Xiaomi has officially rolled out the red — or should we say orange? — carpet for the latest Redmi Note 13 Series at a launch event in Bangkok, Thailand, which we are covering now. The company also announced three new wearables — the Redmi Watch 4, Redmi Buds 5, and Redmi Buds 5 Pro — on the same stage.
Xiaomi’s newest mainstream smartphone series debuts five new models, each offering significant aesthetic and hardware upgrades from the previous generation.

Spotlight on the Redmi Note 13 Series
All phones in the series run Xiaomi’s MIUI 14 software based on Android 13 out of the box, while the chipset varies between models. The vanilla Redmi Note 13 and Redmi Note 13 5G are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 and MediaTek Dimensity 6080 processors, respectively. The 4G and 5G editions of the Redmi Note 13 Pro, meanwhile, use the latest MediaTek Helio G99-Ultra and Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chips. The latter is built on a flagship-grade 4nm process, just like the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra SoC featured on the Redmi 13 Pro Plus 5G.
In terms of the camera, the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G, Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, and Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G all get a 200-megapixel main image sensor that includes optical image stabilization and can use a center crop to deliver 2x and 4x lossless-quality images with just the tap of a button. The base model is no slouch either, featuring a 108-megapixel camera at the back.
