Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.6/10
Verdict
The Redmi Note 13 5G offers a bunch of thoughtful improvements over the Redmi Note 12 5G, making it a value-for-money option for many customers. Its tall AMOLED display is still one of the best in the segment. The new MediaTek Dimensity 6080 SoC also offers a decent performance, gaming included. However, Xiaomi needs to work on refining the Android experience. Its cameras (in daylight) are decent if not the best.
Pros
- Crisp display
- Reliable performance
- Sleek design
- Solid battery
Cons
- Lowlight photography needs improvements
- No stereo speakers
Design and display
+
Traditionally, Redmi Note smartphones have been known for their bright colours and flashy accents. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 13 5G's white and black colour options adopt a minimalistic approach. The white model (Arctic White) that I am reviewing offers a marble-like finish, which I quite like. The white surface also does a decent job of hiding scratch marks and fingerprint smudges. There's still a gold variant if you prefer a flashy design.

Cameras

The regular Note 13 now incorporates a 108MP primary, a first on a non-Pro Redmi Note smartphone. The rear camera module, which also adopts a new design, houses an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2 MP macro camera.

Performance

As mentioned, the Redmi Note 13 5G draws power from MediaTek's Dimensity 6080 SoC paired with 6GB of LPPDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. The variant I am reviewing offers 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, priced at Rs 19,999. There's also a variant with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage available for Rs 21,999.

Battery and charging
+
The Redmi Note 13 5G continues to pack a 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging. The phone performed decently in the PCMark battery test, lasting over 12 hours with flight mode enabled. In day-to-day usage, the Note 13 fetched roughly 10 hours of battery. Mind you, this was with the highest settings enabled. You can extend the backup per charge with moderate settings.
