One of the hallmarks of a great Android flagship is having a well-rounded spec sheet, checking all the boxes for features that users need and desire on their phone. We’ve seen mid-range Android phones also do this quite well, to the point where it can become difficult to recommend $1,000 flagships to users who just want a phone that works, especially when some of the more affordable flagships can still regress on desirable features like wireless charging and an IP rating.
It’s up to mid-range phones to maintain the pressure on the flagship end of the market by democratizing premium features and making them a part of the bare minimum. By that metric, the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus puts some other, more expensive Android phones to shame.
