When you first hold the device, it looks like the company has given it a glass back but that’s not the case. However the overall design is quite modern and is surely a head-turner.
Design
The 6.79-inch FHD+ panel offers decent visuals indoors, with the 120Hz refresh rate adding a touch of smoothness. The display produces good colours with decent sharpness.
Display
The phone handles basic tasks well but there are instances where we’ve noticed lags and stutters despite not running anything intensive.
Performance
This is Xiaomi’s first budget phone running HyperOS, offering plenty of customisation options. With Xiaomi’s library, you can personalise your lock screen, fonts, icons, wallpapers, themes, and more.
UI
The Redmi 13 5G cameras are one of the device’s key heroes. The primary camera shines in good lighting with a balanced dynamic range, accurate colours, and good detail.
Camera
The Redmi 13 5G packs a 5,030mAh battery, which offers decent optimisation for everyday use. We ran the PCMark battery test, and the Redmi 13 5G lasted 13 hours and 30 minutes.
