The top model within the series is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+. The remaining devices, the 13 and the 13 Pro, are each offered with and without a 5G option.

Xiaomi’s new Redmi Note 13 series offers upgrades across the board, but mainly focuses on the new cameras. Both the Note 13 Pro+ and Note 13 Pro have a 200-megapixel camera (1/1.4-inch sensor) with optical image stabilization (IOS). The Note 13 base models have a 108-megapixel sensor on board.

Each model has an OLED screen that supports 120 Hz. Only the Pro+ has a higher 1.5K resolution, the rest have FHD+. There is a fingerprint sensor all over the screen. Only the Pro+ and Pro variant get Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, which is more resistant to scratches and drop damage.

Only the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is IP68 certified, which means the device is dustproof and waterproof. The rest of the range is IP54 certified (dust and splash proof).

When it comes to chipsets, Xiaomi juggles between Mediatek and Qualcomm. The top model Note 13 Pro+ has a Mediatek Dimensity 7200 on board, paired with a 5,000 mAh battery and a 120 watt fast charger.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G gets a slightly larger 5,100 mAh battery and is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. The variant without 5G gets a Mediatek Helio G99-Ultra on board. Both models support 67-watt fast charging.

The basic models, the Note 13 devices, will have a Mediatek Dimensity 6080 for the 5G variant and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 for the cheapest variant on board. Fast charging is possible up to 33 watts.

For optimal use, each model comes with a corresponding quick charger. Xiaomi reports to the editorial team that each device can expect two operating system updates and four years of security updates. Every model ships with Android 13 (MIUI 14 shell), making it all the more unfortunate that only two OS updates are guaranteed. Android 14 has been available since September 2023.
