If the camera is your priority, I prefer the Samsung A55 - although the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus does pump out warmer, more inviting looking pics in good lighting. Still, the Galaxy copes better in low light, while the Xiaomi phone often struggles to even focus.
Gaming fans will want to try the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G. Not only did I find this smartphone heated up less with Genshin Impact, but the frame rate was more stable and the HyperOS game mode is better than Samsung's basic effort.
