I like it very much, for the very low price the spec’s are impressive. The case does not look cheap and the Amoled screen is excellent. I have to say that it is up there with more expensive offerings in the phone market. This is my third Redmi note starting with the 9T and they just keep getting better.. If they went back to replaceable batteries then I would say they would be perfect. One small niggle is that, although the phone came in a nice Ice Blue colour, the silicone case that came with it is an impenetrable black . Nice one Xiaomi. 4 people found this helpful

Great performance from the hardware given the price point. The through-screen camera and under screen fingerprint reader work well and are invisible 99% of the time. I do wish Xiaomi would stop following the Samsung example of bloatware inclusion which of course cannot be uninstalled. Stock android would have made this a 5 star experience, but it still a good performer and a nice piece of hardware. 6 people found this helpful

After 5 years with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9, I begrudgingly updated due to many apps requesting higher than the Note 9’s Android 10. Having had such a good experience with that phone, I thought I’d stay “within the family” and uograde to the Note 13. I also went for the 5g model, with a view to longevity. I work in Mobile QA, and so was able to try out many other devices before settling on this “budget friendly” phone. The device is familiar in all the right ways, while being lightweight. The most standout feature is just how fast the battery charges – I’ll plug it in at 50%, clean my teeth and turn down the house before bed, then find it at 100% already! On initial start, it did instal a lot of apps I didn’t want. Facebook, tiktok, netflix. I’m aware I’m a minority here, so what was frustrating to me may be a standout benefit to someone else. I left the device alone to instal whatever it wanted, then spent 5 minutes uninstalling anything I didn’t want. You can automatically import any settings via transfer from your old to new phone. I did this for Google accounts, but did not go through the process for images/apps and so cannot comment on the ease in that regard. Being in the UK, there are no ads beyond Xiaomi features – for example, they really want you to use the Wallpaper Carousel! As for general necessary phone features – the screen is responsive, even with my hastily (and poorly) applied screen protector. The camera macro feature is excellent. I found it easy to add wigits to my homescreen, customise fonts, apply my own settings, etc. The phone also features WiFi calling, which is a quality of life improvement for me in a poor signal area, and I love the Reading and Bedtime modes which are gentler on the eyes at night. It also has the ability to lock user-specified apps behind a password. Overall, I remain happy with Xiaomi. It does what it says, for a fraction of the price of other big names. Hopefully this will last me another 5 years! As a note, to access 5g on the 5g model you may have to speak with your mobile service provider. For me, I’m with GiffGaff, and could update this setting in their app for immediate 5g access. One person found this helpful

Since I didn’t need a phone equipped for 5G, this one suitsed me well. I’ve had plenty of chance to compare it with the Redmi Note 12 4G and the Note 11 before that and find it a worthwhile improvement. * The fingerprint unlock on the main screen is superior to the side button location on the 11 and 12. It is much more reliable to unlock the phone this way * The main camera is an upgrade and first impressions are good. I shall try with the the Pixel software (search online) to check if there’s any improvement over the Xiaomi camera app. * Another Android upgrade is baked in over the 12, I’m trusting * Stereo speakers, though tiny, are worthwhile * The battery life seems very good * With a 120Hz refresh rate, animations are smooth. * A good IP rating * You still get a headphone/mic jack – hooray! Getting this phone ready for use needs a lot of time and dedication to deleting the junk apps and games (all loaded with advertising/ tracking) as well as disabling advertising in the few Xiaomi apps I decided to retain. Look on the internet and instructions are there to do this. Even so, advertising is a reason why they are able to sell a phone for less than £130 (a reduced offer I snapped up). Once tidied up, it’s a very well specified phone with good memory (in the 8GB/ 256GB version) good GUI and nice case design. If you play memory- and CPU-intensive games, you’ll likely find this phone a bit choppy, but I have better things to do with my time instead of dabbing a tiny screen. One loss I noticed over earlier models was that the SIM slot will only accept a single SIM if you decide to add an SD card to expand memory – previous SIM trays had a line of three recesses for 2x SIM cards plus an SD card. As to another reviewer who found their SIM did not work in this phone, it’s important to add the card in the tray with contacts facing OUTWARD. This might have been their mistake. 19 people found this helpful

I have to start by saying that just by reading the reviews it seems that some people just don’t understand how consumer electronics work. I’m seeing people comparing the speed of the WiFi, gaming performance and camera quality to an iPhone and using that as a measure to say it’s a bad phone. News flash; More expensive products get better features to justify a higher price. That’s how it works. You don’t get everything for nothing, so paying £100-£200 for a phone and expecting high-end or even flagship performance only serves to add unfairly negative reviews. So anyway… I bought this phone for my mother as she was using an absolutely ancient device which barely ran any apps any more. It was painful to watch. A few years ago I owned a Poco F3 as a stop-gap between iPhones which was truly excellent, and I had already bought my dad a Xiaomi (I forget the model) a year before. That phone was still going strong, served his needs perfectly and he’s never had any issues at all. So when looking for a budget friendly device which does everything well… I couldn’t look past Xiaomi as a safe bet. I won’t go into specs, but the build quality is nice and for the price I paid in a Black Friday sale for the 8/256GB model, I just don’t believe I could have found anything better. For a casual user who wants to take a few nice quality pictures (in my mother’s case; flowers and cats, obviously), browse the web and use a few basic apps (no gaming) it just can’t be faulted. There are no situations where you’re left frustrated or disappointed with the performance, usability or quality of the screen. In short, as long as you have realistic expectations for a sub-£200 smartphone I can’t recommend it enough. It’s actually incredible how good a ‘cheap’ phone is nowadays!

Great quality, does everything I need and every bit as good as other makes that are twice the price or more, comes with a UK fast charger, case and screen protector so all in all a great priced good quality phone with all the quality features you would expect from a much higher priced phone One person found this helpful
