Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G review

29 January 2024


Sort by:

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.

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

                            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.

The OS from OEMs like Sony, Asus, Sharp, etc are closer to stock with very minimal bloatware. Meanwhile, the Chinese are putting their own app store, services, bloatware, and heavily customize their skin.

                                  Not available in Vietnam at this time with 512GB of storage. Otherwise this would be a slam dunk purchase for me.

I wonder how Sony manage to do that

                                      newflesh, 29 Jan 2024Wow, the battery life is unimpressive considering 5100mahIt's probably due to MiUI. Most Xiaomi phones dont really have great battery life when factoring their large batteries. Compare them to phones from Asus or Sony with smaller battery yet getting as good or better battery life. It's the software.

                                        Everything performs well, only the battery but that's because of the high screen resolution. One of the cheap phones with eSIM support, I remember many people asked for it on the Note 12 Pro and here Xiaomi makes it. Maybe there is also a heart rate sensor but it's not in the review.
