Earlier this week Xiaomi shored up its affordable lineup with the launch of the Redmi 13<\/a>, the first phone in the Redmi number series with a 108MP camera<\/a>. It also has faster 33W charging for the 5,030mAh battery compared to its predecessor.<\/p>\n

The base model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage starts at $180\/\u20ac170. The top of the line model is the 8\/256GB version, which costs \u20ac190 (note: the Portuguese store that first revealed this phone is running discounts, the regular prices are slightly higher).<\/p>\n

Perhaps the closest competitor is the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite. It too has a 108MP camera on the back and a similarly-sized 6.72\u201d IPS LCD (FHD+), which runs at a higher 120Hz refresh rate (the Redmi 13 LCD runs at 90Hz). Charging for the 5,000mAh battery is faster at 67W. Note that the Snapdragon 695 chipset is not only more powerful than the Helio G91 used in the Redmi, but it also has 5G connectivity. A Nord CE 3 Lite with 8\/128GB configuration sells for \u20ac210 right now.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the Realme C55, which can be found for \u20ac150 or so (6\/128GB unit). This one uses the Helio G88, which is similar enough to the G91, except that it can\u2019t support 108MP cameras. And it doesn\u2019t have to, it\u2019s paired with a basic 64MP module. The phone has a 6.72\u201d IPS LCD with FHD+ resolution that runs at 90Hz and a 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging, making it very close to the Redmi in terms of specs.<\/p>\n

OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite \u2022 Realme C55 \u2022 Xiaomi Poco M6 Pro \u2022 Samsung Galaxy A25<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Poco M6 Pro can be picked up for under \u20ac200 in an 8\/256GB configuration, but note that we\u2019re looking at the 4G model with a Helio G99. Unlike the two phones above, this is a 2024 model. And it has an IP54 rating, whereas none of the others have a dust or water resistance rating. This one also switches to an OLED display, 6.67\u201d FHD+ 120Hz. While the 64MP main camera isn\u2019t that impressive, the 8MP ultra wide stands out as the others have only the main camera to rely on. The 5,000mAh battery charges at 67W.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy A25 is also under \u20ac200, though for a 6\/128GB unit. The Exynos 1280 does give the phone 5G connectivity. It is paired with a smaller 6.5\u201d FHD+ 120Hz OLED display. This model also has an 8MP ultra wide, which sits next to the 50MP main \u2013 which is the first and only camera on this list to offer 4K video. Typical for Samsung, charging for the 5,000mAh battery is done at 25W.<\/p>\n

Note that all phones listed above have 3.5mm headphone jacks and microSD slots, most have stereo speakers too. Not the Redmi or Realme, though.<\/p>\n

So, what do you think? If you\u2019re in the market for an affordable Android handset, will the Redmi 13 make the shortlist?<\/p>\n
