Xiaomi just launched the same phone twice. Months after launching the Redmi Note 13, the company has launched the Redmi Note 13R Pro, with virtually the same hardware specs with a new back panel design. Like the Redmi Note 13, the Redmi Note 13R Pro is also a China-exclusive at the time of writing. The phone comes in sole 12GB/256GB memory configuration at a price of CNY 1,999 which roughly translates to Rs 23,800.

The Redmi Note 13R Pro has the exact specifications as the Redmi Note 13. It has the same 6.67-inch 1080p OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and hole punch cut-out at the centre. Under the hood, it has the same MediaTek Dimensity 6080 chipset and the same 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support baked in. The phone runs MIUI 14 right out of the gate.

For photography, you get a dual camera setup on the rear headlined by a 108-megapixel primary sensor while on the front, you get a 16-megapixel selfie shooter.

The only thing that’s changing in this new phone is the back panel design. The Redmi Note 13R Pro has an updated camera assembly which looks more akin to a Poco phone. You can also get the Redmi Note 13R Pro in an all-new gold colourway with what appear to be wavy patterns in addition to the more conventional black and blue.

The Redmi Note 13R Pro is launching first in China and it remains to be seen whether Xiaomi will bring it to more markets. The Redmi Note 13 series in general is yet to make its debut in markets like India where Xiaomi has religiously launched most— if not all— Redmi Note series phones. Though not explicitly confirmed, we can expect Xiaomi to make a Redmi Note 13 series related announcement for India sooner rather than later. Another Xiaomi phone that’s hotly awaited in India is the recently launched Xiaomi 14 Pro. There is no word on that either. Watch this space for more updates.
