Case and features - High-quality plastic housing
Not all smartphone buyers need 5G, so there is room for a high-quality mid-range phone with 4G offered at a slightly lower price. This is where the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G from Xiaomi makes its grand entrance, as it brings many advantages of the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G but is 50 euros cheaper.
Although the back is similar, Xiaomi has made some design changes to make the 4G model recognizable at first glance. There is no grouped camera module that stands out in terms of color and feel, but rather individual lenses in the housing. Two slightly lighter stripes run across the upper part of the back. The available colors are green, purple, and black.
The front of the 4G model also has very slim display edges and the punch hole for the front camera is also very small. The device can hardly be twisted even with force and appears very stable overall. Material transitions cannot be felt and all corners are nicely rounded so that the phone sits comfortably in the hand.
Protection against dust and splash water according to IP54 is provided, but the device should not be immersed in water.
Xiaomi offers two storage variants of the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G:
8 GB RAM / 256 GB storage: 349 euros
12 GB RAM / 512 GB storage: 399 euros
NFC is on board, as is an infrared blaster, with the help of which the phone can be used as a remote control for other devices. There is also a 3.5 mm audio port.
Unlike the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, there is no support for eSIMs, but there is a microSD reader. This occupies one of the two SIM slots and achieved mediocre speeds for the price range in our tests with the Angelbird V60 reference memory card.
