Through the years, the Xiaomi Redmi quantity collection has constructed a popularity for itself as strong worth for cash telephones, although some had been higher than others. Will the Redmi 13 fall within the “better” class? Nicely, judging by final week’s ballot, the reply is “no”. Let’s have a better look to see what went mistaken.
Value is unquestionably a significant concern – at $180/€170, the Redmi 13 isn’t costly, simply costly for what it provides. It’s a 4G cellphone, with one of many older Helio chipsets (effectively, it’s outdated on the within) and a 90Hz IPS LCD.
The Poco M6 Professional was introduced up a number of instances within the feedback – this one brings the Helio G99 Extremely, pretty much as good as 4G Helio chips go, and a 120Hz AMOLED show. It additionally has UFS 2.2 storage, which, whereas outdated, remains to be higher than the eMMC that the Redmi has to work with.
However wait, the Poco doesn’t have a solution to the 108MP digital camera of the Redmi 13, which appears to be the cellphone’s fundamental draw. Nicely, it seems to be like not lots of people are specializing in the digital camera on this value vary.
Round 1 / 4 of voters might see themselves proudly owning a Redmi 13, although part of this group will want convincing with strong evaluations. There’s a not insignificant fraction of voters that believes that telephones within the $200/€200 value section ought to supply 5G, so this mannequin isn’t within the operating.
Then there’s the massive group of voters which have discovered higher worth in equally priced telephones and has little interest in the Redmi 13. This contains new fashions in the identical value vary or getting larger finish telephones which are a few years outdated and could be discovered for a similar amount of money.
Both method, a very good low cost might help the Redmi 13 alongside. It additionally is likely to be price ready for the inevitable Redmi 13 5G mannequin (not the 13C 5G), which is able to convey a extra trendy chipset.
