Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G vs Pro 5G vs Pro Plus 5G | Which is best for me?

Comparing Xiaomi's Redmi Note 13 5G vs the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and that most premium Pro Plus global smartphone, to see how the camera, battery life etc stacks up. I've already reviewed the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G, and the regular Pro - check back soon for my coverage of the most budget mobile!

They're all coming to the UK imminently but here's some international links:

Now, in some ways these phones are all massively different, starting with the cameras. In our side-by-side test the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G served up the most natural colours. Both Pros are also a step up for low light and HDR shots. However, any kind of motion means blurry photos!

Performance also improves as you upgrade from the Redmi Note 13 5G up to the Pro and Pro Plus models. The regular can cope with PubG etc but you'll need a Xiaomi Pro to play Genshin Impact.

Battery life is excellent on all three Xiaomi smartphones, but the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and that Plus model boost the charging speeds. And you've also got some bonuses like full water resistance on the Note 13 Pro Plus 5G, great news at this budget phone price.

The intro is on spot, bought one for my mom last week, the note 13 pro 5g 😂😂

The pro seems to have the edge of the three, from your review. Thanks for all the info -great job!

[aro-rat]

This is how you do reviews... Masterclass 👏👏👏

The Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G is the one I am thinking about getting. I still have the Redmi Note 10 Pro, which is a very good midrange phone from 3 years ago.

I’ve literally just binned off my iPhone 15 in favour of the 13 pro plus, couldn’t be happier. Cheers Spurt

Your big fan from Ethiopia. Love to watch your videos. They are very informative. I love to try Redmi note 13pro+. You make it seem very interesting, or maybe it is interesting. Keeping rocking!

I've had my redmi note 10 for over 3 years and the bloody thing still won't die or slow down I'm actually annoyed I still don't need to upgrade 😅

Great review. You convinced me to go for the Pro 5G. I like the headphone jack and the pics and video resolution.

[davidanselm]

Amazing review and humourous must I add.

If you could add written descriptions in the video when comparing battery, processor, camera and that would be perfect.

[Perkiperks]

Just received my Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5g this evening with free ear buds and smart watch 😁👍🏻

Just an FYI the reason why we have ip68 on budget phones is specifically because waterproofing headphone jacks takes very complex electrical engineering to prevent a short.

So here I am watching this on my Note 10 Pro. I saw the 11 series, 12 series now the 13 series and seems that I will still keep my Note 10 Pro for another Gen Skip. The main reason is that WideCamera. It is the same since the Note 10 Pro and that's the one I and probably everyone else uses most, as we want to incorporate as much as possible into the picture, especially travelling. I usually use the main camera when I need to take close pictures of receipts or other paperwork, but everything else is WideCam. Also the lack of SD Card is disturbing. On the Note 10 Pro I slammed a 256gb SD car and with the internal memory it is great. The versatility an flexibility that an SD Card offers is amazing. As for the performance... they are not far off for daily use anyway. :) Thank you for the review! Sorry Xiaomi, skipping this Gen out.

Started using Redmi with the Note 9, then Note 10 then Note 11 phone. Never ever considered going back to Samsung since owning these amazing phones. I just bought myself a Note 13 Pro 5G, although still using my Note 11, nothing wrong with it and still attached. To me the 13 Pro 5G is better value for money than the Pro +, besides curved screen, almost identical in all other specs.

Dear Uncle Spurt! Do you test 5G phones with the 5G on or off? (Stupid Question, but relevant) Do you live in a broadly 5G area? I notice the "First Generation" of 5G phones haemorrhage battery life when 5G is on. It would be good to know if the latest chip sets have improved that!

[wallacemiranda]

This vid made me buy the redmi 13 pro plus and oh yess.. Its a very good phone! 💪

[BirminghamDsouza-qpiq]

The James Corden reference was spot on 😂

[AbuGhosh]

Great device, bought two regular for my parents for $175 each
