Have to disagree about being no better than the note 12. I've just bought both for relatives and the 13 is definitely superior! Twin speakers with Dolby atmos, 6GB of ram instead of 4, brighter screen with more accurate colours,(the 12's colours are rather dull) better camera and slimmer bezels that make it look much better. It also has in screen finger print sensor which is much faster. This phone also gets three OS updates and four years of security patches. The phone is also faster and snappier than the 12 probably due to increased ram! Plus no adds in xiaomi apps! I got both phones from xiaomi direct and the 13 was only £5 more than the 12 at £124 delivered! All in all a much better phone!
Agree. I got this phone for £90/$115 yesterday for my mom and can't wait for it to be delivered. I own the Note 13 Pro 5G and am very happy with this phone so far.
@@LR-vw8yuaccording to some online articles the Note 13 series got 3 OS upgrades, Note 13 series was lauched w/ android 13 which means it's upgradable up to Android 16.
I was seriously considering buying this phone, but decided to buy the Samsung galaxy A15 mainly because of the chipset. Soc is more important than design in my opinion
I watched it on my redmi note 13 and i can say the phone is good for normal things like social media, TH-cam, browsing and others. The display is amazing, 120 hz is good for that price. I know the processor is not mid range, but for normal usage is pretty snappy.
The audio jack on my phone does not fit the regular 3.5mm jack. It just is a little bit short. Is it my device manufacturing fault? Or is there a specific jack that fits? 3:29
Where did you get your spec? Xiaomi's own website says it's a Snapdragon 685 - and GSMARENA as well. Also the third rear camera sensor is a macro camera - not a depth sensor. So what's the story dude?
What you said about the Samsung speaker and that of this phone is misleading! This phone has two speakers, giving you the option to hear stereo playback. Unfortunately, the Samsung Galaxy A15 has one speaker only.

We all tend to prefer Redmi phones more, (or we used to) because they offer unbeatable specs for the price, but we get crappy software in return, which makes all them features and hardware fade away, while Samsung offering the best software experience for the money, now offering full OneUi version even on budget devices, that is something to consider, software is as important as the hardware.

yeah yeah good and all, but has anyone that's used this phone for a while(more than a month) still recommend this phone? I've seen people say it over heats, it keeps locking for certain places in the world, and it starts to go downhill ... can someone who's had this say otherwise?
Hey, so I haven't really used this phone for more than 2 weeks in a while, but I recently took out the Note 12 from last year (just to refresh my memory before making this video). I used it for a week, and it worked pretty well. Not sure if that helps, but I also didn't use that device for more than 2 months total last year.
I wanted to go for a Moto G54 8GB RAM 256 ROM but ended up getting this for around 180$ in a offer, good phone, mostly for people that are still in that 4gb/64-128 realm of phones
Had the phone and it's a great package let down by a few things. The main issue is the camera. Even the 108mp produces soft images lacking detail when cropping in. The in display fingerprint reader seems less intuitive than a side mounted reader. The flat edge design isn't as comfortable in the hand as a curved rear, and the phone wobbles on flat surfaces due to an offset protruding camera array.
Dosent even have 4k video recording or 1080p 60fps (4k or 1080p 60fps exists is flagship phone for more than 10 years but reddmi or rdemi or redmi still lacks 1080p 30fps recording)
Software is more important than Hardware in the long run. Owing to this the A15 will be enjoyed more in the long run. I believe the Redmi series will lose appeal this year due to the steep price (which is not their fault). They were blazing for their affordability and also ok specs theyboffered on their phones.
Steep price? With all those features like 120hz amoled display with underscreen finger print sensor and with sd 685 its pretty amazing that their price is low enough together with those specs alot of phones needed to sacrifice alot like chipset just to get amoled display on a phone cheap enough and even the underscreen finger print sensor is amazing together with 108mp camera
Please always review features on Redmi phones 🙏🏼 Reason cos Redmi has this tendercy of limiting features on their phones depending on the variant. Redmi 12 and 13c users are crying of not getting the new control panel maybe cos it's a low budget Xiaomi phones. Redmi Note variant do have some exceptions as some have , second space, app opening and closing animations, dynamic texture in Display & brightness settings etc while some Redmi Note don't have those features for a reason best known to them.
I bought it when it launched and after a decent amount of time, I regret buying it, it advertised the 108MP camera, let me tell you it's not real, it sucks, super blurry for the 108MP claim, videos shake. The battery is worse than the previous notes. After I removed the charger it dropped immediately to 98%. Just dont buy it, please
dont use that feature, it reduces battery health and might make your device slower if too many apps were opened, consider getting the 8gb ram version if available
Everything good this phone but possessor is not good. We expected Helio G99 or Any powerful Snapdragon possessor this price range. Comment from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I love that line: you get android 13, with MIUi 14 on the redmi note 13😂. But I think Samsung A15 is better most especially when you consider the software experience
what is better about the software experience, as compared to the redmi, I see people say samsung has better software experience than redmi but that hasn't been a reality to me am I missing something?
this is why poco m6 pro better than redmi note 13 4G, even redmi note 13 pro 4G still use same chipset with poco's, Snapdragon 685 seem bit too old for now, the Benchmark and technology are any step behind the competition
I just bought it im not really into mobile games so this phone is enough for me , the camera is great for its price here in the philippines compared to other phone within its price range

The design is same as the Note 12 except the camera bump.
Again, there's is no single difference between this Note 13 and Note 12 at all.
