Redmi Note 13 Pro+ IP68 dust and water resistance confirmed ahead of January 4th launch

Redmi Note 13 Pro+ IP68 certification: What it means

On the face of it, the IP68 rating certifies the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ to be water resistant up to a maximum depth of 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes. The device will be resistant to dust particles too. 

Based on its predecessor's pricing, we think the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ could launch for around Rs 30,000 price or lower. Not many phones in this price range offer IP68 certification. So, Redmi offering this can encourage the broader market to also release IP68 midrange phones.

That said, you should note that even with this rating, water damage may not be covered in the warranty. The phone's Chinese edition didn't.

Well, since the phone has already launched in China a few months back, we know what to expect when it lands in India. 

Redmi Note 13 Pro+ specifications (expected)

• Display: Redmi Note 13 Pro+ could sport a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

• Processor: Under the hood, you could expect the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra SoC.
• Memory: It could come in 12GB RAM+ 256GB, 12GB + 512GB and 16GB + 512GB variants. 
• Cameras: On the back of the phone, you could get a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP3 sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. Meanwhile, on the front, there could be a 16MP front camera.
• Battery: A 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging support could keep the phone alive.

The company has so far confirmed details like a vegan leather finish, a 1.5K curved AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra chipset, and its 3 colours namely Fusion Purple, Fusion Black, and Fusion White. We also know it will be available on Amazon and Flipkart among other outlets.
