Before diving into the camera comparisons and looking at the photos, let's go through the camera hardware on each device. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ has a 50MP primary camera with an f/1.6 aperture, PDAF, and OIS. It's joined by a 50MP telephoto lens with 2.5x optical zoom and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor with a 120-degree field of view (FoV).

The same goes for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL here. If you choose to get them with a contract, you are getting pretty much the best discount possible. If you choose to go unlocked — you are still getting a very good offer and the freedom to connect to any plan you wish or have currently.

Google has slashed the price of the Pixel 9 series in the company’s first major sale since the Black Friday shopping period last month.

The original Pixel Fold was not that. Google's first folding phone launched in the middle of 2023, just weeks before the marketing blitz of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and a few months before the OnePlus Open became a surprise critical favorite to the end of the year.
