Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 512 GB / 12 GB

The most advanced smartphone in the Redmi series

Note 13 Pro Plus is the most advanced smartphone in the history of the Xiaomi Redmi sub-brand, which has a couple of interesting features that are more common for smartphones costing more than 20 thousand hryvnia. We are talking about a 200-megapixel camera with an optical stabilization system, a high-quality 120 Hz OLED screen with rounded edges, gaming hardware and a high-quality body with IP68 water resistance, as well as Gorilla Glass Victus protective glass.

Gaming smartphone with 200 megapixel camera

Xiaomi has created a really interesting smartphone at the intersection of the mid-class and premium segments, which can easily handle heavy games (thanks to the Dimensity 7200 Ultra processor, 12 GB of RAM and GameTurbo mode), looks modern, and impresses with the quality of the screen and charging time. The 120-watt charger can charge a smartphone from 0 to 100% in just 18 minutes. The triple camera is also on point, and the optical stabilization helps a lot in low light conditions or when shooting with long shutter speeds. If we compare the camera with market leaders, the photos, even in good lighting, lack detail, and graininess clearly appears in photos taken with the zoom.

Good, but not perfect

In terms of minuses, there is a shell that is familiar to Xiaomi, loaded with advertising and pre-installed software, as well as questions about quality, since even the company’s most expensive smartphones can begin to glitch and break down in a couple of years. Almost 17 thousand hryvnia is a considerable amount; sub-flagships of the Google Pixel, OnePlus, Motorola Edge level are usually located in this price segment. Add a couple thousand hryvnia on top and you can find an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S of previous generations.
