Xiaomi adds a new member to the Redmi Note 13 series with the more affordable Redmi Note 13R.

The new Redmi Note 13R, sadly, uses a lot of the same hardware as its predecessor. Possibly the only thing that’s new here is the slightly redesigned camera lenses for the 50-megapixel main shooter and 2-megapixel macro lens, as well as the sharper 8-megapixel selfie up from the 5-megapixels of the Note 12R.

It also gets a smoother 120Hz refresh rate (from 90Hz), but has the same 6.79-inch FHD+ IPS screen. Plus, being a 2024 release, it runs on the latest Android 14 operating system with Xiaomi’s all-new HyperOS.

The battery is insignificantly bigger at 5,030mAh (from 5,000mAh), but does gain a much faster 33W charger (from 18W).

It also has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, but with a slightly higher clock speed of 2.3GHz ( from 2.2GHz).

Those who are in China — where the device will be initially available — can get it in Black, Silver, and the hero color: Light Sea Blue. All of which feature a glass rear panel.
