Nothing just announced the new CMF Phone 1 with a customizable back panel. But taking away its unique design elements, its hardware and pricing show that it is a mid-range smartphone. So if you’re not into the design but want a smartphone similar in terms of specs and price, what are some good alternatives? Here’s a short list of other devices you can check out.

Vivo T3

Starting off the list, we have the Vivo T3, which is also a rebranded iQOO Z9. In terms of specs, the Vivo T3 and CMF Phone 1 are quite similar. Both models sport a 6.67-inch OLED display on the front, while the rear packs a 50-megapixel primary and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The only main difference between the two is the processor. MediaTek chips power the CMF Phone 1 and the Vivo T3, but you get a newer Dimensity 7300 chip on the former.

Meanwhile, the Vivo T3 is equipped with the Dimensity 7200 SoC. Although, there isn’t a massive difference in terms of performance and benchmarks have shown comparable results as well. Pricing is another aspect that has slight differences. CMF’s first ever phone starts from 15,999 INR, and the Vivo T3 goes for 18,999 INR. However, it is worth noting that the Phone 1 doesn’t ship with a charger and the T3 offers faster 44W wired fast charging (33W on the CMF Phone 1).

OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite

At this price range, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite is another popular option. The display and camera once again match the CMF Phone 1. However, an aging Snapdragon 695 SoC powers this device. Buyers do get a larger 5,500mAh battery pack (5,000mAh on the Phone 1) and a faster 80W wired fast charging. CMF is still more affordable here, as the Nord CE 4 Lite costs 19,999 INR for its base variant. Bank offers do bring the price down, which makes it a decent alternative to the CMF Phone 1.

POCO X6

Back in January 2024, the POCO X6 was announced in the Indian market and it is currently on sale for a discounted price tag. It was originally announced for a starting price of 21,999 INR but it is now on sale for 17,999 INR. This still makes it more expensive than the CMF Phone 1. Although, both of its storage configuration offers 256GB of storage (paired with 8GB or 12GB).

Under the hood, it is equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, which offers similar performance (at least on benchmarks). For optics, you get a 64-megapixel triple camera setup on the rear. The display is a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel like the CMF Phone 1. It also has a marginally larger 5,100mAh battery pack and 67W wired fast charging.

Redmi Note 13

We have another smartphone from Xiaomi on this list. The Redmi Note 13 was also announced a couple of months back and is currently on sale for a lowered price. With a starting price tag of 16,999 INR, it is priced the closest to the CMF Phone 1. You still get a 6.67-inch AMOLED display on the front and a 108-megapixel on the rear.

Under the hood, it is powered by the MediaTek Diemsnity 6080 SoC. The battery and charging rate is also identical to the Phone 1. Other notable features include microSDXC for storage expansion, Bluetooth 5.3, and IP54 water and dust resistance.

Xiaomi has rolled out a major update for its popular Redmi Note 13 series in India. Previously running on MIUI, the Redmi Note 13, Redmi Note 13 Pro, and Redmi Note 13 Pro+ can now benefit from the all-new HyperOS. 

The update brings a significant performance boost, a revamped interface, and a host of new features designed to enhance the user experience. Let’s go through the details here.

Redmi Note 13 Series HyperOS Update India

HyperOS update on the Redmi Note 13 series brings “Comprehensive Refactoring,” a technology that optimizes task scheduling and distributes workloads across the phone’s various processing units. 

It should lead to smoother performance, particularly in demanding tasks like gaming. The update also claims to improve power consumption during gameplay.

Moreover, HyperOS emphasizes security with “End-to-End Security” measures to protect user data and privacy. It also brings various interface enhancements to enhance usability.

For instance, there’s a customizable lock screen with different styles, backgrounds, and widgets. The control center now features a label-free layout for easier access to essential functions.

Moreover, for photography enthusiasts, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G has received a camera upgrade with the new OS update. However, Xiaomi hasn’t provided specific details about these improvements or whether they apply only to the Pro Plus model.

HyperOS also introduces new app icons and animations inspired by Xiaomi’s new “ALIVE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY” design philosophy. The animations are now lighter and more responsive, according to Xiaomi. 

The File Manager app has also been redesigned with better categorization options for improved organization and file management. Weather information is now presented with new animations that accurately reflect current conditions.

Apart from these features, Xiaomi notes that additional optimizations have been made to the underlying software stack of the Redmi Note 13 5G series. 

The rollout of HyperOS to the Redmi Note 13 5G series is likely staged, so it may take some time for all users to receive the update.

Recently, Poco X6 Neo was released in India. It is the most affordable model in the X6 series with a starting price of ₹15,999.

The device is almost identical to Redmi Note 13 with one notable difference. This single change and the online-only availability make it cheaper than Redmi’s ₹17,999 starting price.

So the question arises which one should you opt for? We try to answer this in this post.

How is Poco X6 Neo different from Redmi Note 13?

The Poco X6 Neo features a downgraded camera system. It has only two rear cameras instead of three, unlike the Redmi Note 13.

The missing camera on it is the useful 8MP ultrawide unit. While the remaining three cameras are the same, which are a 108MP primary sensor with 3x in-sensor zoom support. a 2MP depth sensor, and a 16MP front-facing snapper.

Additionally, the base variant of the Poco phone arrives with 8GB RAM as compared to 6GB RAM on the Redmi handset.

 Here’s how much these products cost.

• Poco X6 Neo
  • 8GB + 128GB – ₹15,999
  • 12GB + 256GB – ₹17,999
• Redmi Note 13
  • 6GB + 128GB – ₹17,999
  • 8GB + 256GB – ₹19,999
  • 12GB + 512GB – ₹21,999

Should you buy Poco X6 Neo or Redmi Note 13?

If you use ultrawide camera on a regular basis, Redmi Note 13 is the pick for you as this camera is not available on Poco X6 Neo.

Otherwise, Poco X6 Neo is a better option as all other features are identical on the two smartphones. Most importantly, it is ₹2,000 cheaper.

However, there’s one caveat. The X6 Neo like other Poco products is sold exclusively via Flipkart. Thus, financing options are limited as well.

On the other hand, Redmi Note 13 is a multi-channel device. It can be purchased from Amazon, Mi.com, Xiaomi Home stores, and retail stores across India. Therefore, you get lots of financing options to choose from if you cannot afford the phone upfront.

The Redmi Note 13 5G series made its debut in India in early January.  The lineup consists of three models ranging across different price segments.

Within a few days from its release, the series generated ₹1,000 crores in revenue. A month later, the company now announces that the revenue from the said smartphones has doubled.

Earlier today, Xiaomi revealed that the Redmi Note 13 5G series crossed ₹2,000 crores in revenue in a month. This is quite an achievement for a brand that has been losing market share in the country.

However, unlike previous years, the company does not mention the number of units sold. The numbers should be comparatively low given the current smartphone market scenario.

So how come the revenue is high? The answer to this is the pricing of the newer Redmi Notes.

Xiaomi bumped the price of the Redimi Note phones by incorporating a select few premium features.

The base Redmi Note 13 5G starts at ₹17,999 instead of ₹9,999 as it used to a few years back. On the other end of the spectrum, the top-end Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus retails as high as ₹35,999.

Due to increased pricing and à la carte features from mid-range as well as premium categories, the Redmi Note series is no longer a default recommendation. The devices are still good but they have lost their uniqueness and charm.

Despite all these, Xiaomi managed to clock in crores of revenue in a month. This sort of proves that Indian consumers still trust the ‘Redmi Note’ brand due to its legacy.

Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 13 Pro series, launched in September, has become a runaway success in China. Redmi Mobile recently announced that national sales of the Redmi Note 13 series have surpassed 3.2 million units. 

Additionally, Xiaomi states it has received an overwhelmingly positive response for the Redmi Note 13 series on JD.com, China’s major e-commerce platform, where the satisfaction rate has consistently stayed above 98%.

In contrast to the global market, where the Redmi Note 13 series includes a mix of both 4G and 5G models, in China, Xiaomi launched the series exclusively with 5G capabilities. The Chinese lineup features three models: the Redmi Note 13 5G, Note 13 Pro 5G, and Note 13 Pro+ 5G.

Redmi Note 13 5G is the most affordable option of the three, starting at CNY 1,199 for the 6 GB + 128 GB model.

The device has a 108MP dual camera setup on the back and gets its juice via a 5000mAh battery. For charging you get a 33W adapter inside the box.

Then we have the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G with a 200MP main camera and a long-lasting 5,100mAh battery with 67W fast charging. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor delivers reliable performance, making it a good choice for multitasking and gaming. The Note 13 Pro 5G starts at CNY 1,499 for 8 GB + 128 GB in China.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G is the flagship of the three, boasting a premium curved AMOLED display, a versatile 200MP main camera with 4x optical zoom, and a speedy MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra processor. It gets its fuel via a 5000mAh battery with 120W fast charging support to ensure it’s quickly back in action. The Note 13 Pro+ starts at CNY 1,999  for the 12 GB + 256 GB in China.

Xiaomi is holding its first global launch event on January 4. It will take place in India and the company has confirmed to debut the Redmi Note 13 series.

For the last few days, the firm has been gradually revealing the devices that will be unveiled. At the same time, it has been also teasing their features.

Today, the company has disclosed the third and probably the last phone to launch at the event.

Xiaomi will launch the Redmi Note 13 5G in India on January 4. It will be presented alongside the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G and Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G.

The teaser poster shared by the firm confirms that the international version of Redmi Note 13 5G will be slightly different from the Chinese variant. It will feature three rear cameras instead of two as revealed by renders earlier.

As per a recent leak, the triple camera system will consist of a 108MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide unit, and a 2MP macro snapper. For comparison, the Chinese model lacks the ultrawide cameras and sports a 2MP depth sensor instead of the macro shooter.

The rest of the specs will be the same. The global variant will flaunt a 6.67-inch centered punch-hole FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display. It will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6080 chip paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.

The IP54-rated phone will come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a MicroSD card slot. It will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W charging.

Last but not least, the handset will boot Android 13-based MIIU 14. It might get three Android updates and four years of security updates.

The post Top Tech News From Last Week: Redmi Note 13 series, Phantom V Flip, Honor V Purse & More appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Redmi Note 13 series recently made its debut in China. These phones are expected to be released in global markets under Redmi and Poco brands across different markets.

According to new findings, one of them could be slightly different and be sold as Poco X6 5G. Let’s check out everything that’s known about this device.

According to Xiaomiui, a Poco-branded smartphone with model numbers 2312DRAF3G (Global) and 2312DRAF3I (India) is listed in the IMEI database. As per the first four digits of model numbers, it will be launched in December or later.

This handset is codenamed iron_p and could be called Poco X6 5G. It will be almost identical to the Redmi Note 13, which is codenamed gold.

MIUI code suggests that this so-called Poco X6 5G will sport a 64MP primary camera instead of a 108MP shooter found on the Redmi Note 13. This makes the Poco device the same as the Redmi Note 13R Pro that leaked recently.

So based on the details available so far, the Redmi Note 13 with a 64MP camera will be sold as Redmi Note 13R Pro in China. While in international markets, it could be known by Poco X6 5G with some cosmetic changes.

The Poco X6 5G is expected to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 6080 chip, a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED display, a 5,000mAh battery, and 33W charging support.

Two days ago, we collected some questions from our fans about their Redmi Note 13 series. After my hands-on experience in the Xiaomi Store yesterday, I think I can now answer those questions. This article is not just an Unboxing or Hands-on but also a Q&A about the Note 13 series. Before I answer those questions, let me unbox it first.

Unboxing

Most base card pins and manuals haven’t changed in any way, we’re all used to that. But the phone case has turned into a black silicone material this time. It feels much better than the previous transparent case and it doesn’t turn yellow due to oxidation. I hope all Redmi phones will come with this case in the future.

The charger and charging cable are also pretty ordinary. Without further ado, let’s get right to the questions.

Q&A

A: Let’s start with the Pro+ version, where the most basic upgrades are of course the primary camera and the processor. But apart from these two basic upgrades, there are some very pretty or useful upgrade points, such as a better-looking curved screen, with a small curved area.

The protective glass is also Corning Victus and it works even if your fingers are wet. Most importantly, it’s IP68 certified. This makes the Ace 2 Pro, which also has this feature but doesn’t have IP68 and is more expensive, a little bit embarrassing. The display resolution and maximum brightness have also been upgraded, and the screen fingerprint has been switched from the side to the under-screen. In short, it’s just as good as the one on the Redmi K60 Ultra.

Although it’s a curved screen, the bezel is partially flat though. This makes it look and feel very much like the Xiaomi 13 Ultra from the front. It’s really hard to believe that a $260 phone can be so premium.

As for the Redmi Note 13 Pro, it’s not as impressive. The processor has been upgraded to a 4nm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, and the screen has been upgraded to the same panel and protective glass as the Pro+. The back cover has been switched from plastic to glass, also with under-screen fingerprint recognition. The specs are also excellent, though the design is significantly weaker than that of the Pro+.

A: Well, I’ll answer the first question later, let me answer the second and third first.

The most obvious difference between the two versions is the look. I didn’t get that color-blocked vegan leather version, but I’m sure you can get a sense of how good it looks by viewing the pictures. That white version is also very nice, and if you hate vegan leather, this colorway is a good choice.

The Pro version, on the other hand, is obviously a much-blanded design, and only that new color looks better. And no vegan leather version.

The second difference is the processor, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is the Dimensity 7200-Ultra and the Pro version is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. Both are first-time available on the phone. We will go in-depth about it later. The third difference is in the charging power. Like the Note 12 series, the Pro+ is still 120W and the Pro version is still only 67W, but the battery of the Pro version is slightly bigger.

The third question is really hard to answer. As I just said, the Pro+ has IP68 and Corning Victus glass, which should make it more durable than other phones. The Pro version doesn’t have IP68 certification though. So if you want to use it for 3 years or more, the Pro+ version would be a better choice I think.

A: I installed Antutu on the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus. the scores as you can see are just average for a mid-range phone. But the Dimensity 7200-Ultra on the Pro+ is about 46% better compared to the Note 12 Pro+, which is arguably a huge improvement.

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 in the Pro doesn’t look so good though. This processor doesn’t have much to do with the 7+ Gen 2, it’s more of an upgrade from the 778G. Since it is manufactured in 4 nm at Samsung, don’t expect too much performance from it.

A: Thanks to the better processor used in the Pro+, it does support 4K EIS. We didn’t get our hands on the Redmi Note 13 Pro, but based on the performance of the processor, the odds are that the Pro version doesn’t support EIS for 4K recording.

A: We’ve just talked about performance, so let’s talk about the camera. 200MP photos are actually pretty good overall, except for a little bit of a reduction in dynamic range. I don’t think it’s the quality of the photos that stops people from taking photos in 200MP mode though, it’s the size of the photos. 200MP photos are 15 times the size of a 12MP photo, and that’s pretty terrifying. So for the most part, the 200 MP mode photos remain a gimmick. This high-megapixel sensor only shows its strengths when zooming.

The main camera is good enough, in fact, what really disappoints me is this perpetual 8 MP Ultra-wide camera and 2 MP Macro camera.

A: I don’t know. I really don’t know. Even if I know the answer, it’s a trade secret. Some media leaked Xiaomi’s new phone before and compensated Xiaomi a million RMB, I don’t want to be that person. Moreover, I really don’t know.

A: There are no bad phones, only bad prices. No doubt the price makes them very, very good phones. I’d recommend you guys get the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus more. Aside from the fact that the Pro+ version is even better in every way, there’s another reason that the processor upgrade on the Pro version is so small.

This year’s Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has gotten more beautiful, more powerful, and more durable. As long as you’re not a heavy gamer, you can’t go wrong buying it. At least you can’t get a better phone for the same price.

The listing didn’t reveal anything, but by decoding the model numbers we found that the smartphones are slated for launch by the end of this year. Some users are expecting the Redmi Note 13 to bit early to compensate for the insignificant sales by its predecessor in the ongoing fiscal year. Surprisingly, the new series is launching in China on September 21. However, nothing is official about the two models, so we suggest taking these with a grain of salt in the ocean.

Redmi Note 13 Series Specs

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi recently confirmed that it would be launching the next-generation Redmi Note 13 series later this week. The company has also confirmed the presence of three models in the series – Redmi Note 13 Pro, Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus, and Redmi Note 13 Yibo Edition. However, the company has been silent about the vanilla Redmi Note 13 which may be announced at a later date.

Chinese tech blogger Digital Chat Station has shared further details of the Redmi Note 13 series. The tipster confirmed that the models will be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. The new chipset will be built on Samsung 4nm silicon and features four large cores with a clock frequency of 2.4GHz as well as four energy-efficient cores clocked at 1.95GHz each. The chip is also equipped with an X62 modem and FastConnect 6700 connection system, as well as three 12-bit ISPs that support up to 200 MP shooting. The Octa-core chipset also pairs with an Adreno GPU.

The entire Redmi Note 13 series will also have an eye-protecting flexible screen without plastic brackets.

The Redmi Note series is one of the most popular smartphone lineups worldwide. Earlier this month, the next-gen Redmi Notes were confirmed to debut soon. A few days back, the brand revealed that the launch is happening this week.

Apart from disclosing the launch date, Redmi has also been teasing the features of its upcoming phones. Other than official teasers, we have been learning about these devices from other sources, such as leaks and certifications.

Here in this article, we have compiled everything that’s known about the forthcoming Redmi Note 13 series in one place. Let’s go through the details.

Redmi Note 13 Series Launch Date

The Redmi Note 13 series is scheduled to launch in China on September 21. It will be announced at a conference that will begin at 7 PM GMT+8.

Officially, Redmi has confirmed three devices, namely Redmi Note 13 Pro, Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus, and Redmi Note 13 Yibo Edition. However, we are expecting the vanilla Redmi Note 13 as well, even though the information regarding it is bleak.

Either way, if you are interested in watching the event, it will be live-streamed on Weibo and other leading Chinese video streaming platforms.

Redmi Note 13 Series Design

The Redmi Note 13 series will arrive with a different design compared to the Redmi Note 12 lineup. The new design will not be totally different as the similarity between the previous-gen design will be there.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro will retain the glass sandwich build with a flat frame. However, the camera island will be inspired by the Xiaomi 13 series but with protruding modules.

On the other hand, the camera placement on the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus will be similar to the Redmi Note 12 Turbo. But it will have a curved display and a faux leather back. The Redmi Note 13 Yibo will likely be based on it with some variations in terms of color and pattern.

Unfortunately, we have no details on the design of the Redmi Note 13.

Redmi Note 13 Series Specifications

The Redmi Note 13 Pro and the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus will flaunt 1.5K OLED displays. This makes them the first Redmi Notes to sport a screen with more than FHD+ resolution. Also, they will be the first Redmi Notes to come with an in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Additionally, the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus will be the first Redmi Note to feature a curved display. Its screen will offer 1800 nits peak brightness level,1920Hz PWM dimming, and DC dimming. In other words, these handsets will arrive with multiple firsts in the display department.

Further, Redmi has officially confirmed the chips powering these phones. The MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra and Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 will be present inside the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus and Redmi Note 13 Pro, respectively.

Both Pro models will sport a custom version of the 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP3 Discovery Edition sensor. However, for some reason, only the Pro Plus version will have OIS (Optical Image Stabilization).

As for energy, the Redmi Note 13 Pro will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 67W charging. While the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus will house a 5,120mAh battery with 120W charging support.

Since the Redmi Note 13 Yibo is expected to be based on the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus, it will have the same specs as the latter. Whereas, we don’t have any info on the Redmi Note 13.

Redmi Note 13 Series Expected Price

The Redmi Note 13 series may start around ¥1,200 (~$165) for the vanilla model. While the Pro and Pro Plus variants could begin at ¥1,700 (~$235) and ¥2,200 (~$300), respectively.

These prices are based on the launch pricing of the Redmi Note 12 series from 2022. So they may not be accurate as the new-gen models will come with many upgrades.

Since Xiaomi is known for disruptive pricing, especially in China we wouldn’t be surprised if the Redmi Note 13 series cost about the same as the Redmi Note 12 series or just a little more.

Redmi has officially announced that it will announce the Redmi Note 13 series in China this month. The brand’s newest poster highlights the key features of the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G in particular. It also reveals that the Note 13 series will be a collaborative effort between Redmi, Samsung, and MediaTek.

Redmi Note 13 Pro+ key features

The Redmi Note 13 series is said to include at least three models, such as the Note 13, Note 13 Pro, and the Note 13 Pro+. The poster specifically talks about the key features of the Pro+. As per the poster, the primary camera model used in the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ will be a custom version of the 200-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL HP3 Discovery Edition camera sensor, featuring a substantial 1/1.4-inch sensor size.

It is poised to be the fastest 200-megapixel ultra-clear camera in the industry. As per reports, the Note 13 Pro may also feature a 200-megapixel camera. Lu Weibeing, Redmi’s General Manager, emphasized that this series will, once again, push the limits of imaging capabilities for affordable smartphones, marking a substantial leap in image quality standards within the mobile phone industry.

To achieve this, Redmi has worked closely with MediaTek, conducting thorough joint optimizations to revamp the foundational imaging architecture and enhance both software and hardware capabilities. Furthermore, by integrating Xiaomi’s imaging technologies, such as “bionic perception” and “fusion optics” modules, the Note 13 lineup is all set to offer a top-notch photography experience.

The above poster also confirms that the Note 13 Pro+ will also be the first device to come equipped with the newly announced 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7200-Ultra. As per the reports, the D7200U has an eight-core CPU architecture, which comprises 2 x Cortex-A715 cores running at a clock speed of 2.8 GHz, along with 6 x Cortex-A510 cores. Additionally, it integrates the Arm Mali-G610 GPU and the power-efficient AI processor APU 650.

The post Redmi Note 13 series to include 5 models, details leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi‘s new Note 13 series models have begun to surface online, with multiple appearances on various certification sites. The Note 13 series is expected to launch sometime this winter. While we eagerly await the official release, both the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro models have recently surfaced on TENAA. This Chinese authority has unveiled the key specifications of these upcoming phones.

The forthcoming Redmi Note 13 Pro and Pro+ smartphones have received certification from the Telecommunication Equipment Certification Administration (TENAA) in China. The two phones have model numbers 23090RA98C and 2312DRA50C. However, it is not yet known which model number corresponds to which phone.

Both smartphones have 5G connectivity and the same size measuring 161 x 74 mm. Xiaomi includes 6.67-inch OLED displays with 2,712 x 1,220 pixels resolution on the two phones. If previous rumors are to be believed, the handsets will offer a 144Hz refresh rate. TENAA suggests the upcoming Redmi Note 13 series phones will be equipped with two different processors with clock speeds of 2.4GHz and 2.8GHz. They might be equipped with Dimensity 9200 Plus.

The Note 13 Pro is said to be offered in 6GB, 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB of RAM, as well as storage options of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and a whopping 1TB. The handset might weigh in at 187 grams. Powering the smartphone could be a 5160mAh (typical) rated battery.

In contrast, the Note 13 Pro+ could also be available with a staggering 18GB of RAM, alongside storage choices of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. The Pro+ variant will likely be supported by a 5000mAh (typical) rated battery. Both smartphones could feature a triple rear camera setup, headlined by a mighty 200MP primary sensor. This primary sensor might be complemented by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro lens.

Judging by the specifications, the phones should offer good bounce for the ounce. However, it’s wise to take these preliminary specifications with a pinch of salt.

The post Alleged Redmi Note 13 Pro and Note 13 Pro+ key specifications leaked via TENAA appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi has just launched the Redmi K60 Ultra and Redmi 12 5G smartphones in China. The brand is expected to announce the Redmi K70e, Redmi K70, and Redmi K70 Pro in December this year in the home market. In between, most likely in October, the company may announce the Redmi Note 13 series of smartphones. In a recent post on X.com, tipster Kacper Skrzypek revealed the key specifications of an alleged Redmi Note 13 series phone.

Redmi Note 13 series phone’s leaked specifications

Without mentioning the name of the device, the tipster claimed that one of the possible Redmi Note 13 series phones will come equipped with a 200-megapixel Samsung HP3 primary camera, which will be joined by a Sony IMX355 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and an OmniVision OV2B10 2-megapixel macro / depth camera. The tipster said that the device will feature an OmniVision OV16A1Q 16-megapixel front-facing camera.

He added that the device is powered by a MediaTek chip. He even went as far as to claim that it could be the same chip that powers the recently announced Redmi K60 Ultra. For those who don’t know, the K60 Ultra features the Dimensity 9200 Plus, which is as powerful as or even slightly better than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. He added that the device will be released on the global market.

The inclusion of a 200-megapixel camera makes it an ideal candidate to be considered as a successor to the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ or the Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition. Redmi has recently launched the K60 Ultra with D9200+ and is unlikely to launch another phone with the same chip. Hence, it appears that the mysterious Note 13 series could be equipped with a different MediaTek chip. It is advisable to wait for further reports to know its final marketing name.

We are now half past 2023 and it’s about time for the Redmi Note 13 series leaks. The new mid-range lineup should launch sometime later this year in China and reports suggest it will run MIUI 15 out of the box. While the details about the series are still pretty short, a Redmi Note 13 smartphone has been spotted on the EEC certification site alongside a mysterious Redmi phone. Here are the details.

Redmi Note 13 will launch later this year

The Tech Outlook has spotted a Redmi smartphone with model number 2312DRAABG on the EEC certification website. Previous IMEI listing suggests this model number belongs to a Redmi Note 13 series smartphone. However, it’s not clear if it’s the vanilla model or one of the Pro phones. The outlet has also discovered an unknown Redmi phone on EEC with model number 23090RA98G. Could it be another Note 13 series phone? It’s possible but we would have to wait for more details.

As usual, the certification listing did not reveal anything interesting apart from the model numbers of the two phones. The leaks about the Note 13 lineup have just started to pick up and we hope to see bigger developments in the days to come.

So far, it is known that Redmi Note 13 phones will run MIUI 15. The custom skin could either be based on Android 13 or Android 14. Reports also claim that the upcoming phones will get a 6.7-inch centered punch-hole OLED display. The panels on the smartphones are said to lack plastic brackets like premium smartphones and offer minimal bezels on all four sides.

Currently, there’s no news about the launch date of the phones. A Chinese tipster hinted at a launch sometime in the half of this year.

The post Redmi Note 13 spotted on the EEC website with another Redmi phone appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi Note is Xiaomi’s most popular smartphone lineup. The series has evolved a lot in the past few generations. In fact, it now falls under the mid-range segment rather than budget.

Though they are now almost double the price of their predecessors, they come with features to match their pricing. These phones are now said to get even better, as per a reliable leaker.

According to Digital Chat Station, the next-gen Redmi Note lineup will be released in the second half of 2023. Though he doesn’t mention the name, it will likely be called Redmi Note 13.

He says that these upcoming Redmi Notes will arrive with a 6.7-inch centered punch-hole flat OLED display. The flexible panel will lack plastic brackets like premium smartphones and will have minimal bezels on all four sides.

Going by the description, the Redmi Note 13 series will retain the excellent display from Redmi Note 12 Turbo, which goes by Poco F5 outside mainland China. For the unaware, this handset probably has the least display bezels on a mid-range smartphone right now.

Unfortunately, that’s all the information Digital Chat Station has shared so far. We expect him to reveal more details in the coming days.

The Redmi Note 12 series was launched in China in late October. Hence, the forthcoming Redmi Note 13 series may also debut at around the same time. It might go official in international markets in early 2024.
