The most popular smartphone series in the past few years is the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G
which we have. These are Indian variants, different from the Chinese variants, with many differences. While there isn't much variation between them, there are some things you should know. It's a very interesting phone with features that aren't available in phones below ₹30,000. I don't know the exact price at the moment while writing this article, but it'll likely be in the range of ₹25,000 to ₹30,000
and there are various colors. At the bottom, there's light blue, a bit darker above that, light green on top, and even lighter shades of green. Also, there's the Redmi branding, giving this phone a completely different look. I don't understand why they've given such a large camera module
On the right-hand side, there's a power on/off button, above that, there's a volume rocker, an IR blaster, noise cancellation microphone, then you have a speaker grill. This phone comes with IP68 ratings

Until now, the Note phones you've seen are not at all like this. It comes with a vegan leather finish,
Redmi note 13 pro plus build quality
The phone has a vegan leather back, and you should use it with the case, otherwise, you know it'll get dirty if used for too long without the case. Moving forward, it has Gorilla Glass Victus protection, again, on a mid-range phone. I'd call it a premium mid-range because ₹25k to ₹30k is a little more. In this, you get Gorilla Glass Victus protection, which is really good in terms of protection. Its weight is 199.6 grams, so it's not very light or heavy; it feels quite good in the hand. The vegan leather at the back provides a nice grip, making it feel very goodRedmi note 13 pro plus ports & buttons
If I talk about ports and buttons, in between, there's a SIM card tray, a microphone, USB Type-C, and a speaker grill.
Redmi note 13 pro plus Display
The display is beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Speaking about the display, it's a 6.67-inch with 1.5k resolution, a 120Hz Curved Amoled display. It has a peak brightness of 1800 nits and a 93% screen-to-body ratio.
Talking about the bezels, the side bezels are practically non-existent, even the chin bezel is very thin. In terms of the display, the colors and other aspects look really good, genuinely nice; it's a very, very good quality display. Also, it supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. So, with Netflix and other high HDR content, when viewed with Dolby Vision, you are going to enjoy it
Redmi note 13 pro plus Multimedia
I also emphasize on its stereo speakers; excellent audio quality and a good display, making it an absolutely great device for multimediaRedmi note 13 pro plus Specifications
Let's talk about the specifications. It features the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra processor as the base variant, equipped with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The RAM type is LPDDR5, and it uses UFS3.1 storage, which is good. Regarding the Antutu score, it's around 717,715,
and it houses a 5000mAh battery with 120W charging. It charges from 1 to 100% in about 19 minutes, which is impressive. It also supports virtual RAM, providing an additional 8GB when you have 8GB physical RAM
As always, we've tested it in different conditions, and under normal conditions, the photos come out well. However, the camera isn't the strongest point. But remember, in the 2024 competition, many other phones have also stepped up. If you're still looking for a camera smartphone under ₹30,000, there aren't many options, but that might change in 2024. The forward-facing camera is full HD, but you'll be able to shoot at 60fps. Speaking of features, there are many: document scanning, a 200MP native mode, portrait mode, video mode, night mode, timelapse, slow-motion mode, AI watermark, short film mode, panorama, and plenty of filters. So, again, it's a camera packed with lots and lots of features
Redmi note 13 pro plus performance
Moving on to gaming, it can handle HDR at 60fps for games like BGMI and COD Mobile. However, as of now, it doesn't support 90fps, but it performs decently in HDR. The CPU was tested for 30 minutes, reaching about 84-85%, which is considered very good. Lastly, it has a USB Type-C 2.0 portRedmi note 13 pro plus O.S
Let's move towards the operating system now. If I talk about the OS, it comes with Mui14 based on Android 13. Xiaomi has stated they'll provide 3 years of updates and 4 years of security updates. Mui14 on Android 13 is hyper OS ready, meaning updates will arrive quickly. So, you'll receive Hyper OS along with 2 major updates, presumably 15 and 16, and 4 years of security updates. When setting up Mui14, I noticed some dark patterns and pre-installed apps, particularly about 7 to 8 pre-installed games. You can uninstall them, but it's important to mention that. Connectivity-wise, it supports all 5G bands in India, so no worries there. It also supports dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi calling, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC. This time, they've included NFC, so connectivity is fully covered, which is greatRedmi note 13 pro plus camera
All right, the main thing is, if you compare it with the 12 Pro Plus, there's a big upgrade. It has a 200MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide, and instead of the HPX sensor, it now has an HP3 sensor. Also, a 16MP selfie sensor.
