The storage on the device can also be expanded to as much as 1TB, via a microSD card.

The new Redmi 13C sports a 6.74-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 600 x 720 pixels, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 450 nits. For optics, there is a 50MP primary camera, a 2MP secondary camera, as well as a 2MP macro lens.  On the front is a 5MP camera for selfies and video calls.

Under the hood of the Redmi 13C is a large 5,000 battery which comes with support for 18W fast charging. However, the phone only comes with a 10W adapter in the box.

The battery on the device is also a similar 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W PD fast charging.
