XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 13 SERIES Xiaomi’s Redmi phones are renowned for quality cameras and an excellent build, and the new Redmi Note 13 series – the Note 13, Pro and Pro+ – will satisfy regular Redmi users and newcomers alike with high-res cameras, long battery life, and speedy charging. COMING SOON

Redmi Note 13 5G Perfect for general use, the sleek Note 13’s 108MP main camera is powered by the Xiaomi Imaging Engine, putting next-gen computational photography and powerful image processing at your fingertips. A wide f/1.7 aperture overcomes the limitations of low light photography, and 3x lossless zoom retains fine detail in action and long distance shots. You can also customise your shots – and even give them a vintage look – with a variety of filters. The phone’s bright FHD+ display has a refresh rate up to 120Hz for smooth scrolling, and along with Dolby Atmos support, the Redmi Note 13 has an old school 3.5mm headphone jack, which is rather unique in modern phones nowadays. The Redmi Note 13 is built to withstand splashes and dust, and the touchscreen will remain responsive even with wet fingers during rainfall! It also has a big all-day battery with speedy top-ups from the 33W fast charger that's included in the box.

Go Pro The Redmi Note 13 series also includes a couple of Pro models with even higher resolution cameras at 200MP, plus OIS to eliminate camera shake and 2x/4x in-sensor lossless zoom to get up close. The Pro has a Samsung ISOCELL HP3 sensor to capture amazingly lifelike shots, along with the 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro cameras of the Note 13, plus Xiaomi ProCut to crop shots for perfect composition. Flagship photography features can be found on the Pro+, including P3 colour gamut for a wider colour space and true-to-life images – what you see in the viewfinder is exactly what you see on the display – as well as art framing and AI bokeh settings. The Pro and Pro+ models are optimised for gamers, with 2160Hz touch sampling rate and Game Turbo mode with 16x super resolution for greater responsiveness. Who are they for? Photographers looking for camera flexibility and avid gamers ready for next level play will find the features they need in the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Pro+.

Who is it for? An ideal entry level phone with premium features, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 is a recommended upgrade from the Note 12 for camera lovers, and a good introduction to the Redmi range for those new to the Xiaomi brand
