Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Excellent curved AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, good brightness, and vibrant colors.
  • Premium design and build quality, with the inclusion of Gorilla Glass Victus and an IP68 water and dust resistance rating.
  • Extremely fast 120W wired charging (charger is included in the box) that can fully charge the phone in under 30 minutes.
  • Capable main 200MP camera (with OIS and EIS) that produces detailed photos, even in low light conditions.
  • Solid overall performance from the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra processor for daily use and gaming.
  • Good quality stereo speakers and strong haptic feedback (vibration motor).
  • Generous amounts of storage and RAM options available (e.g., 12GB/512GB).

What we don't like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • The software (MIUI, or sometimes HyperOS) comes with significant bloatware and can be buggy, such as having issues with push notifications.
  • Ships with an older version of Android (Android 13) at launch, despite newer versions being available.
  • Poor quality and generally useless 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro cameras.
  • Lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack and no expandable storage support via microSD card.
  • Battery life is considered average by some users and reviewers, and can drain quickly under heavy use.
  • Curved screen design, while visually appealing, can be less ergonomic for some users and is more prone to accidental touches.
  • Can run warm or experience some minor heating issues during heavy gaming sessions.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 8GB/256GB is a powerful mid-range phone featuring a premium curved-glass design with IP68 dust and water resistance and a vibrant 6.67-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and Gorilla Glass Victus. Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra chipset, it offers strong performance for multitasking and gaming, supported by a 5000mAh battery and impressively fast 120W wired charging that reaches 100% in under 20 minutes. Its standout 200MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) captures excellent photos, including quality 2x lossless zoom shots. However, the software comes with bloatware, the 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro cameras are underwhelming, and it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack and wireless charging.
