And, for the vast majority of users, it is not necessary to spend thousands of euros on a smartphone to get a great experience. For this reason, this Xiaomi terminal arrives loaded with a good set of features, focused on off-road use. It more than fulfills both the screen, battery, hardware and cameras, so that it is unlikely to be able to disappoint almost anyone.

Today I am going to tell you how my experience of use with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G has been, and why is it going to be a mobile that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality terminal at a reasonable price. Keep reading because it will surely surprise you.
Exquisite design and quality screen with high resolution
This is a mobile phone suitable for users who love large terminals. Its dimensions are 161 x 74.2 x 8.9mm and its weight is slightly below 200 grams without cover (199 grams). Despite this, their songs with rounded curves They make it comfortable to hold and even operate with one hand. This helps especially if, like in my case, your hands are large. It doesn’t feel really heavy and you get used to its handling quickly. Of course, storing it in your pants pocket can be a bit annoying, especially if you wear tight clothing.
| Characteristics | Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 161.4 x 74.2 x 8.9mm 199 grams |
| Screen | 6.67 inch AMOLED Resolution 1.5K (2,712 x 1,220 pixels) 120Hz 1,800 nits |
| Processor | MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra |
| RAM and ROM | 8 or 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM 256 or 512 GB UFS 3.1 |
| Battery | 5,000 mAh 120W fast charging |
| rear cameras | Main: 200 MP Angle: 8 MP Macro: 2NP |
| Front camera | 16MP |
| Connectivity | 5G Wi-Fi 6 GPS Bluetooth 5.3 |
| OS | Android 13 + MIUI 14 (updatable) |
Its design is certainly attractive, and has little to envy of smartphones twice as expensive. Its rear part is made of shiny glass which gives it a certain touch of elegance. Of course, the footprints remain irremediably marked, thus clouding its appearance a little. On the back they also highlight the size of its cameras that protrude slightly and that causes the mobile phone to wobble if you rest it on a table. Therefore, it is advisable to use it with a transparent case that is already included and does not detract from its elegance.
If we turn it around we find its 6.67 inch screen. This not only stands out for having a panel AMOLED very bright, but its maximum peak brightness reaches 1,800 nits. This allows the screen to be seen perfectly, even when used outdoors and in sunlight. It must also be said that it has resolution 1.5K (2712 x 1220 pixels) and supports content with HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. In addition, its refresh rate can be adjusted in 60 or 120 Hz.
Powerful gaming performance and 200 MP camera
The hardware of the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G also stands out for being powerful and solvent for all types of tasks you may need. To do this, it integrates a chip signed by MediaTek, specifically the Dimensity 7200 Ultrawhich is manufactured in a 4 nanometer structure and reaches a maximum clock speed of 2.8 GHz. This makes it possible for perform at a very good level both when running applications quickly and even for games. Titles as demanding as Asphalt 9, PUG or Genshin Impact move especially well at not very high resolutions and with good frame rates.
You will be able to find two versions of RAM and storage, either 8 and 256 GB or 12 and 512 GB respectively, according to your needs. The 12 GB RAM version is widely recommended for intense multitasking, and its 512 GB of storage means there are no space problems. Keep in mind that it does not have the possibility of expansion using microSD cards.
Regarding the battery, it must be said that it incorporates a 5,000 mAh battery, which can last a day of use perfectly, although it all depends on the use we give it. But the best of all is its compatibility with 120W fast charging with its included charger. This allows it to be charged to 50% in less than 10 minutes, reaching 100% in about 20 minutesa real savagery.
When talking about the cameras, it must be said that it has three sensors on the back. Here, its main sensor stands out especially Samsung ISOCELL HP3 200 megapixel, with which you can make a digital zoom of up to 10x. This groups 16 and n1 pixels allowing brighter results in low light conditions. In addition, it records videos in 4K at 30 fps. It is accompanied by an 8 MP wide angle sensor and another 2 MP macro sensor, with more modest results, especially at night, where its use is not worth it.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G: conclusions and price
For everything I have told you, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G I think it’s a great option, taking into account that its RRP for the 8 GB RAM version is €449 and €499 for the model with 12 GB of RAM. And the best of all is that despite having been on the market for a short time, it is possible to find very good one-off offers, and it is possible to purchase it even for less than €350.
Both in terms of performance, screen, battery and cameras, it seems to me to be an unbeatable acquisition, since it is a smartphone that can have few faults for the price you are going to pay for it.
To conclude and as a summary I will tell you what I liked the most and the least:
The best:
- Nice design with glass back
- Very bright screen with high resolution
- Very reliable hardware for all types of tasks
- Spectacular fast charging
- Main camera that performs at a good level
Worst:
- Removing the main sensor, the other cameras are not notable
- Does not include the possibility of expansion via microSD
- Does not have a headphone jack
- Back leaves fingerprints
For all these reasons, it seems to me to be a highly recommended purchase, being able to satisfy the demands of all types of users.
