5 ways to snap life’s magical everyday moments and make them iconic

All you need to immortalize life’s best moments is your trusty phone camera and a practiced eye

We've all been there: you're living your life, having a blast, and a perfect moment just comes along and you immediately think to capture it with a timely photo. But the photo just doesn't do it justice. It's blurry, the lighting's off, or it just doesn't capture the feeling of the moment. 

Most people know: turning those everyday snaps into something truly iconic can feel like an impossible challenge. But guess what? It doesn't have to be.

Here’s why today’s smartphones are stronger than before

Today’s all-stars like the Redmi Note 14 Series bring durability back in a big way for adventurous users

Remember those old phones that could survive a drop on concrete?  We're talking about the early 2000s, when phones were practically indestructible. Today's smartphones are notorious for seeming way more fragile — with their sleek glass fronts and slim profiles, it's easy to think they'd shatter at the slightest bump, and some of them do, as many people have found out over the past decade. 

But here's the surprising truth: in 2025, today’s smartphones are actually way more durable than they used to be.

Think about it — we're not just looking for cool features anymore. We need phones that can keep up with our lives, especially when we’re always out and about living to the fullest. Fortunately, manufacturers have listened and they've been working hard to make our smartphones tougher than ever.

Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro+ 5G: The All-Star Durability Champion You've Been Waiting For

There’s now no need to worry about dropping your phone or getting it wet

Last January 15, Xiaomi officially unveiled the all-new Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro+ to the world, after much anticipation. 

Hundreds of guests and Xiaomi fans gathered at the Grand Hyatt Grand Ballroom to get their first look at the exciting new phone. The star of the show was the Redmi Note 14 Series’ amazing All-Star Durability — there were fun booths at the launch event showcasing how tough the phone is, including a slide that quickly dropped a test model in water to show off its IP68-certified water resistance and scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Attendees got to see the Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro+’s All-Star Durability and IP68-certified water resistance up close with a fun water slide.

Today’s smartphones have really come a long way. Very few have advanced as much as the new Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro+ variants, which are a step above the rest and can survive the toughest of situations.

Aside from the aforementioned IP68-certified splash-proof body which makes it able to resist up to 30 minutes of submersion in up to 1.5 meters of water, it’s also got dust resistance to protect it from rugged conditions. 

The phone also comes with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which makes the screen splash-proof and user-friendly.

The state-of-the-art Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 makes the Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro+’s screen super user-friendly, too — snap your mealtime photos as the screen’s touch controls are still perfectly usable and accurate with wet or oily fingers.

Another crowning achievement of the Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro+ variants is their All-Star Armor Structure, which is comprised of its high-strength aluminum composite frame, energy-absorbing foam, and four-corner internal reinforcement, which can withstand essentially most huge hits. The insides are also backed up by a 0.8-mm thickened motherboard, ensuring that the delicate internal components don’t get damaged by any impacts.

With all of these all-star durability advancements built into the Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro+ variants, you can be supremely confident about living your life with it.

Experience all-star durability for yourself and check out the Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro+!
