Redmi Note 13 Pro long-term review: Still not good enough


Xiaomi just doesn't do enough to justify the retail price of the Redmi Note 13 Pro.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ in particular stood out for its gorgeous design — it is still one of the best-looking mid-range phones — but the auxiliary cameras weren't worth the hassle, it missed out on 4K60 video, and most egregiously, it ran Android 13 out of the box. (Image credit: Apoorva Bhardwaj / Android Central)What I like the most about the Redmi Note 13 Pro is the display; it uses the same 6.67-inch panel as the Pro+ variant, goes up to 1,800 nits in HDR content, and the only difference is that it isn't curved. (Image credit: Apoorva Bhardwaj / Android Central)The rest of the hardware is similarly decent, with the phone offering Bluetooth 5.3, a good set of 5G bands, NFC, and an optical in-screen module that's unerringly accurate — if located a bit lower on the screen than I'd usually like.
