Redmi Note 13 4G, Note 13 Pro 4G Specifications Tipped; Series Said to Get 3 Years of OS Updates

Redmi Note 13 4G and Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G specifications have been leaked online. The leak comes days ahead of the Chinese smartphone maker’s scheduled launch date for the Redmi Note 13 5G series in India on January 4. The upcoming lineup will come with the base Redmi Note 13 5G, Note 13 Pro 5G and Note 13 Pro+ 5G models. The Indian variants of the handsets are expected to be similar to their Chinese counterparts. The phones ship in China with Android 13-based MIUI 14, and a tipster has now leaked details of the software support for these phones.

Tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414) shared a detailed list of specifications for the Redmi Note 13 4G and Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The phones are expected to launch globally soon, even though the company has not yet announced these LTE models. The design renders of the 4G models were also shown in the leak. The rear camera units are arranged in individual units alongside an LED unit on the top left corner of the back panel without a distinct camera module. The base model is seen in black, blue and green colour options, while the Pro 4G model is seen in black, grey and purple shades.

Ambhore also stated in a post on X that the Redmi Note 13 5G models are expected to receive three years of major Android upgrades, that is, up until Android 16, both in India and globally. The phones are also said to support four years of security updates. He noted that these models are not likely to get the Xiaomi HyperOS update “anytime soon”.
