Xiaomi has unveiled five new Redmi Note phones. The new range comprises the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, the Redmi Note 13 Pro, the Redmi Note 13 5G, and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13.

Of these, the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G is the most high-end. It has a 6.67-inch 1220 x 2712 120Hz screen, an IP68 rating, up to 12GB of RAM, up to 512GB of storage, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and a 5,000mAh battery with 120W charging.

With significant upgrades to camera system, design, display and processor, Xiaomi claims the Redmi Note 13 Series continues to close the gap between mid-range and flagship-level smartphones.

Importantly, the Redmi Note 13 Series boasts a versatile, upgraded camera system. The pro models, Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G, Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, and Redmi Note 13 Pro, all feature an ultra-high resolution 200MP camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS), ‘bring a flagship-level photography experience to users’, says the manufacturer. 

Moreover, 2x/4x lossless zoom offers detailed close-ups from a distance and brings the possibility of focusing on individuals in crowds or zooming in on the action. 

These advanced camera systems are supported by a large 1/1.4″ sensor and improved image processing, ‘ensuring astounding image quality even in complex and low light conditions’. The combination of this sensor, a super-large f/1.65 aperture, and Tetra pixel (advanced pixel-binning technology) is designed to deliver bright pictures even in poor lighting conditions, while the 7P lens with Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) reduces flare and ghosting. 

The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G comes in Midnight Black, Moonlight White, and Aurora Purple, with two storage variants. The 12+512G version will be starting from £449/499 EUR. First sale begins on mi.com from January 18-31, where buyers will receive a free Redmi Watch 4 and Redmi Buds 5 as a gift with purchase.
