Coming up next week on January 4, 2024, the Redmi Note 13 series is all set to arrive in India. However, don't expect Xiaomi's HyperOS on these phones just yet. Instead, they'll debut globally with MIUI 14, based on Android 13, ensuring users get a solid software experience. Plus, there's good news for long-term use – all Redmi Note 13 models will receive 4 years of security updates and 3 years of Android updates, reaching up to Android 16.
“Unveiling #RedmiNote13 Pro 5G, the pinnacle of elegance and innovation. From breathtaking landscapes to stunning portraits, capture visual perfection like never before,” said the company in its announcement post on X.
Now, let's talk specs! The Redmi Note 13 packs a punch with a MediaTek Dimensity 6080 chipset, while its Pro sibling takes a different route, running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 network. The Pro+ variant kicks it up another notch, featuring a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra SoC. Cameras are impressive across the board, with the vanilla model having two back cameras and the Pro model sporting three, including a 16MP selfie camera, a 2MP macro lens, and a hefty 100MP main sensor.
The Pro+ version goes above and beyond, adding an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro unit, a 16MP front sensor, and a massive 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP3 main back sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS). When it comes to power and charging, there are some differences.
The Pro model boasts a slightly larger 5,100mAh battery, while the vanilla edition and the pricier Pro+ variant both house 5,000mAh battery units. Charging speeds also vary, with the Redmi Note 13 offering 33W, the Note 13 Pro stepping it up to 67W, and the Note 13 Pro+ leading the pack with an impressive 120W rapid charging.
As for the expected prices, the Redmi Note 13 is aiming for a launch price of Rs.17,999, while the more advanced Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro+ are anticipated to hit the market at Rs.24,999 and Rs.29,999, respectively.
