Had the chip been made by TSMC, I think this could have been a battery champion. Like you say, it isn't terrible, but could be much better. At least it charges really fast if you need to get back on track asap.

I use Flat Equalizer, with proper setup it works reliably even for ringtones and quality can get a lot better too. Mine sounds almost like an iPhone.
Used to have a Galaxy A72 and sound is not quieter after after tweaking.

I bought my wife a Redmi Note 13 Pro back in March. It is the 256 GB ROM + 8 GB RAM version. She primarily wanted this phone for the fantastic still shots from the camera. Here is my review of it so far:
Pros:
1. Decent build quality. I would say Oppo and Motorola have better build quality in this price bracket, but it is nonetheless more than acceptable.
2. Display is great. And the PWM is no issue for me thanks to the high frequency of 700+ Hz (low PWM frequencies give me migraines).
3. Stereo speakers have great audio quality.
5. Excellent performance from the SD 7s Gen 2 SOC, including for gaming. The modem and antennae are also great, picking up signals reliably, resulting in stable mobile data connections and call quality.
6. The 67 Watt charging tops up the phone up quite fast.
7. The main camera produces fantastic stills in both pixel binning mode and 200 MP mode. My wife is quite pleased with the camera stills. The video quality is also quite something.
8. The GPS is fast and accurate. You can use it for regular navigation without worries.
Cons:
1. The phone seems to get quite warm when charging at 67 Watt (though not so when using a 15 Watt charger). It also gets somewhat unusually warm while using GPS, which is something I haven't seen in phones of this price range since Samsung 2019-2020 Galaxy A series line-up.
2. Despite the audio quality from the speakers, they do not get too loud. I have seen phones that cost half as much get much louder (albeit at the cost of audio quality).
3. The phone may have fantastic signal reception where there are lots of towers, but it does not support a lot of bands (well, at least not the Indian and Chinese versions). My wife's phone worked well enough in EU urban areas and even some rural areas, but had issues in other locales. It also seems to have issues catching signals in regions such as the Alps.
4. The ultrawide camera is quite disappointing and the macro is useless. Xiaomi might as well not even have added those to this device.
5. The selfie camera is not a disappointment, but could be much better. I have seen comparable or even slightly better results from some smartphones that cost literally half as much.
6. The battery backup could be much better. It isn't horrible, mind you, as it will get you through a day of average usage and no gaming. But it could be much better. It lasts long while gaming, but - strangely - not so when using GPS, web browsing, and especially when using the camera for some reason. I have no idea why the camera drains so much battery.

It really puzzles me why Xiaomi is not giving us phones with over 125* wide lenses. This one is even less than 120. Basically not wide.

as much i was getting on with this the update to hyperos has made it un-useable with it breaking the notifications for messages and calls with no fix so far. have gone back to my old galaxy a41 which is still great. to others, it has a 3.5mm, the camera is not at al blurry and takes good 200mp shots aswell, just a shame hyperos has ruined it [i am on eu version not chinese].

If you don't know the 5G version has the 5G after "pro", you have to turn Sherlock and investigate by the larger model number/code.

This silly company released 6 variants of this when the 4G, 13R, base 13 4G/5G have no reason to exist. And could've put the microsd card on the 13 Pro.
