Redmi 13R 5G budget phone with 50MP camera, HD+ display launched in China: price, specs

Highlights
  • Redmi 13R 5G comes with same set of specs as the Redmi 13C 5G.
  • Redmi 13C 5G launched in India last month. 
  • The smartphone is a budget offering with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

A new Redmi smartphone has been launched in China. It’s the Redmi 13R 5G, which is actually a rebranded Redmi 13C 5G that launched in India just last month. This seems like a reverse strategy since Redmi phones usually debut in China, and make it other markets later under a different moniker. The budget phone comes with a 5,000mAh battery, HD+ display, MIUI 14 and a 50MP camera.
