The Redmi Note 13R comes with a 6.79-inch HD+ display using an IPS LCD panel and a high refresh rate of 120 Hz for smooth scrolling.
It uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC to power the device and comes with 5G connectivity.
It supports multiple configurations of RAM and storage: 6GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, 8GB/512GB, 12GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB.
In the camera department, the Note 13R features a dual-camera setup on the rear with a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP macro lens.
For selfies and video calls, an 8MP front-facing camera is provided.
One of the notable changes is the larger 5,030mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging capabilities.
This has been one major leap over the previous generation, which was with 18W fast charging.
The device measures 168.60 x 76.28 x 8.22mm and weighs 205 grams.
On the right side of the device is a fingerprint sensor, which is placed next to the volume rocker, for biometric security, while an IP53 rating promises dust and water resistance.
Other than that, the Android version is not known, but it runs HyperOS, a custom skin by Xiaomi.
Being the newest addition to Redmi’s affordable Note line, the Redmi Note 13R is all about finding a middle ground between performance, features, and affordability.
With its upgraded display, faster-charging capabilities, and enhanced camera setup, the device would do pretty well in the Indian market, if Redmi decides the time is right for it to launch outside of China.
