This is just sad. I can get over bad battery, but as someone who's dependant on notifications, 10 seconds of AOD for a 400€ phone??? Also Xioami crybabies - comparing every Xiaomi with Samsung - Samsung is cheaper. At least in my country. A54 goes for 300€ for months. Heck, even cheaper via carrier plan. For 300€ you can get used S23, used 6-12 months, new just 100€ more than this Redmi. And you will still have far more updates that this abomination.

    The 4x photos are ok, mostly better than upscaling crops from the 1x or 2x photos (apart from the third 4x image). Though, the Tetra²pixel array is an even worse color filter array than Quad Bayer, so despite having more than 1.6x as many pixels per angle as the Poco X6 as well as a 70% larger sensor area at 100mm (important for the noise performance in good light conditions), the 4x image of the clock looks partly better with the Quad Bayer array of the Poco X6 (surprisingly, the 4x image of the Poco X6 has more detail than the 2x image of the Poco) and the third 4x sample image looks bad, too (maybe out of focus?), though in the other 4x sample images the 13 Pro seems to perform better.

        Anonymous, 29 Jan 2024It's a joke how bad it it, the S23 with a better chip ... moreAnd you can get S23 for same money + more upgrades than this!

          Spanky, 30 Jan 2024Why is this rated higher than the Poco X6 Pro? 😒 Just becau... moreIt can only be because of the camera. They must have weighted photo quality with the main camera very heavily. They didn't mention video stabilization in this review though and the video stabilization is much better on the Poco x6 pro compared to this phone which has a lot of jitters with the stabilization. So even though the sensor is much better on the Redmi note 13 pro 5g the video quality suffers a bit, maybe due to the weaker ISP. Why they didn't even mention video stabilization is beyond me as that's one of the most important aspects of video quality

            Why is this rated higher than the Poco X6 Pro? 😒 Just because of the better main camera? The Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G has a worse chipset, slower storage, slower RAM, comes with Android 13 (which will eat away one major update for the phone) and higher price.

            The screen quality, resolution, brightness, IP rating are the same. The only advantages of the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G are the main camera and Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

            The Poco X6 Pro blows this phone out of the water, there’s no comparison.

              I want to upgrade the camera on my Moto G22.
              Been hearing a lot of positive things on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro but also the Camera on the older Samsung S1 Ultra. Read many reviews and photos but still unsure for around the same price which is best a brand new 13 Pro or a renewed Samsung S1 Ultra.
              Any suggestions
              Thanks

                the year is 2024 and this guy still didn't know how to turn those ads off? don't even need to root lol. just a couple of taps and it's gone.

                      I was using redmi note 4 since 2017. So I became fan of redmi phone. Today I purchased redmi note 13 despite of so many people advising me not to buy it. Within 4 hours of starting it, I am sick of its advertisements and unnecessary apps. This is a nuisances. I am ready to sell it in 10% discount. It's not tolerable. Mi seems to earn more money through advertisement and selling junk apps than through selling phones. Before buying redmi note 13, please see someone's phone. I am sure you will not buy it.

                        Thanks, very timely! X6 Pro loses to this! This Redmi is cheaper by $40 (in our country) for the same ram and capacity as the X6 Pro. but the 3dmark stress test of the Redmi is 3000 points while the X6 Pro goes down to 2000 points! I knew there is something fishy about that pricey X6 Pro. Poco is not the price/perf king anymore.

                          With battery life, as they say, your mileage may vary. I think with MIUI you can set battery saver to more restrictive (e.g. kill background apps after 10 minutes, or immediately). Also there is a setting in Developer Options 'Always keep mobile data on' even on wifi - that can be turned off. I'm sure there are others.

                            newflesh, 30 Jan 2024Sony phones have some exceptional battery life, 5 and 10 se... moreBecause Xperia 10 nerfed everything for battery endurance. Xperia 5? I don't see much difference compared with similar phones though.

                              Will photos also be added to the Photo Compare Tool in the future?

                                    rizki1, 30 Jan 2024Everything performs well, only the battery but that's ... moreHigh resolution, inefficient screens and arguably poor software optimization. I hope they can optimize it with future update

                                      Mr. Anonymous, 30 Jan 2024In Germany, for just €40-50 more one can get an almost flag... moreOn Xiaomi's official German website the 8gb 256gb Xiaomi 13t (only variant available) is €650 but there is currently a €30 coupon so €620. The Redmi note 13 pro 5g is €400 for the base 8gb 256gb on Xiaomi's German website but there is currently 10€ off so it's €390. Maybe you can get a good deal on the Xiaomi 13t but there is a big difference in official prices.

                                        In Germany, for just €40-50 more one can get an almost flagship level phone, Xiaomi 13T.
