I've been using the Redmi Note 13 (6GB/128) for about 6 months as well. Bought it in February. It's been pretty good for the most part. Great battery life and I love the 33W fast charging.
No, the performance has remained as good as when I first got it, but I'm not the heaviest user - I don't have too much apps installed on my phone. I watch a ton of TH-cam videos, use Spotify & TH-cam Music for music and podcasts, use WPS Office for spreadsheets for my business, take a lot of notes with Keep Notes, browse a lot using Brave browser, WhatsApp, IG and Twitter - medium use. You kinda get the point, right? I'm basically on it all day like the average smartphone user and it has performed great since the first day - I'm not a gamer.
i want to buy this phone but i have two questions first thing is does it has enlarge folder choice? and the second one is will 6 Gb ram be good for hyperOs or it will not work smoothly ?@@EugosonQuorch
Been using my redmi since Feb, 7 months of usage now all i can say is the phone is very strong nd durable, it been falling from heights nd yet it still remains intact with no cracks. Only downside of the phone is that the Ram management is bad
To the pupils that had battery drain issue, the SD card was causing the issue since android is constantly checking for new media on your sd card (for some reason) so it is best to unmount it if you don't use it or barely use it.
The phone seems like a very good all rounder in it's price range. I just don't like hyper Os notification panel, among other things. I guess at the end of the day it's dependent on your budget.
Does xiaomi still strong arm you into using their system launcher if you want access to gesture navigation? cause my old note 8 died, and i need a replacement but I really don't want to get it if its still forcing you to use the system launcher which is a big battery drain and background data collecting killing your battery.
Yhhh this issue you just talked about is still very present till today(you are very much limited on the budget segment), for me I use custom ROMs and it blows away the stock rom bottlenecks in every way, even down to performance..(currently using Note 11 though, but I can tell for free that the SD 665 in your note 8, and the sd 685, 680, 662 are basically almost on par in performance, the difference only comes in because of the slightly higher clock speed, the newer ufs 2.2 and other minimal optimizations)
Get the Redmi 13. I have owned all those Samsung devices from A12 to A24 but they are not bright enough in direct sunlight. Redmi Note 13 gives similar performance but with a better display. That's what makes it better!
Are there any other phones you guys suggest with this price range (and preferrably better specs/feats if possible)? I'm not really a tech guy and I'm planning to buy a new phone before this year ends so any suggestions will help. Thanks.
I have bought the redmi note 13 (8/256) it's fast enough but i haven't updated it but after watching this i really wanna update the hyperos though really helpful
Been using the redemi note 13 pro plus with 120 watts charging...it just to good i only hope the xiaomi brings some new and powerful processes fir this series especially snapdragon 😅
I got this phone. It's really nice BUT its missing the Magazine lock style "theme". It's limited to Classic & Rhombus. Is it intentional? The magazine style is amazing. Why are we missing out😭
I've got the same phone this is pretty worth the money I paid, Design is amazing with thin bessels and punch hole front camera. my only complaints with the video resolution and built-in 3rd part apps. At least it should be 1080 60 fps😢
Man I am asking the same thing I got redmi note 13 it's working really good but I don't know why there are no animations like other older devices and the magazine lock screen is missing too is it supposed to get another update in the future ???
May I ask, is it really normal for the first days or week of my phone to drain battery percentage quite fast? After I charge my phone, few minutes later it will drain 1 battery % for about a total of 2-3. I am in 60hz refresh rate, low brightness, nothing running on the background. It drains like 1% for every 6-8 minutes when in use, just TH-cam btw. Again, with 60hz and low brightness haha.
Thank you for the insightful content. Well done. I use Redmi Note 12 4G, and I've gotten the HyperOS Update but yet to download it. I've heard rumours that HyperOS is not so good for my phone. Could you kindly relate your experience if you've updated your Redmi Note 12 4g?
The new operating system takes up less space and at the same time offers some significant advantages to the phones. They run more efficiently, get more efficient file storage and use less power. Of course, this is good news for users who own one of the below Xiaomi devices that will get the updated operating system.

REDMI 13C 4GB/128GB IS THIS A BAD PHONE? I HAD SEVERAL ISSUES(WORST WAS internet speed that took me 3days to fix,so today it is ok but still slower vs my other 2 older xiaomi phones) i also have xiaomi redmi note 7 Best so far of the 3 models i own redmi 10 (battery has swollen so thats why i got a 13c version) So anyone that has used xiaomi for many years what do u think about this phone? also my question is if i should have gotten a MOTOROLA phone instead?? dont remember exactly what it was,But it had 8gb/256gb ram/memory is 200% bigger for same price(even a bit less) so why the Motorola phones in stores where i live is cheaper if i look at this is a thing i dont understand either(has it bad cameras or something compared to xiaomis cheaper phones?) Best brand for the usage i need it.. Tethering internet w loading cable from phone to usb pc (only way to get internet) calls sms downloads some surfing and paying bills+swish This is only stuff i use it for so is there a better choice vs xiaomi nowadays?? i have used xiaomis cheaper phones ever since the HUAWEI phones got banned where i live(dont 100% sure why though) But loved the ones i had back then years now. Also Motrola vs xiaomi and other manufactured phones in budget class??? Is Xiaomi the best to buy in 2024 ...It was a few years back when i got the redmi 7 phone(much cheaper n way more powerfull vs others at same price,but thats many years since that was a fact!) Thanks
I think the 108mp camera is just xiaomi bating us. Their android customization is still unpleasant when it comes to bloat and lack of updates. This is the only thing that sells me the A15 over the Redmi 13

You bring the MKBHD style to budget phones. I'll hopefully get this phone by December
Note 14 will be out by then

Yeah, I'll definitely advice you wait for Note 14. Hopefully there'll be a change in processor and that'll make the phone even more worth it.

To the pupils that had battery drain issue, the SD card was causing the issue since android is constantly checking for new media on your sd card (for some reason) so it is best to unmount it if you don't use it or barely use it.

Nice review! Careful with the Hyper OS though... apparently it won't allow custom roms.
In Pakistan the prices dropped. The 8/256 variant was around 60,000 Rupees. Now it’s 48,500 Rupees.
Now it's 44,000 RS but the phone is still not worth it because of the terrible snapdragon 685 processor.
@excalibur2596 True that. This processor is not good.
Good for normal use. For gaming poco m6pro is much better
