Xiaomi has launched a new budget smartphone in the Indian market. This is the Redmi 13C 5G, launched at a price of ₹10,999. Interestingly, this is one of the very few smartphones that comes with 5G connectivity around ₹10,000. Along with that, the Redmi 13C 5G also comes with a beautiful starry design that is inspired by star trails.
I am comparing the Redmi 13C 5G with the Lava Blaze 2 5G. The latter also falls under the sub-₹10K category and supports 5G connectivity. Let’s bring it on.
The Redmi 13C 5G is equipped with a 6.74-inch IPS LCD display that comes with an HD+ resolution. Further, the display supports up to 90Hz refresh rate.
The Lava Blaze 2 5G also shares the same display specifications except for its size. It features a 6.56-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with 90Hz refresh rate.

Whereas, the Lava Blaze 2 5G launched at a starting price of ₹9,999. You can purchase this smartphone from Lava’s official store as well as from Amazon.
Now, why the Redmi 13C 5G comes with a slightly higher price than the Lava Blaze 2 5G? I think because of the bigger display size and a newer processor.
