But for the price, the pros largely outweigh the cons, making this a good purchase overall in this class.

IP54-rated no-nonsense design, nice colors, Gorilla Glass 5 front.

No HDR video support, which is otherwise common for Xiaomi devices.

Significantly cheaper than 5G model ; Strong 120Hz OLED display ; IP54 rated

Sharper, tighter design ; 120Hz OLED display still excellent ; Generous storage ; Good software support

Affordable all-rounder handset ; Great AMOLED display with slim bezels ; Decent main camera ; Charger is included

Plenty of bloatware ; MIUI 14 with Android 13 instead of HyperOS/Android 14 ; Another stupid 2 MP macro camera

I love my job. I really do! But you simply shouldn't expect me to paint a smartphone like the Redmi Note 13 5G in glowing terms for your mind's eye and pretend that I'm enthusiastically clicking my tongue in the face of an amazing piece of innovative...

Geen Wi-Fi 6;Laag volume oortelefoon;Hoofdcamera mist EIS/OIS, 60 fps en 4K video-opname;Dimensity 6080 SoC begint zijn leeftijd te tonen;Batterijlevensduur moet worden verbeterd
