NFC function doesn't work for transportation at all, but can work for other purchases (e.g. when paying for groceries and food outside). I think the NFC feature just isn't compatible with SMRT's gantry, despite me trying to reboot my phone multiple times and restarting it to re activate and switch on my NFC. I have tried several methods but none works. This is a big deal breaker for me as I have been using a Google wallet for my public transportation with my previous phone for the past 3 years, which was also a redmi. Now, I literally have to use a physical public transportation card when I take public transportation, which is extremely inconvenient. I purposely spent more money to buy the global version and also bought from shoppee mall Singapore to ensure that NFC feature works. In the end, the NFC feature doesn't work for transportation. I am extremely disappointed.

$395 after discount, sale, and vouchers. Plus free smart band 8. Overall quite nice experience. CAMERAHas some tiny blurring at all the 4 sides for some reasons no matter what settings it is. Maybe it's just mine only.SOUNDMusician's view: Redmi Note 13 Pro sounds just okay compared to the audiophile favourite LG V20 I owned for many years. After EQ, this Redmi phone sound nice when plugged into large sound cabinet. GAMINGWon't use it as I have other gaming devices and phones specifically for it. Normal use is exceptionally well because of its specs. BUDGET PHONEThose looking for budget phone with decent sound and 3.5MM HEADPHONE JACK, this is your phone. NO SD CARD SLOT.

Performance:Fast, Outstanding Camera, Responsive
Quality:Excellent

Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is a very outstanding phone with excellent camera, a decent storage and innovative use of the phone body. EG. you can set the back of the camera for double tap to open camera. Comes with haptic feedback and vibrate. Speakers are wonderful, you can even hear your ringtone from your pocket.

The only catch is the battery life, under intense usage. Battery may drop quite drastic if used for gaming for too long despite no heating issues. However, this can be solved using it's battery save function which can leave the phone lasting until 3days (on 3rd day 10% left)

Overall I'm very satisfied with the phone, it was a huge step-up from using A51 for 5 years

Was looking at this for a while and finally ordered one when it had a small sale. Screen is great, battery life could be better. No charger included, just a cable which I've already managed to lose. It does come with a pre-installed screen protector and case. Although for the money you're probably better off getting the Galaxy A55 instead as the battery life on this is more like 4500mah as I'm getting worse battery life than my previous 5000mah phone. There is a bit of bloatware as well but the overall OS is a nice change. It's not a bad phone but I'd suggest an A55 which matches almost spec for spec besides slower charging or the Motorola G84 which is much cheaper and has better battery life and is an overall better device.
