Redmi 13C - Watch This Before You Buy!!!

This is my review video of the Xiaomi Redmi 13C, the latest C series smartphone from Xiaomi that packs a few upgrades with a catch.
The Redmi 13C comes with a 90Hz refresh rate, a 50 MP lens and a few others to give this a fresh device in the market, however, in contrast to other brands in the market, it isn't as good as it it seems which is discussed in this video. #Redmi13C #Xiaomi #XiaomiRedmi13C

I got one last week and find it to be an amazing phone. Better than phones hundreds of euros more expensive. I will never spend big money on anything from Samsung again.

Im always watching your reviews. I hope have that phone someday 😌

[@DJEmps]

I got mine for 3.8K pesos (6/128). Helio G85 on this price is actually impressive, rather than getting unisoc or Helio G36.

[@Chrisispoint]

I would agree, but still, the fact that they used the same processor released 2-3 years ago, is just a bit off.

[@DJEmps]

Yeah even if G85 is old, as long as it performs okay, i wouldn't mind. Unless it's priced at 6K+ pesos.

[@shanegovender746]

@Chrisispoint another option is the samsung a05s if you can get it around the same price as the 13c . In south africa they both same price but a05s is 64gb storage for about 7 to 8k Php or 2499 rand . The 13c would have got about 270k on antutu, a05s did over 320k . With discounts on Lazada or shopee might get it cheaper .

I agree, probably if the software was optimized a bit more just to enhance the overall user experience, that would've been great.

One think you should mention is the software locks split screen and floating windows,with basically no way to get it back.

Great reviews on here. What would you say was the best 2 phones for similar money before I buy this redmi?

[@Chrisispoint]

Don't get me wrong, for all intended purposes, the Redmi 13C is an okay smartphone for the price, I just couldn't fathom the idea they re-used the same chip considering I've used their previous C series smartphones the past years with the same chip.

[@marcopaganotto9125]

They're just using up old stock. If the device is cheaper then what's the problem?

[@Chrisispoint]

The fact that they are selling a product touting it as "brand new" while using old stock while marking up value is the problem. There's no value being given to consumers who are tight on the budget looking to upgrade, that's the problem.

[@Chrisispoint]

Yep, which is okay, though personally I don't think this should impact the price, again the proc is old, probably some other components are recycled and given thr advancements of the brand, i think consumers are supposed to get more for the money, than something that is recycled.

[@Chrisispoint]

Good for you! 🙂

[@Straineyes]

@chrisispoint is the bugs thingy true? Its obvious? How can we prevent the bugs other than to 'get another phone"

[@Chrisispoint]

Bugs are usually issues with the software. In a reality of things, unlees a software roll out is pushed, there's really not much you can do. You can either "root" your phone and use custom roms but voids the warranty (and requires a bit of know-how), or, just avoid this model, and buy something else. I understand buying an affordable smartphone ($100-$150) saves a lot of money, but, if the device performs this bad, plus the bugs and all, it isn't worth it.

[@Straineyes]

@@Chrisispoint Thx for the explanation. I just got this phone a couple days ago and to sell this one and get another model, just not that easy...

[@Chrisispoint]

Totally understand, and again, if your tight on the budget and you need a smartphone, it will do smartphone stuff just fine. The concept of the video is just my own honest opinion since I've used 2 generations, so if you're coming from a redmi 9C and is upgrading to the 13C then in my honest opinion, it's not good.

Should I buy Motorola Moto G54 5G smartphone 4/128GB or xiaomi redmi 13c, which one has better camera and best for games like pubg I want to buy it for my dad

[@Chrisispoint]

I honestly wouldn't know since I have not tested out the G54 5G, but based on paper specifications the Moto is better considering you're gonna be having your dad play PUBG. Plus the fact that the moto has a midrange processor so better image processing for taking photos.

[@ModyX0]

@@Chrisispoint so is moto better for games like pubg and has better camera?

[@Chrisispoint]

Like I said, can't really confirm since I haven't tested out that model yet, but if you're leaning towards raw specifications between these two models, you're better off with the moto than this redmi 13C, the redmi is cheap but specifications are dated, not really recommendable.

[@Chrisispoint]

Honestly speaking, you're going to have to shell out a bit more, like increase that budget to at least at a minimum $180-200. Not a lot of Android phones can handle "Good Gaming and photography" at a low price, even the new CMF Phone 1 is priced at a $200 mark at best.

[@mrmeat436]

Is having no free cover rly bad?bcuz I alr buyed a cover

Not really, it is just a common thing most brands do, which a lot of users has gotten used to. Seeing competitors that sell something of the same price but comes with free accessories in the box makes this device a bit of a stretch for the price.

[@striker1917]

Hey loved the review. But can you plz tell me about the batter quality

[@Chrisispoint]

Battery Life is okay, can last 2-3 days with moderate use, the downside is the charging speeds, would take about 2 hours or so to get 0 - 100%.

[@striker1917]

@@Chrisispoint true. Ive bought it yesterday, actually got a new phone by replacing my old new redmi 13c which had issues with hanging. But im still worried as the mobile heats up while charging from 0-80% and stays normal further till 100%. And the battery is draining fast. So far no other issues.

[@Chrisispoint]

That's pretty normal, especially if the device is in use while charging and is connected to WiFi or Mobile Data. The battery draining fast can be of many factors - app configuration (what apps are allowed to run in the background) - brightness levels - volume levels - app notifications - how many apps are open or left open The list goes on, so it really just depends on how you use the device. Usually this happens for the first 1-2 weeks, once the device gets used to how you use your phone, that heating bit will eventually fade, not completely but minimized.

Best to check online for alternatives, it is quite hard to recommend any, but try to avoid any smartphone that comes with a Helio G processor, especially from Xiaomi. The G85 is not a bad processor, it is just that their Android Skin is too heavy, so the overall performance feels sluggish.
