Both models are positioned in the budget phone market, making choosing between them a dilemma for consumers looking to upgrade. To help you understand these two new phones better, this article will provide a simple comparison of their specifications and analyze their respective pros and cons.

Design: A Collision of Simplicity and Technology

The Meizu Lucky08 adopts the "Star Track Technology Aesthetics" design language exclusive to the Lucky series. It features a 1.75mm ultra-narrow four-sided flagship screen, paired with 2.5D micro-arc front and back and G3 perfect rounded corners. The body is available in two color schemes: Meteorite Black and Starry White. The addition of a pure white panel makes the overall design simple yet elegant. Additionally, the red power button design adds a distinct color contrast to the phone.

The Redmi Note 14 Pro+, depending on the version, offers two lens designs. The rear camera and flash are arranged symmetrically, and the back of the phone is relatively rounded. There are also many color options, including Star Sand Green, Mirror Porcelain White, and Midnight Black. In terms of aesthetics, it is also very impressive.

The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ features a 1.5K high-light eye protection screen, adopting a curved design, upgraded Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and certified for visual health friendliness by the China Quality Certification Center.

Consumers need to choose between a flat screen design and a curved screen design, which is one of the important factors influencing their decision.
