Introduction
Realme 14 Pro has an eye-catching color-changing back panel, marking the first time a smartphone has used this kind of material. Partnering with Copenhagen-based Valeur Designers, Realme created a back panel that reacts to cold temperatures, unlike previous phones that change color under sunlight. The Pearl White back transforms into a vibrant blue when the temperature drops to 16°C (61°F) or below. Once the phone warms up, the blue hue fades back to the original white color. [1]
This color-changing effect is not just a gimmick. Realme used seashell pearl powder mixed with color-changing pigments in microcapsules for the back panel. The result is a unique pattern on each device, making every Realme 14 Pro one-of-a-kind. However, keep in mind that this effect will fade over time due to sunlight exposure, and Realme estimates it will last about 12 months under normal usage. [2]
Pro Tip: You don’t need to submerge the phone in ice-cold water to show off the color-changing effect. A chilly winter day will suffice to witness the stunning transformation.
Features of Realme 14 Pro
Staying on theme, Realme incorporated an underwater photo mode into the 14 Pro. Since touchscreens don’t perform well underwater, the phone uses volume buttons to take pictures while submerged. The Realme 14 Pro is IP68-rated for water resistance, meaning it can handle submersion in water and is also IP69-rated for hot water jet resistance. Whether you’re by the pool, at the beach, or even in the shower, the device is built to withstand harsh environments. [3]
Additional Features
Water Resistance: With an IP68/IP69 rating, the device is highly resistant to water and dust, offering enhanced durability for users who need a rugged phone.
Face Unlock & Fingerprint Sensor: The Realme 14 Pro features both Face Unlock and In-Display Fingerprint Sensor for secure access.[4]
No 3.5mm Headphone Jack: The device does not include a 3.5mm headphone jack, pushing users towards wireless audio solutions.
Innovative Camera Features: MagicGlow Flash and Periscope Lens
Although we can’t dive into full camera details yet, we did get a sneak peek at theRealme 14 Pro innovative camera setup. The device will be the only model in the 14 series to feature a periscope camera, offering enhanced zoom capabilities. At the back, there are three LED flash modules arranged in a circular formation at 120° intervals. Realme calls this design “MagicGlow”. The goal of MagicGlow is to provide even, natural lighting for night-time portraits. [5]
Another highlight is the variable color temperature of the LED lights, which enables the camera to adjust the lighting for more realistic portrait shots. This feature ensures that your photos look well-lit and true to life, even in low-light conditions.
Quad-Curved Display: Slim, Immersive, and Stunning
The Realme 14 Pro is also the first device in the 14 series to feature a quad-curved display. The curves are subtly applied to the edges of the display, making the 1.6mm bezels appear virtually invisible. This design contributes to a near-bezel-less look, making the display feel even larger than it already is. The high-quality panel promises excellent brightness, contrast, and color accuracy, but full details will be shared at the official launch. [6]
Additionally, the back panel has a matte finish that resists fingerprints, maintaining its pristine look over time. The golden frame around the camera island and the overall design further enhance the premium feel of the Realme 14 Pro.
Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 Chipset: Power and Efficiency
Powering the Realme 14 Pro is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, built on the advanced 4nm TSMC process. This new-generation chip features ARMv9 Cortex-A720 and A520 cores along with the Adreno 810 GPU, offering impressive gains in performance compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. According to Qualcomm’s official numbers: [7]
GPU Performance:40% faster graphics performance.
CPU Performance:20% faster overall processing.
AI Performance:30% more efficient for AI-based tasks.
Power Efficiency: The new CPU cores are 45% more efficient, and the chip uses 12% less power overall compared to its predecessor.
These improvements ensure that the Realme 14 Pro delivers outstanding performance for gaming, multitasking, and overall system responsiveness, all while maintaining energy efficiency for longer battery life.
Realme will officially launch the Realme 14 Pro and Realme 14 Pro soon. The Pro+ model is expected to be the flagship of the series, with the quad-curved display, periscope camera, and the color-changing back panel making it stand out from the rest of the market. The more affordable Realme 14 Pro will likely offer similar core features but may lack some of the premium innovations seen in the Pro+ variant. [8]

Comparison Between Realme 12 pro Plus And Realme 14 Pro
One of the most exciting features of the Realme 14 Pro+ is its color-changing back panel, which is a first for the brand. Realme collaborated with Valeur Designers from Copenhagen to bring this innovative design to life. While phones with color-changing designs aren’t new, the Realme 14 Pro+ is different from the rest. Most devices that change color are activated by sunlight, but this one reacts to cold temperatures.
In typical conditions, the back of the Realme 14 Pro+ is a pearl white, but when the temperature drops below 16°C (61°F), a vibrant blue swirl emerges, creating a dramatic transformation on the back of the phone. As the phone warms up, the blue hue fades and the back returns to its original off-white appearance. This unique effect, created by microcapsules filled with special pigments, will gradually fade with exposure to sunlight, and Realme estimates it will last around 12 months under normal use.
We were able to demonstrate this effect using an ice bath, which was not only an effective way to see the color change but also showcased the phone’s water resistance. The Realme 14 Pro+ is rated IP68 for submersion and IP69 for high-pressure hot water jets, so whether it’s hot or cold, the phone can handle it.
Aquatic-Themed Features
To complement its aquatic-inspired design, the Realme 14 Pro+ introduces an Underwater Photography Mode. Since the touchscreen doesn’t function well when submerged, users will need to use the physical volume buttons to capture photos, a clever workaround for taking shots while in the water.
This phone has also been carefully crafted with seashell pearl powder for the back panel, which adds to its unique aesthetic. The result is a textured, matte finish that gives each phone a distinct pattern, ensuring no two devices are the same.
Impressive Camera Features
While we couldn’t dive into the full details of the camera performance just yet, we can confirm that the Realme 14 Pro+ will come with some exciting camera innovations. It will be the only device in the Realme 14 series to feature a periscope camera, a game-changer for long-range zoom. Additionally, the back of the phone features three LED flash modules, arranged in a circular pattern. Realme calls this feature “MagicGlow,” designed to provide soft and even lighting for nighttime portraits. It also supports color temperature control, allowing the camera to adjust lighting for more natural and flattering shots.
Stunning Quad-Curved Display
Another standout feature of the Realme 14 Pro+ is its quad-curved display. Unlike most curved displays, which only curve along the sides, this one features curves on all four edges, giving the phone an almost bezel-less look. The result is an immersive display with ultra-thin 1.6mm bezels that make the screen feel expansive and uninterrupted.
Although we couldn’t go into full details about the display quality just yet, we can confirm that the Realme 14 Pro+ will sport a high-quality panel designed for vibrant colors and excellent clarity.
Sleek and Premium Build
The design of the Realme 14 Pro+ is nothing short of premium. The matte finish not only enhances the phone’s aesthetics but also helps with fingerprint resistance, keeping the back looking clean and pristine. The golden-hued frame, including the trim around the camera module, further adds to the premium feel of the device.
Powerful Performance with Snapdragon 7s Gen 3
Under the hood, the Realme 14 Pro+ is powered by the latest Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset. Built on a 4nm process, this new chipset promises significantly improved performance over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 comes with Cortex-A720 and A520 cores, along with a next-gen Adreno 810 GPU, offering a 40% performance boost over the previous generation. This translates to faster processing, improved graphics, and more efficient handling of AI tasks.
Official reports from Qualcomm indicate that the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is not only faster but also 12% more power-efficient, making the phone better at handling demanding apps and tasks without draining the battery.
Anticipating the Full Reveal
While we’ve seen a lot of the Realme 14 Pro+, there’s still much to be revealed in the official launch. We’re excited about the unique color-changing design, the advanced camera technology, and the premium build quality of this phone. The Realme 14 Pro+ is shaping up to be a device that combines cutting-edge innovation with thoughtful design.
Stay tuned for more updates as Realme is set to announce the full details of the Realme 14 Pro series soon, which will also include the more affordable Realme 14 Pro model.
