Which should you buy?
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ edges ahead on the Mars Score (63.5 vs 69.2), but the 5.7-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Pixel 9 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, weight, promised os updates, among others.
Pick the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are wired charging, main camera, front camera, among others.
Both ship with comparable ram, refresh rate, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
