thanks for covering phones people actually buy, instead of just samsung and apple flagships

I got the regular 13 pro and it's excellent. I don't play games, i only do everyday tasks, so the 100 euro reference wasn't deal for me.😢

There's too much of a price jump for the plus model for very little extra.

Hi there. May I know the latest MIUI or Hyper OS version now of the Note 13 Pro 5G?
And have you guys experienced this nonstop focus hunting issue when recording video in 1080p 30/60 and 4K 30?
Would love your advice as im planning on getting this phone. Thanks.

[nicholecabradilla]

[tundetudor]

You guys are the gods of mobile phone reviews. I've not seen any other come close 💪🏿💥

Is ufs 2.2 on the pro only for 128gb version or for all?

[evangelinesampat]

Watching on my Redmi note 13 pro plus. Love it ❤ the camera is very clear

For photo quality esp. color contrast, Redmi note 13 pro or Galaxy A25?

T = 11h 59m
F = 10h 50m

I love Gsmarena. If it also shows graphics of performance will be even better. And also more tests

Currently using the redmi note 12 pro 4gb should i upgrade?

[KevzLes]

I am using Redmi Note 13 Pro 4g. I like the camera cause it's 200 mp, the display because it's AMOLED and the storage for it's 8 256 gb. What I don't like is it is EASY TO GET DRAIN IT'S BATTERY for its 5000 mph battery. Easy to low bat.

There's actually a 13 Pro 4G that has microsd card slot and FM radio plus weak specs. Wish Xiaomi just put those two features on the regular 13 Pro 5G.

Why always omit the video stabilization comparison?

[GFourGadget]

The Pro+ is such a complete midrange phone that it's worth splurging a little more for it 🔥

Dear handsome Mr Will, pls review Infinix Note 40 Pro & GT 20 Pro

[Playlist-zlwu]

Hello.
I kindly ask you to help me in making the following choice between these phones:
Poco X6 pro VS
Redmi Note 13 pro PLUS VS
Motorola 50 Fusion VS
Samsung A55. VS
I am also opened to Poco F6 as a variant if it would be really worth it in my case.
Use case: phone will be used for photos and media consumption (browsing, Youtube etc); battery and system stability are important. Almost NO gaming on the phone and the number of years of future updates are not important.

Thank you for the valuable information. I am a fan of the Xiaomi brand. I have a Radmi Not 8 Pro phone and I hope to get a Radmi Not 13 Pro + phone.

Are you guys at GSMArena purposefully avoiding to test and review the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro?
