In China, Xiaomi has quietly introduced its latest budget 5G smartphone, the Redmi Note 13R, as a successor to last year’s Note 12R.
Design:
With the new magnetically controlled ink process, the phone creates waves with flowing light and shadow under the sun. According to the company, the visual effect is smart and three-dimensional, complementing the silky smooth glass feel.
The Redmi Note 13R shares the same design as its siblings. Its camera module is similar to that of the Redmi Note 12R, but it may not be as polished.
