**10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
The Redmi Note 13 series is impressive with its **, with a special focus on its camera and some interesting AI features. They could be a potential economical alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro+ are two high-end models in the Redmi Note 13 series released in January.
I was blown away by how lightweight these two new Redmi Note phones were. This is due to the fact that both models have a plastic middle frame, with the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G having a plastic back and weighing only 187 grams, while the Pro+ is a more standard 204 grams. They look relatively sturdy, and the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus.
Different models vary in their protection against dust and water, with the Pro supporting an IP53 rating while the Pro+ offers an IP68 rating.
Both devices have a sleek, sleek look that doesn't feel uncomfortable or difficult to hold, but the Pro+ stands out in its class for its slightly curved shape, while all other models feature a flat-edge design.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has a speaker, microphone, and IR blaster on the top, and another speaker, microphone, and SIM card tray on the bottom. Meanwhile, the power and volume buttons are located on the right side. Everything is very ordinary. I was surprised to see 13. in the Redmi Note 3 Pro5mm audio jacks, as most phones have eliminated them in Bluetooth connectivity, but they do offer another option to extend battery life when listening**.
Both the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and Pro+ have sleek and bright 6A 67-inch, 120hz AMOLED screen with smaller bezels, which I didn't test in any streaming** or games, but it still looks colorful and sharp.
The Redmi Note 13 series has a strong focus on photography, which is best illustrated by the respective triple camera systems of the Pro and Pro Plus, which have a 200MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, as well as a 16MP front-facing camera camera, supported by optical image stabilization.
This enlarged camera module stands out more than the previous Redmi Note 12 Pro, and the 50-megapixel camera is replaced with an upgraded 200-megapixel main camera on both models.
When I pushed the zoom to the full 4x focal length range, I was impressed with the detail preserved by the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus, which is where optical image stabilization comes in handy, especially in dimly lit environments.
The inclusion of a 2MP macro camera may seem a bit pointless, and the macro camera does add a lot to the overall smartphone camera experience. Ultra-wide-angle cameras are more commonly used for macro photography in today's best phones.
Shot in 200 megapixel mode** can use Xiaomi Procut 20 generates different crops to accommodate a variety of different aspect ratios. This is handy for shooting social content. The color reproduction, while not completely faded, is a bit dull, which gives a more natural, realistic feel.
AI effects are also a key feature, such as the beautification option, which allows me to edit certain features of the photo, such as my face shape and eye size.
I also saw a demo of the AI Sky Replacement tool, which helped replace gray, faded, flat skies with some eye-catching dramatic skies that looked nice, several of which looked a bit rough. You can also remove unwanted characters from **, just like the Magic Eraser feature in recent Google Pixel models.
Due to the larger-than-usual 1 14"The sensor, low-light performance is better than I expected, and it collects more light in a single shot, which is noticeable in the dim space where I use my phone.
In terms of camera layout, both the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ and Redmi Note 13 Pro feature an attractive triple-camera square design. However, I noticed that on the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, it protrudes slightly and prevents me from laying the phone flat, while the Pro Plus seems to integrate a better camera system.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G uses the Snapdragon 7S Gen 2, while the Pro+ uses the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra chipset.
Both 4nm chips lag behind the latest Snapdragon Gen 3 and Gen 2 chips, but in day-to-day use, it probably doesn't matter as both chips still perform well.
In the limited time I've been using the two devices, I don't see much of a difference between the two in terms of performance, but the Dimensity chip should have an advantage in terms of gaming and performance. I did notice occasional stuttering with both models, especially on the Pro with Snapdragon, when I used the camera and AI features, but nothing too shocking; This may also be attributed to software optimization.
Both devices come with the latest MIUI version 13 based on Android 140.2 instead of Android 14, which is currently rolling out on the latest devices.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has a 5,000mAh battery with a fast 120W Hypercharge that claims to fully charge the phone in 19 minutes.
Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G comes with a slightly larger 5100mAh battery that supports 67W turbo charging, which is not as fast as the Plus model, but still fast, with the phone fully charged in just 44 minutes, and both come with a charger.
So, in terms of battery life, both phones can beat the Galaxy S24 in terms of capacity and charging speed, and maybe even several other best Android phones.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro and Pro+ I've seen so far are impressive. Some features are comparable to some of the latest flagship phones.
