Redmi Note 13R Pro released in China, but for what?

Another member of the Redmi Note family has been unveiled, the fourth in a row in China, with none yet in our country. The Redmi Note 13R Pro is available in Chinese online stores from this morning. Interestingly, it is exactly the same as the Redmi Note 13 5G, but with a new design.

The Redmi Note 13R Pro is unchanged from the Redmi Note 13 5Gin terms of features. It has the same 6.67″ OLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 6080 processor, 5,000 mAh battery with 33 W fast charging. There are some differences in size, with the 13R Pro being thicker and heavier. Which I can't explain, because it's the same iron.

But, at least the back design has changed, with a bigger camera island, kind of like the Redmi Note 13 Pro+. They mixed the backs of the two phones to make the Redmi Note 13R Pro.

On top of that, why is the Redmi Note 13R Pro significantly more expensive than the Redmi Note 13 5G? The 13R Pro is only available in one version, and that is the 12 GB memory + 256 GB back. In China, you'll be asked to pay 1,999 yuan, which is equivalent to 96,680 HUF. The regular 13 5G, however, is only 1,599 yuan ~ 77,350 Ft, in the same package.
