Redmi launched the Note 13 series in China last week. The new lineup includes the vanilla Note 13, the higher-end Note 13 Pro, and the top-tier Note 13 Pro Plus. Like last year, these phones are expected to launch in the global market as well. While there’s no official confirmation, a reliable tipster claims Xiaomi plans to launch Note 13 Pro as a Poco-branded smartphone outside China.
Almost every Poco smartphone you see out there is a rebadged Redmi smartphone. This is true from the very first Poco F1 to the latest Poco F5. Kacper Skrzypek says the Redmi Note 13 Pro will also be rebranded as a Poco smartphone. However, they note the handset will launch with its original moniker as well.
It’s still unclear which Poco phone the Redmi Note 13 Pro will be rebranded as, but based on past trends, it’s likely to be a member of the Poco X series. This year’s Poco X5 Pro is essentially a rebadged Redmi Note 13 Pro Speed Edition, so it’s possible that the Note 13 Pro could be marketed as the Poco X6 Pro. However, it’s too early to say for sure, as we’re probably several months away from the official launch.
To remind you, the Redmi Note 13 Pro debuts as a solid mid-ranger from the brand. It brings a new 4nm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor. The handset has a flat 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout. It offers a 1.5K display resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 1,600 nits peak brightness.
The Note 13 Pro also brings a 200MP primary camera, a 5100mAh battery, and 67W charging support. It starts at CNY 1,499 ($205) in China for the base 8GB + 128GB storage variant.
