Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi Note 13 series, which includes 5G-enabled mid-range Android smartphones. The company is readying another device, which could arrive in India under the POCO sub-brand.

Xiaomi is rumored to be developing the Redmi Note 13R Pro. Although it belongs to the just-launched Redmi Note 13 series, it would be sold in select markets under the POCO sub-brand. Let’s look at the leaked and rumored specifications, features, expected launch, price, and availability of the mystery Xiaomi smartphone.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13R Pro Leaked Specifications, Features

Tipster Kacper Skrzypek has claimed that Xiaomi is working on the Redmi Note 13R Pro. He added that the smartphone will be a slightly modified version of the Redmi Note 13 5G.

Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi Note 13 series of smartphones in China this week. The series includes the entry-level Redmi Note 13 5G, the middle-level Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, and the top-end Note 13 Pro+ 5G.

Redmi Note 13 5G will have the rebrand in China, Redmi Note 13R Pro with 64 Mpx camera. It may be also available globally. India very likely will get both 13 5G and 13R Pro (although IDK the second variant will have the same name as in China)

Some of the aforementioned smartphones, or perhaps all three of them are expected to launch outside China. Some reports suggest Xiaomi may withhold launching the Redmi Note 13 5G series until 2024.

It appears Xiaomi may launch one more Redmi Note 13 series smartphone, branded as the Redmi Note 13R Pro. Moreover, this smartphone could be the first device from the Redmi Note 13 series to launch outside China, presumably this year itself.

Redmi Note 13 Pro will be available on Global market as Redmi Note 13 Pro and unknown yet POCO device.

The latest leak claims the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13R Pro will feature a dual rear camera, headlined by a 64MP primary camera. It would be accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor. This Redmi smartphone, just like the other Redmi Note 13 series devices, will have a 16MP front-facing camera for selfies, video calls, and face unlock.

The tipster mentioned the Redmi Note 13R Pro would share a lot of specifications with the entry-level Redmi Note 13 5G. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G features a dual rear camera setup, headlined by a 108MP primary camera. Needless to add, the rest of the camera setup seems unchanged.

When Will The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13R Pro 5G Launch?

Xiaomi has just launched the Redmi Note 13 series, which currently includes three smartphones. The company is rumored to be readying the Redmi Note 13 Turbo edition as well.

Honestly, the Redmi Note 13 series pricing is incredibly insane.

Two minor quirks:

1. Don’t be fooled by the naming. Snapdragon 7s Gen2 is a weaker chip than even 778G in ISP, CPU (Yes, the likes of POCO X5 Pro still have a better chip for expected prices)

2. Global launch (?) pic.twitter.com/37NR8SN3Ji

It is possible that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13R Pro and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Turbo edition could launch outside of China rebranded under the POCO brand. Some reports suggest the Note 13R could be the POCO X6, while the Turbo edition could be the POCO X6 Pro.
