We start our list with a new phone in our list of best phones, the Redmi 13 5G. Successor to the Redmi 12 5G, which was the best-selling phone in the budget category last year, the Redmi 13 5G retains the basic features of its predecessor while improving in some key areas. Starting with the display, which is still LCD, now comes with a 120Hz refresh rate for a better user experience. The camera system has also been improved, with the primary sensor now being 108MP. In good light, the Redmi 13 5G can capture good-looking results. The battery capacity is still the same, but the charging speed and the in-box charger are now 33W. Also, the Redmi 13 5G comes with HyperOS software on top of Android 14 out-of-the-box. Of course, those familiar with MIUI will feel right at home in it, but, HyperOS brings several notable improvements in terms of both speed and user experience. Overall, for a budget of under Rs 15,000, the Redmi 13 5G lives up to the name of its predecessor and is one of the best phones you can buy in this price segment.
