Another day, another Redmi Note 13 review. But seriously, we saved the funniest for last. Meet the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ – the best-specced model in the Redmi Note 13 series.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is the only Note 13 to offer a full IP68 rating, a first for the entire Redmi Note series. It also impresses with 120W fast charging, a powerful Dimensity 7200 Ultra chipset, and fast UFS 3.1 storage.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has a curved glass design, and it uses the same 6.67-inch AMOLED screen as the Redmi Note 13 Pro – a great panel with 1220p resolution, 12-bit color depth, 120Hz refresh rate, and Dolby Vision support.
The Plus model is powered by the Dimensity 7200 Ultra chipset, equipped with modern CPU and GPU cores and UFS3.1 memory chips. The camera system is the same as the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G – 200MP OIS main camera with up to 4x lossless zoom, 8MP ultra-wide angle, 2MP macro and 16MP selfie camera.
The battery sounds like a standard 5,000mAh unit, but it supports 120W fast charging. According to Xiaomi, the included 120W power adapter should charge from 0% to 100% in just 19 minutes.

Redmi Note 13 Pro+ unboxing
The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ comes in a thick white box that contains everything you need to get started. There’s a 6A rated USB cable and a 120W fast charger, so there’s nothing to buy.
Even better, the set also comes in a dark gray case with a huge cutout for the camera housing. You’ll find a thin facing page on the screen to protect it from scratches.
