Xiaomi Redmi Note 13R debuts with design tweaks, largely unchanged internals

The phone has a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset and a 6.79” LCD. The screen supports a 120 Hz refresh rate, and comes with Full HD+ resolution.

The back has 50 MP main and 2 MP macro cameras, while the selfie shooter has an 8 MP sensor. That's the only functional difference actually as the predecessor has a 5 MP sensor for the front-facing camera.
