Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ review

24 February 2024


Sort by:

Nice phone, except battery life... Since SoC is becoming more and more powerful in mid range phones and resolutions are getting higher, it's time for brands to make LTPO for mid range which can help with GSMArena testing.

    We live in an era where 500 for a mid range Redmi is considered competitive pricing....

    Sad times...

      I know Pixel 7a is worse than this phone but.

      I rather get that at 390 euro instead of this at 450, the fact Xiaomi does ads on a 450 euro phone is ridiculous (even while you can turn them off, and before someone starts about never seeing them, they are region based so not every country sees them or in same amount)

      Or just a older flagship, plenty of good 2023 phones for that money or less.

        Wow 4.3. So this is as good as the flagship Iqoo 12 and better than the Realme gt5 pro for a lot less money

          Pumpino, 23 Feb 2024I don't have Netflix on my phone. Just with normal use... more test youtube, then check Gsmarena score are they same? You don't have to watch for hours, just few minutes and normalize your score.

            PureOS, 23 Feb 2024Soc is not just for performance.What else?

                    Pumpino, 23 Feb 2024I'm actually wondering if there's something wrong... moreAgreed. Mine has also been excellent. You can't measure SoT on MIUI anymore but with third party apps I've measured 8-10 hours of screen time, and this is with 120hz all the time. With the previous 12 Pro 5G I never had such good battery backup. With 60hz I think I could get 10-12 hours.

                    I think the inherent flaw on GSMarena tests is that they have so little time to test the phones that the OS never settles accordingly. Android takes a while to adjust to your usage and needs some proper charging cycles to optimize fully. You can read about this by learning about the ART dexopt process.

                      Invetor, 23 Feb 2024those are niche phones man. nobody cares about them."Nobody cares about them" yeah sure, that's why more than half of the community here has been constantly asking where those reviews are for the past month

                        We've waited for so long for the ZTE Nubia Z60 ultra and the OPPO Find x7 ultra reviews

                          Angejo, 23 Feb 2024This review makes no sense. There is no mention of the issu... moreThat one had India specific software version. They have more ads in system aps, and hughe amount of pre-installed third party aps. Global version is cleaner.

                              This review makes no sense. There is no mention of the issues highlighted in hands on review from 8th of January

                                This one or Poco X6 Pro?

                                    Be sure review of xiaomi ultra to be out first.

                                      I initially thought that Xiaomi in particular must have issues with optimising its MediaTek models, but then I observed that its Qualcomm models suffered the same fate. However, my Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G has excellent battery life. While I obviously don't run formal tests on it, I would have expected I'd notice poor battery life, and I haven't.

                                        PureOS, 23 Feb 2024Just get Poco x6 pro instead, if Xiaomi is a must.Why the Poco X6 Pro over this? Are you thinking purely from a performance perspective? The camera on the X6 can't compete with this model.
