The cost of Samsung A55 and Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is about 40 thousand rubles. But it will be a little more profitable to buy Xiaomi, because in the minimum configuration it has 256 GB of memory (Samsung has 128 GB), it comes with a case, a charger, and the film is immediately glued to the screen.
Of the two smartphones, Xiaomi started faster. At the same time, Samsung also has some advantages. Its first advantage is its metal frame (Xiaomi has a plastic frame), but both devices have glass on the back panel. Additionally, the A55 has full water protection according to the IP67 standard, while the Note 13 Pro+ has the IP68 standard. At the same time, the Xiaomi camera fogs up due to heat.
The screen on both smartphones is AMOLED with a 120 Hz refresh rate. Fingerprint scanners on smartphones are placed on the screens, unlocking occurs at the same speed. The same goes for face unlock.
For some reason Xiaomi is currently still running Android 13 but Samsung is running Android 14 right away.
Samsung A55 is equipped with Exynos 1480 processor, Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ – Dimensity 7200 Ultra. Processor test results are shown in the images below.

Xiaomi has a 200-megapixel main camera with optical stabilization, while Samsung has a 50-megapixel main camera but only supports optical stabilization. At the same time, the wide-angle camera of the A55 is 12 MP, the Note 13 Pro + is 8 MP, and the macro camera is 5 MP and 2 MP, respectively. Samsung’s front lens has 32 MP resolution, while Xiaomi has only 16 MP resolution. Additionally, the A55 can record 4K video on its selfie camera.
In terms of photo detail, Xiaomi really surpasses Samsung. You can see the picture examples above.
In both cases, the batteries are 5000 mAh, but Samsung supports a maximum of 25 W charging, Xiaomi – 120 W and is included in the kit. The A55 holds a charge longer than the Note 13 Pro+.
Samsung Galaxy A55 looks quite budget-friendly and is almost no different from the Galaxy A35 or A54. It also works stably, updates will take a long time to arrive, it has a normal camera, good video recording and it is easy to find all kinds of accessories for it. Xiaomi Note 13 Pro+ has a pretty impressive look, but it still runs Android 13, there are minor bugs, the camera fogs up, but it takes better photos.
