Redmi Note 13, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro+ Launched in India; Check out the Details

Xiaomi’s Note series is, by far, one of the most popular mid-range smartphone series in India. TheRedmi Note 12 serieswas very well received as the company managed to sellRs 3 Billion worth of phonesin merely a few weeks after launch. TheRedmi Note 13 seriesis finally here, which includes the Redmi Note 13, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro+. Here’s everything you need to know about all three Note 13 variants.

Redmi Note 13 Series Displays

The standard Redmi Note 13 features a Full-HD+AMOLED panel with a 120HZ refresh ratewhereas both the Note 13 Pro and 13 Pro+ feature Dolby Vision-certified, 1.5K AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rates. While Redmi Note 13’s display is capable of hitting 1,000 nits peak brightness, the Note 13 Pro and 13 Pro+ can reach 1800 nits.

Another difference is in the protection tech used. The standard Note 13 is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, a seemingly old standard of protection, whereas both the Note 13 Pro and 13 Pro Plus useGorilla Glass Victus.

Performance

The Redmi Note 13 boasts a Dimensity 6080 chipset, the Note 13 Pro comes withSnapdragon 7s Gen 2, and the Note 13 Pro+ features MediaTek 7200 Ultra. If we put the performance of all three SoCs in perspective, the Dimensity 6080 is around40% slowerthan the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 on the 13 Pro.

The Dimensity 7200 Ultra on the Note 13 Pro+ performs slightly better than the 7s Gen 2, around 10-15% better on paper.

Since both the Note 13 and Note 13 Pro have 128 GB variants and UFS 3.1 storage starts from 256GB modules, it’s unclear if the 256GB and above Redmi Note 13 and 13 Pro variants use UFS 3.1 instead of the slower UFS 2.1. The Redmi Note 13 Pro+, however, is confirmed to be using UFS 3.1 storage.

I think it’s also important to mention that all three Redmi Note 13 modelsrunAndroid 13-based MIUI 14 out of the box,and not the newHyperOSexperience. This is a shame in 2024, especially when you have a new OS experience at hand and Android 14 has been out for over four months. The first twoXiaomi devices to get HyperOSin India have been announced, though.

Cameras

The Redmi Note 13 features a108 MP primary sensorand a 2 MP depth sensor. The main unit is everyone’s favorite ISOCELL HM2, a 108 MP sensor that bins the images down and produces 12 MP shots.

The Note 13 Pro and 13 Pro+ on the other hand use Samsung’s 200 MP HP3 sensor which produces 12.5 MP photos. Both of these phones also get secondary 8 MP Ultrawide, 2 MP macro sensors, and 16 MP selfie cameras.

According to Samsung, the ISOCELL HP3 is better at focusing, color accuracy, and picture quality. We won’t dig deeper but we can assume the photos out of 13 Pro and 13 Pro+ may look better than the Note 13 photos.

Battery, Fingerprint Sensor, and Audio

The battery on the Redmi Note 13 is a 5,000 mAh cell with 33W fast charging. On the Note 13 Pro, it’s a slightly larger 5,100 mAh unit with67W wired charging. Finally, the Note 13 Pro+ features a 5,000 mAh battery capable of120W fast charging.

The Note 13 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner whereas the Note 13 Pro and 13 Pro Plus both have under-display fingerprint sensors. The standard Note misses out on Stereo speakers, whereas the 13 Pro+ misses out on a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Redmi Note 13 Pro has both.
