Highlights
- Redmi Note 13 series bags BIS certification, hinting at imminent India launch.
- Note 13 Pro and Pro+ to debut with groundbreaking Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC and Dimensity 7200 Ultra SoC.

As anticipation builds around Xiaomi’s latest offering, the Redmi Note 13 series, the tech community is buzzing with the news of its recent certification by India’s Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
Set to be unveiled in China on September 21, teasers on Weibo have gradually been shedding light on the features and specifications of the upcoming smartphones.
Redmi Note 13: BIS Certification Spotted
The fresh discovery comes from a vigilant user on X (formerly Twitter).
Two new Redmi smartphone listings have emerged on the BIS certification site with model numbers 2312DRAABI and 2312FRAFDI.
Given the parallels between these and a previous listing on the IMEI database, there’s strong speculation that these could be the standard Note 13 5G and Note 13 4G models.
However, the BIS certification keeps detailed specifications under wraps for now.
Redmi Note 13: Expected Specs
The Pro variants of the Redmi Note 13 series, namely the Note 13 Pro and Note 13 Pro+, will be the flagbearers of two groundbreaking chipsets: the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC and the Dimensity 7200 Ultra SoC.
Their inclusion in these devices will mark a first in the smartphone industry.
Both chipsets have made their way to GeekBench listings, hinting at their impressive capabilities.
Previous sightings of the devices on China’s 3C and TENAA certifications have already revealed a plethora of specifications.
Considering the timing, Xiaomi seems poised to introduce the Redmi Note 13 series in India during the festive season, putting it in direct competition with brands like Realme and iQOO.
Among the tidbits of information circulating the tech grapevine, a hint from Digital Chat Station suggests that the standard Note 13 might come equipped with a 67W fast charging feature.
Still, details remain scarce on the standard models.
