According to Ambhore, these phones are set to ship with MIUI 14 based on Android 13, both in India and globally. While users can expect a generous 3 years of Android updates (up to Android 16) and 4 years of security updates, the anticipated HyperOS inclusion for these devices seems to be deferred.

Unveiling Redmi Note 13 Series: Expectations and Features
With Xiaomi gearing up to unveil the Redmi Note 13 series at an event scheduled for January 4, 2024, users are eagerly anticipating a host of impressive hardware and feature upgrades. The Pro model, in particular, is expected to boast a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a remarkable 200MP main camera, and the Pro+ variant offering IP68 resistance and a Dimensity 7200 Ultra chipset (the Pro likely featuring a Snapdragon 7 Gen 2). A substantial 5,100mAh battery is expected to power these devices.
European pricing details have emerged, with the Pro model priced at €450 and the Pro+ at €500. Color options include black, blue, and white, and a 12/512GB RAM variant has been revealed. The standard Redmi Note 13 5G, equipped with a Dimensity 6080 SoC, and all models featuring a 16MP front camera, promise a compelling combination of features. With the Pro and Pro+ models incorporating additional 8MP and 2MP rear cameras, coupled with fast charging capabilities, in-display fingerprint sensors, and an IP68 rating for durability, the Redmi Note 13 series aims to make a substantial impact in the smartphone market.
