On March 13th, news broke that the Redmi Note 13 Turbo and its international counterpart, POCO F6, have made their appearance in the IMEI database, with an official release slated for April.
Following Redmi's previous strategy, the Note series now sees two models per year. The first half focuses on the Performance Powerhouse, emphasizing a performance-centric experience. In the second half, it shifts to the Experience Explorer, prioritizing the widespread adoption of new technologies.
The Note 13 Turbo is all about performance, featuring specs that have been leaked previously. It's the first device to rock the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 mobile platform, making it the most powerful chip in the Snapdragon 7 series to date.
It shares the same architecture as the Snapdragon 8 Gen3, with a prime core of Cortex-X4 clocking in at 2.8GHz, big cores as Cortex-A720, little cores as Cortex-A520, and the GPU is the Adreno 732, with a frequency exceeding 800MHz.
The Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 racks up a maximum score of up to 1.7 million on AnTuTu benchmarks, which puts it in the same league as the Redmi K70 that's equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen2.
Regarding other configurations, it is expected to maintain the standards of the previous generation overall, with slight upgrades.
As a reference, the previous generation featured a 6.67-inch ultra-thin four narrow-edge straight screen, without a screen stand, supporting a 120Hz high refresh rate, and a 1920Hz PWM high-frequency dimming.
It comes with a built-in 5000mAh battery, officially tested for a battery life of 1.33 days, supporting 67W fast charging. The device also boasts a 64-megapixel main camera, X-axis linear motor, versatile NFC, infrared remote control, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
