Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G vs Pro 5G vs Pro Plus 5G | Which is best for me?

Comparing Xiaomi's Redmi Note 13 5G vs the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and that most premium Pro Plus global smartphone, to see how the camera, battery life etc stacks up. I've already reviewed the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G, and the regular Pro - check back soon for my coverage of the most budget mobile!
They're all coming to the UK imminently but here's some international links:
Redmi Note 13 5G: s.zbanx.com/r/X0l0oBsSGjRq
Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G: s.zbanx.com/r/NSu5Lmbh36HA
Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G: s.zbanx.com/r/olUrRdcUtt2q
Now, in some ways these phones are all massively different, starting with the cameras. In our side-by-side test the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G served up the most natural colours. Both Pros are also a step up for low light and HDR shots. However, any kind of motion means blurry photos!
Performance also improves as you upgrade from the Redmi Note 13 5G up to the Pro and Pro Plus models. The regular can cope with PubG etc but you'll need a Xiaomi Pro to play Genshin Impact.
Battery life is excellent on all three Xiaomi smartphones, but the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and that Plus model boost the charging speeds. And you've also got some bonuses like full water resistance on the Note 13 Pro Plus 5G, great news at this budget phone price.

Dear Uncle Spurt! Do you test 5G phones with the 5G on or off? (Stupid Question, but relevant) Do you live in a broadly 5G area? I notice the "First Generation" of 5G phones haemorrhage battery life when 5G is on. It would be good to know if the latest chip sets have improved that!

Just an FYI the reason why we have ip68 on budget phones is specifically because waterproofing headphone jacks takes very complex electrical engineering to prevent a short.

[@amora5292]

Hi there, I have been thinking to buy a new phone. Which do u think is the most suggested? Regular Samsung galaxy s23 or redmi note 13 pro plus?

[@chris_1988]

Been using the Pro Plus version for about a month. I'd say it's a mixed bag, but that's coming from someone who got the phone from China with some sort of Frankenstein hybrid of the Chinese and global MIUI 14. (Basically the base is the Chinese version and then they unlocked the bootloader and slapped most features of the global version on there while removing most of the Chinese stuff. This lead to some very unsavory results like GMail not being able to download attachments, Google Drive crashing when downloading files and, worst of all, the phone not being eligible to receive the HyperOS update due to the unlocked bootloader.) The hardware is great, it feels pretty heavy, the camera kicks ass and actually has some decent color filters built in. I didn't think I'd like it, but the curved screen feels and looks very nice. Selfie cam is a bit whatever but still almost as good as my previous phone's main camera (upgraded from a 2017 Moto G6 Plus). I also opted for the all black back panel as I found the color choice of the faux leather kinda hideous. Black looks very nice though. Either way, it also came with a black plastic case so it's always protected and you can't really see the backside. So yeah, all in all I wanna love this phone because on paper it does a lot right. However, MIUI (compared to stock Android) is just not it, even if it wasn't for all the unneccessary bugs in my case. Currently trying to return the phone and start the whole research process all over again to find something better at a reasonable price.

[@chris_1988]

I had just written a lengthy reply on my phone and then accidentally closed the comment window and it was all gone 😭 Here we go again... You're welcome! I don't know anything about the A35, so I can't answer that question. The Redmi Note 13 (Pro +) is a pretty sweet device if you get it with the proper, official OS for your region. All the positive things I listed still hold true. Since writing my original comment, I have upgraded to a Google Pixel 8 Pro and while it's clearly a superior device in almost every regard (expect internal storage and RAM), Google isn't really any better than Xiaomi or other companies when it comes to bloat ware and pushing their own services in your face. While MIUI may come with TikTok, various games etc. preinstalled, the Pixel 8 is loaded with Google's entire ecosystem whether it's useful or not. Stuff like Google Meet, KZbin Music, Google Home or Google Watch definitely aren't "every person might need this"-types of apps like Google Maps or Gmail are, so including them on the system and sometimes even making it impossible to uninstall them is no better than what Xiaomi or Samsung are doing. So in that regard, "stock" Android doesn't even feel that different from MIUI. Google apps may feel cleaner than whatever ad-infested crap Xiaomi puts on their phones, but while Google may not harrass you with popups to buy the latest Temu garbage, they will gladly "spy" on every aspect of your life and take that data as payment instead. Long story short: I have to dial back on the hate for MIUI from a previous comment. So if that made you stop considering getting the Note 13, I hope I was able to get it back to a more neutral ground. Just, again, do not go for some back-alley moonshine proprietary blend MIUI that came out of some tech farm in China.

[@chriscrockpot5410]

I love how every 2 years or so I come back to this channel when I need an upgrade😂

[@themightyprophet]

So here I am watching this on my Note 10 Pro. I saw the 11 series, 12 series now the 13 series and seems that I will still keep my Note 10 Pro for another Gen Skip. The main reason is that WideCamera. It is the same since the Note 10 Pro and that's the one I and probably everyone else uses most, as we want to incorporate as much as possible into the picture, especially travelling. I usually use the main camera when I need to take close pictures of receipts or other paperwork, but everything else is WideCam. Also the lack of SD Card is disturbing. On the Note 10 Pro I slammed a 256gb SD car and with the internal memory it is great. The versatility an flexibility that an SD Card offers is amazing. As for the performance... they are not far off for daily use anyway. :) Thank you for the review! Sorry Xiaomi, skipping this Gen out.
