play00:57

yes their portfolio used to be really

play01:00

all about value for money they really

play01:03

changed their course especially last

play01:05

year by adding a Pro Plus on their

play01:09

lineup not just catering for people

play01:11

looking for Budget smartphones as well

play01:13

as for those people who wants a better

play01:27

lifestyle redm Note 3 18 Pro Plus has a

play01:31

different design compared to its younger

play01:34

siblings on this phone you are getting

play01:36

large

play01:38

rings individual camera modules yes

play01:43

camera Island this time the device looks

play01:45

a lot cleaner and

play01:47

refreshing purple version by the way

play01:51

this has a frosted glass

play01:57

Design Tech reviewers outside the

play02:00

Philippines that is because leather

play02:02

variant phone won't be available here in

play02:05

the Philippines and unlike other

play02:07

smartphones The Flash here is isolated

play02:10

and even The redmi Branding now if type

play02:13

purple smartphones this is also

play02:15

available in white and black same

play02:20

then you get the same satin texture

play02:25

throughout

play02:27

fingerprints now if you are wondering

play02:29

this redm note 13 Pro Plus 5G has a set

play02:34

of stereo speakers one at the bottom of

play02:36

the phone and the other one is within

play02:39

the earpiece Isa PA earpiece speaker has

play02:42

an additional vent at the top of the

play02:48

device now if you will notice we have

play02:50

here a 3D curved display by the

play02:56

way

play02:58

every in general is because aside from

play03:01

its cor Gorilla Glass victos in front we

play03:05

also have a glass back so

play03:08

yes somehow it has a better shter

play03:11

resistance now what's more worth

play03:14

mentioning is this device the Pro Plus

play03:18

has an ip68 water and dust resistance if

play03:23

you remember xiaomi added an IP 53

play03:26

rating last year so it's good that the

play03:28

brand offered a full fledged

play03:31

ip68 with the note 13 Pro Plus aside

play03:35

from this the change that I really like

play03:37

the most is the inclusion of an

play03:39

indisplay fingerprint module if you

play03:42

remember xiaomi offered a side mounted

play03:44

reader before so to have an optical

play03:47

fingerprint module that is built in into

play03:50

the panel is actually a good move it is

play03:52

reliable and consistent so I don't think

play03:56

issue on this

play03:58

area to

play04:02

display let's get into it actually on

play04:04

this area Shi made a lot of changes we

play04:07

still get the same 6.67 in in size but

play04:11

you panel is actually significantly

play04:14

brighter going up to 1,800 nits in HDR

play04:18

content and does a much better job

play04:20

Outdoors as well higher than resolution

play04:24

and even the pixel

play04:26

density difference

play04:28

talang aside from that color vibrancy is

play04:32

also great May ability guys twe color

play04:35

balance settings and don't forget to go

play04:38

into the settings to switch the refresh

play04:40

rate to 120 HZ since out of the boxa 60

play04:45

HZ

play04:49

actually it's particularly really good

play04:52

probably because of its wide Vine L1

play04:55

certification and even a decent stereo

play04:58

sound and since we we got here a curved

play05:00

display very thiny

play05:04

[Music]

play05:05

bezel now I know when buying

play05:14

smarton

play05:17

perance camera modes is because we got

play05:20

here a 200 megapixels main camera and

play05:24

this time we are getting Samsung's hp3

play05:27

module with a one 1 over 1.4 in sensor

play05:32

size aside from this we also got an 8

play05:35

megapixels wide angle lens and a 2

play05:37

megapixels macro lens I have to say it

play05:40

doesn't have the most versatile set of

play05:43

cameras but hey let's give it a

play05:45

chance sample shots actually as expected

play05:49

from a 200 megap camera image quality

play05:53

are really

play05:58

good times underwhelming shots why

play06:02

because for me color reproduction is

play06:06

subar magenta color outputs me but in

play06:10

terms of low light situations the phone

play06:12

really served me well probably because

play06:15

of the combination of the ois and Eis

play06:18

again if you have this combination

play06:20

expect a better handheld shots compared

play06:23

to other smartphones that doesn't have

play06:28

one

play06:33

[Music]

play06:35

now in terms of its camera interface it

play06:37

remained the same the shooting modes are

play06:39

still at the bottom and take note Wala

play06:42

dedicated zoom lens but we get to use

play06:45

the four times digital Zoom immediately

play06:48

though it's not the same with the

play06:50

portrait mode ability to zoom in by the

play06:53

way out of the box you will also

play06:55

immediately see the 200 megapixels

play06:57

option below

play07:01

some more menu now in terms of its video

play07:04

output actually I like it they are very

play07:07

stabilized compared to the previous

play07:09

phone that we recently reviewed you in

play07:12

terms of its resolution or the FPS

play07:16

capability capable up to 60 FPS though

play07:20

it still shoots 4K at

play07:23

30 pref to sh at 60

play07:28

FPS account but as well as the

play07:30

limitations of the chipset it

play07:33

[Music]

play07:35

has now in terms of performance or the

play07:39

overall overall the redmi note 13 Pro

play07:43

Plus 5G has the dimensity 7,200 Ultra it

play07:49

also has a built in 4 nanometer actually

play07:52

in terms of real world usage performance

play07:55

is really noticeable or the Boost in

play07:58

performance cool Lang Pala the phone is

play08:01

better at handling intensive games it's

play08:04

also great at multitasking and I didn't

play08:07

see any slowdowns in the week I used

play08:09

this device now although we get the same

play08:12

battery capacity from last year and the

play08:16

same 120 wat charging capability since

play08:22

efficient the phone manages to last a

play08:25

little longer in daily use I didn't even

play08:28

have to wor about the battery running

play08:30

out before the end of the day since the

play08:33

bundled 120 W charger takes just over 24

play08:38

minutes to charge the battery by the way

play08:40

just like the predecessor of this device

play08:43

you will need to go into the phone

play08:45

settings to enable the Boost charging

play08:48

mode to unlock the device potential now

play08:51

in terms of software I am curious part

play08:55

yes Mii out of the box keep this segment

play09:03

short it runs with the Android 13 out of

play09:06

the box and xiaomi guaranteed three

play09:09

Android operating system updates

play09:13

yes Isa compared to last

play09:18

year so the day that I'm shooting this

play09:22

video I don't have their price yet even

play09:25

for the regular note 13 W po so it's

play09:28

really hard to see if the phone is

play09:30

actually worth getting or not actually

play09:33

this phone if we were to set aside the

play09:35

price it's a good overall 5G mid-range

play09:39

phone I also like that they are offering

play09:41

a lot of

play09:43

upgrades is solid display performance

play09:47

and of course the ip68 water resistant

play09:51

support anyway for now you L guys I will

play09:54

update you on our Facebook page and even

play09:56
