The Redmi Note 13 from Xiaomi led the budget class and was recommended by Nepal TechZone as the best option for less than Rs25,000. The Redmi Note 13, its 2024 upgrade, is now available. On paper, there aren't many changes, but improvements in quality of life like stereo speakers, a brighter display, and a better camera arrangement make it worth a look. Let me explain my experience using the Redmi Note 13 (4G) in comparison to the Redmi Note 12 (4G) from last year in this review, and why I believe it maintains the status of its predecessor as the best-balanced phone under NRP 25,000.

Measurements of the design:

IP54 rated, splash and dust resistance
To put it mildly, I've been really happy with the case because the Note 13 is prone to smudges. In addition, I think that the IP54 Rated Note 13 feels a little more bolder and larger than its predecessor.
