Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G | Unboxing & One Week Review

Reviewing Xiaomi's Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, including an unboxing, camera test, gaming performance and battery life verdict. I've been using the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G as my personal phone for a week and here's how it stacks up vs the Pro Plus, as well as that Poco X6!

If you're after a budget mid-range smartphone in 2024, this is among the best. Sure, it's not IP68 water resistant like the Plus, while the gaming chops aren't as strong. But for a cheaper UK price, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G boasts excellent specs, top battery performance and can rattle through Genshin Impact. On reduced graphics settings, admittedly.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G's 200MP main camera is good in most cases, although can falter when your subject isn't stationary or when the lighting isn't ideal. You can even shoot at that maximum camera resolution, to zoom in afterwards.

We're still waiting for Xiaomi to slap its new Hyper OS launcher on here. But the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G does come with 3 OS updates and 4 years of security patching.

So that's my review of this brilliant mid-range phone, let us know your thoughts below! And check out my Poco X6 5G videos from last week for more rivals!

Just upgraded from Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro (it was working flawlessly tho) to Redmi 13 Pro 5G. It's been an absolute blast so far. Especially the camera, it is absolutely amazing

I believe if phone brands would advertise their phones with your wallpapers, they would quadruple sales numbers.
They put such a good spotlight on the screen.

Best wallpapers as always. I appreciate you always showing love to anime. And I like that small Chainsaw Man figure 👍

My Redmi Note 10s was stolen 2 years ago, i am still mourning even today, everyday when i get in my room, i see the bix and tell myself that I will get a Redmi again. I am definitely gonna get the Note 13 pro

I recently bought Nokia G42. It is working great so far. I love stock Android and the fluidity it is offering. Most importantly it has "double tap to wake" feature (which is a must for me). Thank you for making reviews of budget and midrange smartphones.

Just found out you can keep the always on display always on so it doesn't turn off and go until you tap it on poco and xiaomi phones with the almost always on display. To get it display all the time without turning off after a few seconds. You have to go into developer options and turn the miui optimization off!

I got that phone and it is amazing, the white clolor is so beatiful

[ihavenoname]

Your reviews convinced me to buy the redmi note 10 pro a few years ago and I've just bought this one, thank you 😂

Loving my X6 Pro (yellow, 512Gb) Uncle 👍.... (also, mine has the matte/ faux leather finish so no issues with prints etc!)

[hahaanwevghf]

Thanks for this review, just bought mine yesterday and its so good, glad i chose this instead of the pro plus.

[ronniemushiwokufa]

Exactly the machine I ordered from China in December. 16+6/512 GB this is a massive machine. I absolutely love it...

[joem]

Still have the Poco X4 pro and nothing is really exciting me enough to change yet. But again great review uncle!

[camotech]

This is better than the pro plus model because of fiat screen, pro plus has the curved screen which I'm not a fan of. 😂

[gqmklfw]

I really appreciate the way Mr tech spurt doesn't use words like my daily driver or talk utter shite all the time about apple iPhones 😅

[shamowczarzak]

Chris is the best. He's responsible for my last 5 phones, and soon 6th. All he's reviews are like advices. I stopped watching other guys including Brownlee. Keep up great work Chris, cheers 😊

[Ocean-pdhu]
