Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 13 series two months ago, and the vanilla Note 13 arrived with a Dimensity 6080 chipset, a 5,000 mAh battery and a 108 MP main camera.
Today, the company announced a Redmi Note 13R Pro, which is the same phone on the inside. On the outside, there is a yellow color option and a bigger camera island that now spans from one end to the other.
The Note 13R Pro has only one memory combo: 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. The screen is the same 6.67” OLED Xiaomi has been using for its phones for the past three years. The camera on the back is indeed the same 108 MP sensor by Samsung, while the selfie shooter inside the punch hole has a 16 MP sensor.
Xiaomi also kept the 5,000 mAh battery with 33W charging support. The phone might be practically the same, hardware-wise, but because of the extra plastic on the back for the camera island, the device got slightly heavier and thicker.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 13R Pro
The Redmi Note 13R Pro is currently selling in China for CNY1,999 ($280). We do not know who this phone is intended for, since the regular Note 13 with 12/256 GB memory is a lot cheaper – CNY1,599 ($222), discounted from CNY1,699 ($237).
