Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G
The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G, shares a similar 6.7-inch OLED screen and MIUI software as the rest, it stands out with a much faster chip, insane 120W fast charging, beautiful design and a few other notable features.
Other attractions of the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ include an upgraded 200MP primary camera with OIS (optical image stabilization), MediaTek’s 4nm-based Dimensity 7200 Ultra SoC, an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
Speaking of the display, the 6.67-inch AMOLED screen offers a sharp viewing experience with 1.5K resolution (2,712 x 1,220 pixels) and up to 1800 nits peak brightness. There’s also support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision for an immersive movie viewing experience. Xiaomi is taking cues from its competitors and maintaining a high PWM dimming to up to 1,920Hz for a reduced flicker on the screen. The display also offers 120Hz refresh rate for a smooth gaming and scrolling experience.
While there’s no Leica partnership in Xiaomi’s mid-range (yet), the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ includes an upgraded 200MP primary camera. For instance, it now utilizes an ISOCELL HP3 sensor (the previous being the ISOCELL HPX sensor), which captures sharper details and more light. As a result, when you zoom in, photos captured in 200MP mode exhibit clearer details, less noise, and more readable text at a distance. Naturally, the file size also increases when you click photos in this mode.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G
This particular review is for the middle child in this family of five, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G. Notice the lack of 5G in the name and in the feature set, but also notice that this is a "Pro" phone. For this particular series, the Pro series indicates an improved 200MP main camera sensor and a faster chip inside the phone.
As for all the rest, the Redmi Note 13 Pro is a big phone with a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED screen and it also has a 5,000mAh battery, just like all five phones in the series.
Xiaomi Pad 5
Design-wise, the Xiaomi Pad 5 sure doesn’t look like a plain ordinary tablet. Its style is edgy with a smooth frosted back and a square camera module with curved edges that takes its looks from the brand’s Mi 11 series—mostly the Mi 11 Lite. The unit we have is in the Pearl White color which reflects some somewhat sunset hues from different angles.
It looks clean, modern, and it’s nice that it doesn’t attract a lot of fingerprint smudges. Still, we suggest placing a case on so the camera module doesn’t wobble the device when placed on flat surfaces. It’s also available in a darker Cosmic Gray version if you’re interested.
