Together and a little mixed
As we can see in the images accompanying this article, each Redmi Note 13 is different. Some have a camera module, like the Redmi Note 13 5G or Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, while others integrate the camera into the case, like on the Redmi Note 13 and Redmi Note 13 Pro. All sizes are similar, variations of a few tenths on some axles and weights on the fork are 175-190 grams. In your hand, they should feel pretty similar, except for the top model, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G, which is much more curved.
screen 6.67 inch in each of the models, and they are all cut from the same pattern: flat screen and a hole in the middle. All? No, because Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G curved screenThis is definitely a decision that not everyone likes equally, and in any case, this is the first time we see it in a device from the Redmi Note family.
As for resolutions, FullHD+ for all but the most powerful amounting to 1.5 thousand. The difference will not be so much in resolution, but in color depth, which is 12 bit in these models. It is also interesting to note that the entire series, except the Redmi Note 13, has TÜV Rheinland Flicker Free, Circadian Friendly and Low Blue Light certification, and has better brightness than the 5G version of the Redmi Note 13. more expensive models.
All share 120Hz refresh rate, plus DCI-P3 color space reproduction and Corning’s Gorilla Glass protection. Obviously, the higher the price, the better the crystals. In fact, we went from the cheapest, Gorilla Glass 3, to the most expensive, Gorilla Glass Victus, which is no small feat.
Finally, all except Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G, There is a headphone jack We see that all of them, except the Redmi Note 13 5G, have a fingerprint reader on the screen. Although the most powerful model of the series ranges from IP54 to IP68, water resistance is available in all cases; This is something that is not seen every day in the Xiaomi catalogue.
crescendo power
So we move on to talking about the engine, a part that could not be more heterogeneous. We start with the most powerful model, which is the only model with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage; they are one of the fastest technologies currently available. All the others, absolutely all, have noticeably slower LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.
Quantities vary from one model to another, but the minimum shipped is 128 GB and the maximum is 512 GB. In no case does it seem like storage will be a problem and less on the first four models with slots for microSD cards up to 1TB. For some reasons, this option is not available on the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G.
It is worth highlighting that MediaTek Dimensity 7200-Ultra is included in the most powerful model and Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 in the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, two SoCs that show trends and promise good performance in almost all situations. Moreover, although it all depends on the use we make, looking at the technical sheet, neither terminal should experience performance problems.
Approximately 5,000 mAh across battery rangeExcept for one particular case (Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G) which has 5,100 mAh. The main difference is in the fast charging technology, which goes from 33W in standard models to now 67W in Pro models. 120W in the flagship. Minipoint for Xiaomi to include the charger in any case. Needless to say, the most notable difference we will experience will be in face-to-face meeting times. With 120W, Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G charges in less than 20 minutes.
One thing that stands out is that the operating system is Android 13 with MIUI 14 (the version before the current one) and not HyperOS, the new Xiaomi operating system that actually comes from the factory on the new POCO X6. It is hoped that they will be updated sooner or later, but this does not prevent curiosity, since they are also terminals with serious potential to become bestsellers.
Finally, speaking of connectivity, it is strange that Xiaomi continues to invest in 4G smartphones; 5G is a technology that has been with us for a long time. However, there are options suitable for every audience, and to underline, Redmi Note 13 Pro + 5G is the only device with WiFi 6 connection.
It won’t happen because of megapixels
We are approaching the end, but first we stand in front of the camera. The most obvious thing is that absolutely all Redmi Note 13 have three lenses and the configuration is exactly the same in all of them: wide angle, wide angle and macro. We don’t have a telephoto in any case. Zoom in this case is in the hands of the main sensor and its resolution, which is 108 or 200 megapixels depending on the model.
While the Redmi Note 13 (both 4G and 5G) has a 108-megapixel sensor, the Pro models join this bandwagon. 200 megapixels. It is noteworthy that the sensor is 1/1.4 inch and has optical image stabilization. To avoid surprises, the sensor should not change from one model to another, so the final results will largely depend on the post-processing performed by the processor.
As for the built-in camera, this is definitely the simplest part: all models have one 16 megapixel sensor As we mentioned before, it is hidden inside the hole in the upper middle area of the screen.
