Xiaomi has been making a profound impact on the smartphone market with its most affordable and full-featured mobile phone products, especially the Redmi Note series.

The price of Redmi Note 13 Pro is only 1499 yuan, while the price of Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is 1899 yuan, and the two are almost the same, so which one should you choose? Here are some of the key differences between them that will hopefully help you decide.
Difference between Redmi Note 13 Pro vs Note 13 Pro+.

The Note 13 Pro maintains the same look and feel as its predecessor, but introduces upgrades like Gorilla Glass Victus on the front for enhanced durability. Its slim profile and balanced weight contribute to a comfortable grip, while you'll also notice a cleverly redesigned rear camera module.
The Note 13 Pro+ stands out for its premium feel and two-tone design that balances elegance and functionality. It boasts similar durability enhancements, including aluminum and glass and Gorilla Glass Victus on the screen.

Both the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Pro+ come with 667-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate. These displays have a stable 1The 5K resolution (1220 x 2712) and slim bezels make them look like high-end devices. While the refresh rate can be adjusted automatically, the default dynamic mode for both phones simply moves between 60 Hz and 120 Hz. This means that there is no LTPO technology that can go all the way down to 1Hz to extend battery life.
Both phones have optical fingerprint sensors inside their displays, and Dolby Atmos-enabled stereo speakers provide adequate sound quality, but only the Pro comes with 35mm headphone jack.
The only difference between the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is that its screen is curved rather than flat, though which one you prefer is a matter of personal preference. The curved design on the Pro+ doesn't have much of an impact on the experience.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7S Gen 2 chipset, while the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ opts for the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra processor.

There is also a difference in the amount of storage available: the 13 Pro has 256GB UFS 22, while the 13 Pro+ offers 512GB UFS 31。

The Redmi Note 13 Pro's main camera has received a major upgrade, although it generates 12 by default5MP to reduce file size. The camera produces decent results overall, with good detail and natural colors, but images can lack sharpness, especially in low lighting conditions. Portrait mode relies on software and is often difficult to be accurate.
The quality of the ultra-wide and macro cameras is average, while the performance of the ** camera is good. Thanks to OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) on the main lens, *quality performs well at 1080p 60fps.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ also shoots 12 by default5MP**, with only a slight improvement in image quality at 200MP. In general, in good lighting conditions, you get some impressive** with strong detail and dynamic range.
However, colors can appear oversaturated, and night mode introduces quite a bit of noise. Portrait mode makes it difficult to separate the subject from the background, resulting in inconsistent background blur.
The ultra-wide-angle lens offers a wider field of view at the expense of image quality, while the macro lens is less effective and still doesn't have a telephoto option. However, the front camera is pretty good.
Overall, there are no major differences between them. Both devices are good at capturing the subject in front of them, but they don't perform well in other scenes.

In terms of battery life, the Redmi Note 13 Pro's 5100mAh battery has a slight advantage over the Redmi Note 13 Pro+'s 5000mAh battery. However, the latter compensates with ultra-fast 120W wired charging, while the Pro only supports 67W wired charging.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro can be fully charged in 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, the Pro+ model is fully charged in 30 minutes.
This fast charging is possible thanks to the turbocharger that both Xiaomi phones have.
Both phones come with additional features such as dual SIM support, 5G connectivity, and an infrared blaster. However, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has the upper hand with support for Wi-Fi 6, which offers a faster and more reliable wireless connection compared to Wi-Fi 5 on the Redmi Note 13 Pro.
Choosing between Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro+ depends on your priorities and budget. If you're looking for a curved display, faster charging, and superior water and dust resistance, then the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ might be the perfect choice for you.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a flat display, headphone jack and want to save some money, the Redmi Note 13 Pro is a great choice. Both devices offer a wide range of features at their respective price points.
