Connectivity fundamentals are nearly identical across these two devices. Both support dual-SIM, NFC, USB Type-C, matched Wi-Fi standards, identical cellular download and upload speeds, and the same sensor suite including GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass. For most users, this parity means neither phone has a connectivity edge in day-to-day use — calls, mobile data, tap-to-pay, and location services all behave the same way on both.
Zoom in on the details, though, and two differentiators emerge — one per device. The Infinix Note 50 4G runs Bluetooth 5.4 versus the Redmi's 5.3. While the real-world gap between these adjacent versions is modest, 5.4 does bring improved connection reliability and efficiency, particularly relevant for users who keep multiple Bluetooth devices paired simultaneously. On the flip side, the Redmi Note 14 4G includes an infrared sensor that the Infinix lacks. This lets the Redmi double as a universal remote for TVs, air conditioners, and other IR-controlled appliances — a genuinely practical feature for users who want to consolidate their devices.
This group is effectively a draw, with each phone claiming one niche advantage. The Infinix's Bluetooth 5.4 edges ahead for wireless peripheral users, while the Redmi's infrared sensor adds a utility the Infinix cannot replicate. Neither advantage is significant enough to tip the overall verdict — users should weigh whichever feature aligns more closely with their specific habits.
