Xiaomi has silently unveiled the Redmi 13R 5G in China. It has a 50 MP AI Cam, a 6.74” LCD with 90 Hz refresh rate, and is actually another Redmi 13C 5G in disguise for the domestic market.
The Redmi 13R 5G has a Dimensity 6100+ chipset and a single memory configuration – 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. It is a dual-5G handset with room for two SIM cards and one microSD card in a long tray.
It also has a big 5,000 mAh battery with 18W charging support, but Xiaomi is providing only a 10W adapter in the box.
The one and only difference between Redmi 13C 5G and Redmi 13R 5G is the design around the camera – the Chinese version has a big black rectangle spanning from one side to the other.
