Another day, another smartphone release … but the launch of the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 series is different.
That’s because this trio of devices — the Redmi Note 13, Redmi Note 13 Pro, and Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G — are packed with features that’ll get even the most jaded tech enthusiast’s pulse racing.
Here are five reasons to get excited about the Redmi Note 13 series:
1. Smart home integration
Your new Redmi Note 13 Series phone is the keystone of a smart home environment thanks to its ability to seamlessly integrate with Xiaomi smart wearables and smart home appliances.

Take advantage of this brilliant bundle deal: Get the Redmi Note 13 for R329 a month, the Redmi Note 13 Pro for R429 a month, or the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G for R699 a month, on a 36-month contract from Vodacom, and you’ll have the option to add a Xiaomi smart wearable or appliance to your contact for a nominal extra cost.

2. Fast chargers included
Unlike some other smartphone brands which don’t even give you a charger in the box anymore, Xiaomi has included a high-wattage charger with each of the devices in the Redmi Note 13 series.
The Redmi Note 13 has a 33W fast charger, the Redmi Note 13 Pro has a 67W turbocharger and the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G kicks things into high gear with a 120W hypercharger.
With these fast chargers in play, the Redmi Note 13 Pro powers up to 100% in just 45 minutes, while the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G cuts that down to an astounding 19 minutes — numbers that were unthinkable a few years ago.
3. Incredible 200MP shooters
Both the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G come with a triple rear camera set-up comprising a 200MP main shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro camera.
Combine this with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), 2X/4X optical-grade lossless zoom, professional lens calibration and a slew of built-in editing options, and you don’t just have a new camera phone in your pocket, you have a content creation suite that’s ready to go at all times.
