Nah. It's like 5-10% upgrade while you have to pay for a whole new device. Even if you were to sell the 4G version, you'll still have to pay about 40% of the price (considering the resell value to be of a good amount).

For me, the Redmi Note 14 4G is the better choice. The 33W charging is gentler on the battery compared to 45W, which helps it last longer without losing capacity too quickly. The 5G version, with its faster charging, could wear out the battery faster over time, and that’s not ideal if I want my phone to stay in good shape for longer. Plus, the 4G version actually performs better for everyday tasks. If you don’t really need 5G, the 4G model is more than enough and gives a more balanced experience overall. Battery life, efficiency, and long-term performance matter most to me, and in that sense, the 4G version wins.

Redmi Note 14 4g can record video at 1080p 60fps vs 5g 30 fps. Is this a deal breaker?

No. In 3rd party video apps like McPro you'll get upto 4k 30FPS stable while 4G would struggle at 2k 60.
