Xiaomi is gearing up for the much-anticipated launch of the Redmi Note 13 5G series in India on January 4, featuring three variants – Redmi Note 13 5G, Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, and Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G. Ahead of the unveiling, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G Indian variant, identified by model number 2312DRA50I, has made an appearance on the Geekbench benchmark database.

The Geekbench listing spilled the beans on the Redmi Note 13 Pro’s key specifications, confirming the presence of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC. This is not a surprise since the brand recently announced that the Redmi Note 13 Pro Indian variant will be the world’s first Snapdragon 7s Gen 2-powered phone. Impressively, the smartphone secured 1030 points in the single-core benchmark and 2851 points in the multi-core test.

Surprisingly, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, as revealed in the listing, is set to debut in the Indian market featuring a 12GB memory configuration. However, it’s noteworthy that the device will come with an Android 13-based operating system, raising concerns as Android 14 has already been available for some time.

Adding to the disappointment is the realization that the software support for the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G will be comparatively shorter. For instance, if Xiaomi commits to a 3-year update cycle for this device, it will receive major updates up to Android 16 instead of potentially benefiting from Android 17 had it launched with an Android 14-based OS.

A recent leak has revealed that the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus is expected to carry a box price of Rs 32,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage configuration. More details are expected to be revealed as we get closer to January 4.
