Redmi 13C 5G variant is set to launch in India soon as the successor to the Redmi 12C that was launched a year ago. Industry sources have confirmed to Gadgets 360 that the Chinese smartphone maker is preparing to launch a 5G variant of the Redmi 13C in India, while a 4G model will also make its way to the country.

The Redmi 13C that was unveiled by the company in Nigeria is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G85 chip and offers support for 4G connectivity. Meanwhile, the company is preparing to launch a 5G variant of the Redmi 13C in India, which will also be a new model entirely and will be priced under Rs. 15,000. However, there's no word on the processor that will power this handset. It will be paired with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.
