POCO X6 Pro vs Redmi Note 13 Pro
Short answer: buy the POCO X6 Pro if performance and gaming come first, because its Dimensity 8300-Ultra chip with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage is far faster than any Redmi Note 13 Pro. Buy the Redmi Note 13 Pro if camera detail matters more, since it has a 200MP OIS main camera, Gorilla Glass Victus and a headphone jack. The Redmi Note 13 Pro comes in 5G (Snapdragon 7s Gen 2) and 4G (Helio G99-Ultra) versions; both are slower than the X6 Pro.

Design and build
Both have a 6.67 inch flat screen, an IP54 splash rating, an IR blaster and in-display fingerprint scanners. The POCO X6 Pro weighs about 186–190 g depending on the finish (vegan leather or glass back) and uses Gorilla Glass 5 on the front. The Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G weighs about 187 g and uses tougher Gorilla Glass Victus.
The Redmi keeps the 3.5 mm headphone jack; the POCO X6 Pro drops it.
Display
The screens are nearly identical: 6.67 inch AMOLED at 1.5K (1220 x 2712), 120Hz and up to 1800 nits peak. Both are sharp and bright, with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support. You won't pick one over the other because of the screen.
Performance and chipset
This is where the POCO wins clearly. The X6 Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra (4 nm) with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, in 8GB or 12GB versions. It runs heavy games like PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact at much higher settings.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G uses the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 (4 nm), a solid mid-range chip that is noticeably slower in games. The 4G Redmi Note 13 Pro uses the Helio G99-Ultra, which is slower again. For all daily apps, all of them feel smooth.
Cameras
The Redmi Note 13 Pro (both 4G and 5G) has a 200MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide, a 2MP macro and a 16MP selfie camera. The POCO X6 Pro has a 64MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide, a 2MP macro and a 16MP selfie camera.
The Redmi captures more detail and allows cleaner 2x and 4x crops. The POCO is good in daylight but less detailed. Video is similar, with 4K 30fps on both 5G models.
Battery and charging
The POCO X6 Pro has a 5000 mAh battery and the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G a 5100 mAh battery (the 4G Redmi has 5000 mAh). All support 67W wired charging, and the charger is normally included in the box. Battery life is good on all of them, a full day for most users.

Who should buy which
Buy the POCO X6 Pro if you are a gamer or want the fastest phone in this class, with 5G and fast storage.
Buy the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G if photos matter more than games, and you want Gorilla Glass Victus and a headphone jack. Pick the 4G Redmi Note 13 Pro only if you want the 200MP camera at the lowest cost and don't need 5G.
