Xiaomi announced at the beginning of the year the long-awaited global launch of its new mid-range cell phones. The Redmi Note 13, Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus. We now have the 13 Pro 4G variant in hand for testing.
It features a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with 1.5K resolution and 120 Hz, MediaTek Helio G99 Ultra platform, 8 GB or 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, 256 GB or 512 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, 16 MP front camera, three rear cameras (200 MP / 8 MP / 2 MP), Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, stereo sound with Dolby Atmos and USB-C, 5,000 mAh battery with 67 W fast charging and Android 13 with MIUI 14 .
Our official battery test runs several popular apps, games, and services in timed cycles until the battery is completely drained, with standby time allowed between cycles to track background consumption. Screen brightness and network settings are standardized so that we can draw a parallel between all the models that have passed through our benches.
The apps present in the cycles, and their determined execution times per cycle, are:
6 minutes of use (each) — WhatsApp, YouTube, MX Player (offline video), Spotify, PowerAmp (offline music) and Chrome; 1 minute (each) — Pokémon Go, Asphalt 8, Subway Surfers, Candy Crush, Modern Combat 5 and Injustice; 4 minutes of 3G/4G calls; 2 minutes of use (each) — Facebook, Gmail and GMaps
