Redmi Note 13 5G (Chromatic Purple, 6GB RAM, 128GB Storage)

I'm leaving a 5* here just because this phone is close to perfect for me. Do not expect wonders if you are planning to buy this phone. As the headline suggests, it is not for everyone.1. The build quality is good and the weight feels perfect as it is not on the heavier side. Since the weight distribution is good, it's easy to handle with one hand despite the screen size being close to "massive".2. The AMOLED screen works it's magic while watching videos. My primary aim to buy this phone was for viewing purpose since I spend a lot of time on YouTube and other streaming platforms. The color distribution is a chef's kiss since it does not try to forcibly add gradients. More on the natural side and hence the viewing experience will feel pleasant.3. Sound could have been better. The mono speakers feels cheap but yet surprisingly does the job. I use speakers and headphones so that it's that big of an issue for me (but if you depend on phone speakers for your entertainment, better look for another phone possibly POCO for stereo speakers at the same price point but then you will miss out on the display part )4. CHARGING ISSUE? The answer is NO, Although it's been just a day using this phone, i did not face any issues. I was skeptical after reading the reviews about the charging issues. It's true that I faced a little hiccup when i first charged the phone right after unboxing where the connection is interrupted during charger but that was just for a few seconds (Give it some time and the charging connection issue will disappear). Further the Hyper OS update completely rectified the issue.5. Refresh rate at 120Hz noticeably improves the social media experience. Brightness is good and you won't have any issues using the phone in sunlight. Switch to optimal settings for better using experience6. 5G works like a charm for me with JIO giving speeds of over 250 Mbps most of the time (Depends on the 5G zones. Some of you might get even better since stay near the outskirts of the city)7. Gaming: Not yet tested but it doesn't matter a lot to me so that's fine.8. Camera : Low light photos are good but make sure to stabilize your hand or else it would be blurry. 108 MP camera photos are good and provide good detailing. It could definitely have been a lot better but this phone is not for camera enthusiasts. If you like to create memories by clicking photos and not fuss about the details about them you can definitely go for it.Overall do not exclude this phone from your options (if you are planning on buying this) just by reading the negative reviews. I am not sure why there are so many negative reviews. People should update their phones to the latest firmware to bring out the best and eliminate any bugs.

Good and real brand phone

The phone had a defective speaker. When I took the phone to the service centre, they said that the warranty period had already expired on 05/05/2025. And I'd just bought the phone barely 2 weeks ago, and it is supposed to be under warranty for a year from the date of purchase. Service centre executives say that the phone is most likely a used one/refurbished. There is no other support on this, neither from Amazon nor from the seller.
