Xiaomi’s Redmi lineup has to be one of the most popular smartphone lines in Southeast Asia. The Redmi Note line is even more so thanks to the large display, powerful cameras and large battery life. This year’s new Redmi Note 13 series builds on that ethos with a new focus on delivering unrivalled camera performance with a more chic, modern design.

Upfront is a 16-megapixel sensor for selfies. The quad-core processor is supplemented by up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of onboard storage. The Redmi Note 13 Pro follows up closely with the same triple camera and memory setups and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2.
