Xiaomi and Vodacom have launched the Redmi Note 13 Series smartphones in South Africa.

Pitched as a key foundation to a smart home and smart life, the new Redmi Note 13 devices offer great performance, quality and aesthetics – and are priced to beat competitors.

Indeed, users have the option of adding a Xiaomi smart home device to their Redmi Note 13 contract, with a choice of robot vacuum cleaner, smart camera, smart speaker, scooter or photo printer. These deals are available until 6 May.

Iris Cao, marketing manager of Xiaomi South Africa, points out that the Redmi Series is well known for delivering great quality at extremely competitive prices.

“The Redmi Nore 13 Series pushes the boundaries,” she says. “While other vendors were launching phones at prices young people couldn’t afford, Redmi has always offered great quality devices that anyone can afford.”

Top quality photography underpins the Redmi Note 13 Series’ appeal: Both the Redmi Note 13 Pro and the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G boast a 200MP main camera plus an 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro camera. Users can capture more of the action thanks to the Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) and 2X/4X zoom.

“You will understand why we say the Redmi nNore 13 Series is here to make every shot iconic,” says Cao.
