Redmi Note 13 series: should you buy?

The Redmi Note 13 series is from the brand's most popular series. With the latest models, you get a refreshed design and a new vegan leather finish. In terms of specs, the Redmi Note 13 series offers a well-rounded package for its price segment. This time, the price has increased slightly for all three phones but you can get it reduced by clubbing the bank offers. 

If we compare it to the previous models, the Redmi Note 13 Pro models now offer Gorilla Glass Victus protection, which is also a first in this price range. The vanilla Redmi Note 13 gets Gorilla Glass 5 instead. The cameras are also an upgrade with a new 200MP sensor on the Pro models, and a bumped up 108MP snapper on the Redmi Note 13. The Pro models also feature a 16MP front camera. As expected, all three phones also come with an upgraded chipset.
