Redmi 13C 5G Malaysia Specs
Similar to the 4G version, the new Redmi 13C 5G comes with a 6.74″ 90Hz display pushing an HD+ resolution of 1600×720 pixels. Under the hood, it runs on a Dimensity 6100+ chip and it comes with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. If you need more storage, the Redmi 13C 5G still supports microSD card expansion of up to 1TB.
In the camera department, the Redmi 13C 5G gets a dual camera setup but interestingly, the spec sheet only mentions a single 50MP “AI” main camera. We reckon that the secondary shooter is likely a low-resolution depth camera. For selfies, it gets a 5MP front camera that sits in a tiny notch on the top of the screen.
The Redmi 13C 5G is powered by a 5,000mAh battery and it supports up to 18W charging via USB-C. Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the power button, a 3.5mm headphone jack and support for 5GHz WiFi. Out of the box, it runs on MIUI 14 based on Android 13.
