Xiaomi is gearing up to expand its affordable smartphone lineup with the Redmi 13 5G, following the success of the Redmi 12 series. However, disappointing news awaits global fans as the Redmi 13 5G is slated for release exclusively in the Indian and Chinese markets, with no plans for a global launch.
The Redmi 13 5G is expected to retain the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (SM4450) chipset, similar to its predecessor, the Redmi 12 5G. Key specifications include a codename “breeze” and an internal model number “N19”. Notably, the smartphone will bear model numbers indicative of its targeted markets, with “RN” representing Redmi and “PC” symbolizing POCO. The model number “2406ERN9CI” suggests an Indian release, while “2406ERN9CC” denotes availability in China.
In certain markets, the Redmi 13 5G is anticipated to be rebranded under the POCO brand as the POCO M7 Pro 5G, following a similar naming convention observed in previous models. The device is likely to debut first in the Chinese market, boasting HyperOS software based on Android 14, offering users an enhanced interface experience.
Overall, the Redmi 13 5G and POCO M7 Pro 5G aim to offer affordable yet feature-rich smartphone options, catering primarily to the Indian and Chinese markets with minor changes from their predecessors.
