Much of this category is a wash — both phones share identical Wi-Fi (up to Wi-Fi 5), dual SIM, USB Type-C 2.0, the same cellular speeds, and an identical sensor suite including GPS, gyroscope, compass, accelerometer, and even an infrared sensor. The connectivity baseline is effectively equal. Where the phones diverge, however, are in features that carry real daily-use weight. The Redmi Note 14 4G includes NFC and a microSD card slot, while the Infinix Hot 60 Pro Plus has neither. NFC enables contactless payments, quick device pairing, and transit card functionality — conveniences that are increasingly mainstream in urban environments. The expandable storage slot, meanwhile, gives Redmi users a practical escape valve as their 256 GB fills up over time.
The Infinix counters with a slightly newer Bluetooth 5.4 versus the Redmi's Bluetooth 5.3. The gap between these two versions is incremental rather than transformative, offering marginal improvements in connection efficiency, but it is unlikely to produce a perceptible difference in everyday wireless use. It is a real advantage, just a modest one.
Weighed against each other, the Redmi's additions are more impactful. NFC is a feature users actively notice its absence when they want to tap-to-pay or pair accessories, and expandable storage directly addresses a long-term usability concern. The Redmi Note 14 4G takes a clear edge in this category — its practical connectivity additions outweigh the Infinix's marginal Bluetooth version lead.
