POCO F6 + Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G + Xiaomi 13T

We bring you a comparison of three highly requested smartphones from the mid-range segment. Specifically, the models POCO F6, Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, and Xiaomi 13T. The main focus is the camera comparison.

The result is very interesting, as it highlights the sensor quality of smartphones from three different brands within this Chinese tech giant. In addition, we compared the designs of these devices, their hardware specs, and their performance in popular benchmark tests.

What are the biggest differences?

Each of the models compared has a 6.67-inch display diagonal. These are AMOLED panels with resolutions of 1220 x 2712 px and a resulting density of 446 ppi. POCO F6 and Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G have the highest refresh rates at 120 Hz, while Xiaomi 13T pushes this limit up to 144 Hz.

The dimensions of all three tested devices are very similar. The batteries are 5000 mAh, or 5100 mAh for Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. With a single charge, you can expect about 1.5 days of battery life for each model.

POCO F6 supports 90 W charging, and the remaining setup allows for a maximum charging output of 67 W. It’s great that every package includes a charging adapter, along with the included cases.

Comparison photos

Photos were taken with all the smartphones using the default settings. Xiaomi 13T uses color adjustments from Leica, and you have to choose between the “Vibrant” mode, which delivers vivid and bright photos, and the “Authentic” mode, which focuses on rich contrast and colors that are closer to reality.

In some cases, the difference was so minimal that we decided to add just one photo, without even knowing which mode was set. In other cases, where the difference was visible, we added two comparison photos for Xiaomi 13T.

Xiaomi 13T was also the smartphone we were most satisfied with in terms of photo quality. The battle between POCO F6 and Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G was a bit closer. Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G wins in night shots, while during the day it’s a more balanced fight—the models compete and trade blows.

Sometimes Redmi goes a bit too far with exposure, while POCO is more likely to underexpose. POCO has nicer colors, whereas the results from Redmi can sometimes look quite faded. Judge for yourself using your own comparison of the test photos below.

How about performance?

Each of the tested devices, in our opinion, delivers one of the best price-to-performance ratios in its category. The results from popular benchmarks also carry over to real life. POCO F6 is truly the fastest and smoothest in practice. Next comes Xiaomi 13T, which also provides a trouble-free day-to-day experience.

A big surprise for the price is also the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. Compared to POCO and Xiaomi, it’s slightly slower—for example, opening apps or multitasking happens with a minor delay, but it’s completely acceptable. We compared performance in apps AnTuTu Benchmark, Geekbench 6, and 3DMark.

In the last changed app, besides the classic Wild Life Extreme benchmark, we also ran a 20-minute stress test—which, unfortunately, the POCO F6 didn’t complete due to high temperatures. During gaming, you’ll almost certainly not run into this warning—it’s a very demanding performance test.

However, a longer test under heavy load is an indicator of the device’s heat dissipation efficiency and performance management, and the failure, of course, is something we wouldn’t want to witness. By the way, this test wasn’t completed even by the premium flagship Xiaomi 14 Ultra, on which we also tried 3DMark.

Are you shopping on DHGate for the first time?

The process is in the DHgate mobile app. The Buy Now button takes you straight from the product page to checkout, and the coupon box is all the way at the very end of the page—which is why most people miss it and pay the full price.

  1. Sign in and click Get the DiscountOn DHgate, create an account or log in—it also works via Google or Facebook. Then copy the coupon from our article and click the GET THE DISCOUNT button—it will open the exact product the code applies to.
  2. On the product page, click Buy NowDHgate redirects you from the product straight to checkout Place Order, and the cart is skipped. So before you click, check the variant—color, memory, and version.
  3. Fill in the address without diacritics and choose paymentAt the top of checkout, enter the delivery address—write your name, street, and city without accents and diacritics, otherwise the shipment may get stuck with the carrier. Then tap Select Payment Method. Also note the Ship from info—items shipped from the EU warehouse usually take days, and they don’t go through customs clearance.
  4. Scroll all the way down to the Coupon code lineThe coupon box is at the very end of the page, below the offer Buy It Together. Look for the line Coupon code with the text Enter code here and tap it.
    Riadok Coupon code s textom Enter code here v pokladni aplikácie DHgate
    You’ll find the Coupon code line only below the summary, above Order Total.
  5. Paste the code and confirm ApplyA window will open Use Promo Code. Paste the copied code into it and tap the yellow Apply. Enter the code exactly, including uppercase letters and without spaces.
    Okno Use Promo Code so zadaným kupónom a tlačidlom Apply v aplikácii DHgate
    Paste the code into the Use Promo Code window and confirm with the Apply button.
  6. Check the discount and payYou’ll see the applied coupon in the Saved line — when you open it, it will show as DH Coupon. Only when Order Total really lower, tap Confirm to pay.
    Rozbalený riadok Saved s položkou DH Coupon v pokladni DHgate
    After opening the Saved line, you can see the applied coupon as DH Coupon.
You only have about half an hour to pay. There’s a countdown on the Confirm to pay button — when it runs out, the order is canceled and you have to create it again. So enter the coupon before you start paying.
DHgate sometimes adds a discount automatically. The Saved line may already be filled in before you enter any code. After pressing Apply, compare the Order Total — if it didn’t go down, the code either wasn’t applied or it’s weaker than the discount DHgate gave you automatically.
Our extra service with VIP support — we’ll handle the order on DHgate for you and ship it straight to your address.

If you don’t have experience buying on DHgate, your payment won’t go through, or the coupon doesn’t work, we offer our readers and customers an order-handling service delivered directly to your address. You send us the money by bank transfer and we order the product straight to you. That way, you don’t have to worry about a failed payment or applying the coupon, and you can be sure the whole order goes through 100 % correctly.
