Redmi 13 in for review

Here's the new Redmi 13, fresh from its announcement last week.

The Redmi 13 is Xiaomi's promising entry-level phone. It has some solid specs for its price, but also cuts some corners. For starters, you only get a USB cable and SIM tool in the box - you'll need to supply your own charger.

Upfront, the Redmi 13 has a good-looking 6.79-inch 1080p IPS LCD with an above-average 90Hz refresh rate and ample brightness.

The Redmi 13 also has a big, 5,030mAh battery with 33W charging support. There's a 12nm MediaTek Helio G91 Ultra chipset with 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and a choice of 128GB or 256GB of built-in storage, that can be expanded through a microSD card slot.

Our unit is the Pink model, and it's a cute little thing. You really only get one camera on the back, but it's a good one. It's a 108MP unit, based on the Samsung ISOCELL HM6, a 1/1.67” sensor with 9-in-1 pixel binning, which also gives it 3x in-sensor zoom. It should deliver solid images for the price point.

That's it for now, as were off testing the Redmi 13. Stay tuned!
