This is what made Samsung fashionable, but Xiaomi is surrounded by large crystals and they look great. In addition, lThe three-color beauty looks greatAlthough it does not exist in the black version, it may seem small.
On the other hand, Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G It goes to the traditional proposal. The camera module is stacked on the back in this case and the design is mixed: square like the Xiaomi 14, but like the Redmi Note 12 with crystals of uneven size, in this case the backs have a uniform color.
Both color palettes play with pastel tones And they are very similar, although the 4G model prefers darker colors. Their designs are so versatile that they fit seamlessly into business, youth and casual environments.

Xiaomi has not introduced too many improvements to the screens of this generation, focusing more on increasing the brightness than anything else. However, the panels used in the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G and 5G are not the same, the latter being superior (as expected).
In the 5G version, we are talking about a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel, a resolution of 2712 x 1220 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Of this, the only thing that changes in the 4G model is the resolution, which is 2400 x 1080. Pixels (slightly lower).

Being the most expensive mobile, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G is fully expected to outperform the 4G model in every feature. This is something that holds true in the performance department, but we have to say that the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G has a very respectable power.
The Helio G99 Ultra is a chip designed by MediaTek specifically for Xiaomi. The performance is technically the same as the standard G99, but the consumption is lower and optimized for the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G. This will allow you to reach 410,533 points in AnTuTu 10An excellent record for a very modest chip with 4G connectivity.
Yes, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 has an average advantage of 40% in benchmarks. However, several things should be kept in mind: It is a very expensive SoC with current technology. And the second best from Qualcomm is the Snapdragon 7 series. It’s a bit of a shame that the Helio is that far from the Snapdragon 7.
Additionally, both phones are sold in the same RAM, storage and software configurations of 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB. All with Android 13 and MIUI 14. Yes, the 5G model uses LPDDR5 RAM and the other LPDDR4X, but it’s not a huge difference.
The cameras are the same and this puts both the Redmi Note 13 Pro in a dangerous position.

Xiaomi decided to equip these two phones Cameras that can be among the best in the middle range. This is a positive thing, but there is a small problem: they are exactly the same sensors and configurations, but the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G benefits from its current rival. There are simply no differences and this is what you will find in both terminals:
200 MP main camera (Samsung HP3) with f/1.7, multi-directional PDF and OIS. 8MP Ultra Wide Angle (Sony IMX355) with f/2.2 and 118º field of view. 2 MP macro (Omnivision OV02B10) with f/2.4. 16 MP front camera (Omnivision OV16AQ1) with f/2.4.
The photos and videos you capture on both phones will be very similar to each other, but the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G will benefit more. the reason? It costs less, makes a big leap over the previous generation and even gets OIS. Be careful, what the 4G terminal doesn’t do and the other one can: play videos in 4K.
The slight difference in the battery is not enough to crown the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G has a 5100 mAh battery inside and is compatible with 67W fast charging. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G has a 5000 mAh battery and the same charging power.
Considering that there is only a 100 mAh difference between them and that the screen of the 5G terminal is brighter, the difference in autonomy should be practically zero. Therefore, all that remains is to give a technical connection between this pair (for this part).
Conclusion: The price of the 4G model is what saves the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G from being stuck.
In this comparison, what we all expected became clear: in general, the 5G model is more complete than the 4G, but is the difference enough to eliminate the latter immediately?

However, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G is still a knock-off and we think it will be a great buy if you opt for it. We had to put prices into the equation for our judgment to change, and that’s saying a lot. in fact, If your thing is to save as much as possible And power doesn’t appeal to you much, then you should go for 4G.
