significant upgrades in design, performance, and functionality. Coupled with the free water damage protection, it stands out as one of the most anticipated phone releases this fall. For anyone seeking a waterproof device, the Redmi Note 14 Pro series presents a compelling choice.
