New Redmi Note 13 series launched locally from SGD229

Xiaomi Singapore has officially introduced the new Redmi Note 13 series of smartphones, comprising four different models for consumers to choose from.

The models include the Note 13 Pro+ 5G, Note 13 Pro 5G, Note 13 5G, and Note 13.

Starting with the Pro+ 5G and Pro 5G models, both feature a superior 1.5K AMOLED panel for display and a robust 200MP main camera with OIS, accompanied by a standard set of 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro cameras.

The primary distinction between the two lies in the SoC and fast charge speed, so determining whether the extra charging speed is essential may ultimately be the one factor you need to decide for yourself.

Meanwhile, the Note 13 5G and Note 13 offer the standard “5G/4G” variant to cater to different preferences. Consequently, the chipset will differ, but its impact seems minimal.

While the cameras on these models are slightly less advanced than the Pro versions, they may suffice for users looking to save some money.

In terms of overall design, all four models share the same appearance, simplifying the decision-making process for consumers.
