The Redmi Note 13 series is a premium mid-range device that you can already buy in Malaysia. There are four models offered which are Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G, Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 13 5G and Redmi Note 13. In this article I will share the interesting features I found on the Pro+ model during my trip in Bangkok with Xiaomi Malaysia.
Cheapest 200MP + OIS Camera?
Phones with 200MP cameras have been introduced for the past two years. Samsung is there, Xiaomi is there and realme is there. Recently, Xiaomi brought this camera support to Redmi. Not just a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP3 sensor, but also comes with OIS. This means that it helps in taking shake-free photos, taking night shots and manages to provide the zoom-in-sensor feature.
The camera app on the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G is also similar to the app on the Xiaomi 13T Pro or Xiaomi 13 Ultra, so it provides professional control on a more affordable device. 200MP details on the device and the colors produced, although not Leica – it has enough urna!.
Editing Features Like Expensive Fonts!
As I wandered around The Grand Palace, Bangkok, there were many interesting historical buildings. Here is the best location to test the Xiaomi ProCut feature, where it crops a 200MP image with various different ratios while keeping the subject in the center by preserving details and providing the best colors.
Not only that, the MIUI 14 Android 13 specific to the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G also offers access to AI features to add film filters or film frames to make photos look like they were taken with a vintage film camera. Other AI features are also provided such as an eraser that can remove objects in the background as already offered by Google with Magic Eraser or Samsung with Object Eraser.
Dolby Vision + Atmos = Immersive Entertainment
The price of this device starts from RM1599 for 8/256 GB. This is the best price and the best value for a device with a 200MP camera and IP68 protection. But if these two are not enough to determine the value that is worth it for you, the screen and speakers will definitely change your mind.
The device uses a 6.67″ curved AMOLED screen, offers an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz and supports Dolby Vision display. This makes the screen have sharp colors, very bright and pleasing to the eye. Atmos speakers are also supported on Netflix and Disney+ Hotstar for a more immersive experience.
Luxury Design At Cheap Price
This device also uses a luxurious design. On the front it looks premium with a curved screen with a resolution of 1.5K, the body is designed so thin that it feels good in the hand and is easy to handle. The back panel also looks elegant and neat with two-tone colors, the camera part does not have a giant bump but has a grid pattern and can be used as a mirror for the camera viewfinder.
Redmi also provides a better quality silicone protective frame because it is thicker, dull black in color and comfortable in the hand. Unlike normal silicone frames that are transparent and smooth. Redmi Note 13 Pro+ also comes with IP68 for waterproof and dustproof protection.
Fast Charging Always Appreciated
It's worth the price, premium design, attractive camera, solid screen, thin design, but can still fit a 5000mAh battery with 120W HyperCharge fast charging support. On the Redmi Note 13 Pro+, it can be charged from 0% to 100% in just 19 minutes.
But for the health of the battery for the future, this fast charging mode is turned off by default and you need to activate Boost charging speed to enjoy it. Also a feature that I should be thankful for because it's not every day that I want my device to charge at an ultra-fast rate.
Usually for Redmi devices, after I'm done testing and reviewing, I'll keep it and replace it with a flagship Android device anyway. This time, even though I have returned to Malaysia from Bangkok for the launch of this device and the finished review article and video – the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G is still in my pocket. With prices starting at RM1,599 – competitors like realme or vivo will surely choke!
