rizki1, 24 Feb 2024there is a video there, I don't want to give the link ... moreThe point is, Gsmarena test specific things, they don't test video recording, app usage etc so comparing that test with this isn't relevant.

What someone has to do is streaming it can be youtube or Netflix etc then compare stream time with this test, can they get more than 12 hours? If yes then we can question Gsmarena test, otherwise it will be speculative.

    Has any body noticed the rating has been dropped from 4.3 to 4.2 by Gsmarena..? Great..... what the mess..

      David 040882, 23 Feb 2024All right, time to take your bets people. 1. Who'... moreI vote definitely 3. I think the next review will be the Xiaomi 14. Xiaomi already gave it to them quite a while ago (the speaker score has been up for a good while) and the launch is tomorrow so it'll probably either be tomorrow directly after the launch or maybe the following day. In China Xiaomi usually only allow the full reviews the day after launch so not sure if they will do the same for the global lainch

        Anonymous, 24 Feb 2024What if xiaomi isn't a must?Honor 90, Oneplus Nord 3, Motorola edge 40.

          Hemedans, 24 Feb 2024Which video? How many hours it can stream? there is a video there, I don't want to give the link because it will be deleted by gsmarena, the test is like a day to day activity... which is watching videos, recording videos, using apps, gaming etc.... From the Gadgets 4 You channel, the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Note 13 5G got a higher battery life than the Realme 11 Pro, which was higher in the GSMArena test. From the Gupta Information System channel Note 13 Pro+ and Note 13 Pro are neck and neck with Realme 11 Pro+ and 12 Pro+ which is also higher in the gsmarena test.

            Pumpino, 24 Feb 2024OK, but what's the evidence that the Dimensity 8300 Ul... moreSoftware support depends of manufacturer for how long they want to cover each phone. Since the 8300 have double power than 7200, it is obvious that can support normal usage for longer time. Truly benefit of image processing of this 64 mp we can see in Poco f4 and f5 example. F5 has better results with the same camera cause of better soc processing. If we talking about Qualcomm and MTK in midrange department, now MTK is ahead in raw power, but Qualcomm is more versatile in custom roms.

              rizki1, 24 Feb 2024No need, you can get the video on YouTube which is not much... moreWhich video? How many hours it can stream?

                Aierlan, 24 Feb 2024Can anyone here who is knowledgeable on screens answer this... moreWell, yes and no. Many advertised 12 bit displays are 10 + 2, depending of some scenarios. Also some chipsets doesn't support 12 bit displays even when display hardware can offer that colors. Also on such small screen we cant see truly benefit like on tvs.

                  Aierlan, 24 Feb 2024Did they really mess up here though? I think it's sti... moreIt's not the curved screens but the note 13 pro and pro plus are overpriced.

                  Poco X6, with just a 64mp vs 200mp diff, gets you 256gb as base for cheaper than note 13 pro 128, and Poco X6 Pro definitely being much better than 13 pro+. And don't forget the flop Note 13 4g too.

                    Aierlan, 24 Feb 2024Can anyone here who is knowledgeable on screens answer this... moreI don't know about 12-bit (in fact I've never heard of such bit depth) but in a nutshell content is mostly SDR (8-bit) for a good reason: HDR (10-bit and above) is still evolving and there are several competing formats. But if you are a content creator and your phone does record in HDR, then at least you would be able to enjoy your own footage in HDR proper.

                      Mr. Anonymous, 24 Feb 2024I still think Xiaomi 13T is a better phone for the price of €420.Of course the price has dropped, but the 13T was launched at a price of €650.

                        Can anyone here who is knowledgeable on screens answer this question? I watched a video from a large Chinese reviewer a while back who explained that it makes absolutely no difference if a phone screen supports 12 bit colour depth because the vast majority on content on phones is 8 bit with very little 10 bit and basically no 12 bit so as far as I could understand he was basically saying that a mobile phone screen supporting 12 bit colour depth is useless as the software you consume is only 10bit at the very most. I searched this on Baidu and quite a few people say the same thing. Is that accurate?

                          PureOS, 24 Feb 2024Image processing, software support without issues on the lo... moreOK, but what's the evidence that the Dimensity 8300 Ultra in the Poco X6 Pro has superior image processing and potentially longer software support? Historically, people would suggest that Qualcomm chips have superior image processing and better custom ROM support.

                          Does a more powerful chip mean superior image processing, or is it more to do with the manufacturer (ie. Qualcomm vs MediaTek).

                            Can we put to rest the idea that '200MP' is worth its namesake? So basically this phone has a main camera that is equivalent to 50MP, plus 8MP ultrawide and 2MP depth cameras, plus a '16MP' quad bayer selfie 🙄 To put it mildly, the whole thing leaves something to be desired

                              justasmile, 24 Feb 2024This is probably the first time Xiaomi messed up with the R... moreDid they really mess up here though? I think it's still an improvement compared to the Redmi note 12 series. Personally, I prefer flat screens but it also offers a curved screen for the first time in a Redmi phone so for those that like curved screens they now get an option in the Redmi line up. They have also added stabilisation to 4k video recording for example so that is a significant improvement (it should have been present in the Redmi note 12 pro and pro+ though). Pricing is also pretty similar to the previous Redmi note models. The thing is for all these midrangers you can always get a better phone by going for an older model the prior year on a deal especially if you regularly check online prices and don't need a phone urgently. However, if you are just looking for a new phone and need it immediately, and are happy with a good main camera, this is still pretty good. Personally, think this is one of their better note offerings

                                This is probably the first time Xiaomi messed up with the Redmi Note 13 series.

                                  Xixa, 23 Feb 2024This one or Poco X6 Pro?X6 pro ofc.

                                    rizki1, 24 Feb 2024Nice phone, except battery life... Since SoC is becoming mo... moreI am more for better pwm dimming lol.

                                      Pumpino, 24 Feb 2024What else?Image processing, software support without issues on the long run, newer cores less power consumption, download and upload time, better ufs support, etc...

                                        I still think Xiaomi 13T is a better phone for the price of €420.
