Pros
- Fast charging time, with a full charge completed in less than 50 minutes
- Big gain in autonomy from a 5-minute charging boost
- Decent autonomy while streaming videos
Cons
- Poor autonomy when used outdoors
- High discharge currents in general, especially when gaming
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G’s overall battery performance came in slightly above average in our database. However, because of its autonomy and efficiency performances, the device fell short of matching the performance of its predecessor, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G.
Equipped with a 5100 mAh battery, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G offered a moderate usage autonomy of 55 hours and 55 minutes, ranking slightly above average in our database. However, it faced challenges in outdoor activities, particularly in browsing social apps. Nonetheless, its performance in individual use cases, especially while watching videos under both 4G and Wi-Fi connections, was relatively decent.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G comes with a 67W charger, which helped the device reach a full charge in less than 50 minutes. Additionally, a 5-minute quick charge garnered 5 hours and 31 minutes of additional autonomy, positioning the device in the upper part of our database.
The charge-up efficiency of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G is also quite decent, with 78% of overall charging efficiency. However, the discharge currents in most of the use cases were higher than average, which dragged the efficiency score down.
Compared to the other devices in the Advanced segment ($200 – $399), the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G’s below-average performances in efficiency and autonomy prevented the device from outperforming other smartphones in this category.

A robot housed in a Faraday cage performs a set of touch-based user actions during what we call our “typical usage scenario” (TUS) — making calls, video streaming, etc. — 4 hours of active use over the course of a 16-hour period, plus 8 hours of “sleep.” The robot repeats this set of actions every day until the device runs out of power.

Using a smartphone on the go takes a toll on autonomy because of extra “hidden” demands, such as the continuous signaling associated with cellphone network selection, for example. DXOMARK Battery experts take the phone outdoors and perform a precisely defined set of activities while following the same three-hour travel itinerary (walking, taking the bus, the subway…) for each device

For this series of tests, the smartphone returns to the Faraday cage and our robots repeatedly perform actions linked to one specific use case (such as gaming, video streaming, etc.) at a time. Starting from an 80% charge, all devices are tested until they have expended at least 5% of their battery power.

How Charging score is composed
Charging is fully part of the overall battery experience. In some situations where autonomy is at a minimum, knowing how fast you can charge becomes a concern. The DXOMARK Battery charging score is composed of two sub-scores, (1) Full charge and (2) Quick boost.

Full charge tests assess the reliability of the battery power gauge; measure how long and how much power the battery takes to charge from zero to 80% capacity, from 80 to 100% as shown by the UI, and until an actual full charge.

How Efficiency score is composed
The DXOMARK power efficiency score consists of two sub-scores, Charge up and Discharge rate, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario, calibrated tests and charging evaluation, taking into consideration the device’s battery capacity. DXOMARK calculate the annual power consumption of the product, shown on below graph, which is representative of the overall efficiency during a charge and when in use.

The charge up sub-score is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a full charge, related to how much energy you need to fill up the battery compared to the energy that the battery can provide; the efficiency of the travel adapter when it comes to transferring power from an outlet to your phone; the residual consumption when your phone is fully charged and still plugged into the charger; and the residual consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is disconnected from it. The chart here below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in %.

The discharge subscore rates the speed of a battery’s discharge during a test, which is independent of the battery’s capacity. It is the ratio of a battery’s capacity divided by its autonomy. A small-capacity battery could have the same autonomy as a large-capacity battery, indicating that the device is well-optimized, with a low discharge rate.
