I bought my wife a Redmi Note 13 Pro back in March. It is the 256 GB ROM + 8 GB RAM version. She primarily wanted this phone for the fantastic still shots from the camera. Here is my review of it so far: Pros: 1. Decent build quality. I would say Oppo and Motorola have better build quality in this price bracket, but it is nonetheless more than acceptable. 2. Display is great. And the PWM is no issue for me thanks to the high frequency of 700+ Hz (low PWM frequencies give me migraines). 3. Stereo speakers have great audio quality. 5. Excellent performance from the SD 7s Gen 2 SOC, including for gaming. The modem and antennae are also great, picking up signals reliably, resulting in stable mobile data connections and call quality. 6. The 67 Watt charging tops up the phone up quite fast. 7. The main camera produces fantastic stills in both pixel binning mode and 200 MP mode. My wife is quite pleased with the camera stills. The video quality is also quite something. 8. The GPS is fast and accurate. You can use it for regular navigation without worries. Cons: 1. The phone seems to get quite warm when charging at 67 Watt (though not so when using a 15 Watt charger). It also gets somewhat unusually warm while using GPS, which is something I haven't seen in phones of this price range since Samsung 2019-2020 Galaxy A series line-up. 2. Despite the audio quality from the speakers, they do not get too loud. I have seen phones that cost half as much get much louder (albeit at the cost of audio quality). 3. The phone may have fantastic signal reception where there are lots of towers, but it does not support a lot of bands (well, at least not the Indian and Chinese versions). My wife's phone worked well enough in EU urban areas and even some rural areas, but had issues in other locales. It also seems to have issues catching signals in regions such as the Alps. 4. The ultrawide camera is quite disappointing and the macro is useless. Xiaomi might as well not even have added those to this device. 5. The selfie camera is not a disappointment, but could be much better. I have seen comparable or even slightly better results from some smartphones that cost literally half as much. 6. The battery backup could be much better. It isn't horrible, mind you, as it will get you through a day of average usage and no gaming. But it could be much better. It lasts long while gaming, but - strangely - not so when using GPS, web browsing, and especially when using the camera for some reason. I have no idea why the camera drains so much battery.

Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G

I bought it for my father and I would have bought it for myself with my eyes closed. Very good photos, plenty of ram and memory for what we do (as of today at least June 2024) Very decent 120hz screen with good brightness, looks great outside 65w charging, charger included. Quality rubber cover included. It even has a screen protector installed, it's not made of glass, it's a sheet of Tiquito waves, but I also thank Xiaomi's friends. We've only given up wireless charging, but we're doing it with great pleasure thanks to the price we've paid.

5/5
Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G Arrived within four days of purchase. Aesthetically beautiful phone with 12 gigs of ram and 512 gigs of memory. Great 200 megapixel camera. At first I was hesitant because the smartphone packaging was not sealed because the cellophane was missing in the case and the factory seal on the box had been opened. The package had certainly been opened so I was afraid they had sent me a product returned by someone. It is probably a smartphone that the seller kept on display, however, nothing was missing and the phone is in perfect condition. Arrived equipped with display protection already included, a cover supplied and an excellent charger. Also pleased with the beautiful “aurora” color. At the moment everything is perfect. Xiaomi never disappoints me. I recommend buying!
