The newest flagship phones from
Xiaomi have just gone on sale in China. No other than the much-awaited Xiaomi
13 series, which includes the 13 and 13 Pro, is the topic at hand.
The two phones introduce official
ingress protection (IP) rating, which was previously only available on select
more cheap phones like Xiaomi's Ultra flagships.
Display Configuration
The curved screen from last year
has been replaced by a completely flat panel by Xiaomi. According to Xiaomi,
this 6.36-inch 120Hz OLED panel has the smallest bezels ever, giving it a
screen-to-body ratio of 93%. This 1080p screen supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision,
and has a maximum brightness of 1900 nits.
Sadly, despite being a flagship,
the screen does not receive LTPO treatment, therefore battery-saving lower
refresh rates are not available.
Despite having a larger 6.73-inch
LTPO AMOLED panel with such a 2K resolution, the Pro sibling is maintaining its
curves. It has Gorilla Glass Victus protection and is capable of reaching the
same maximum brightness levels of 1900 nits.
Storage and Processor
The most recent and finest
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC from Qualcomm is the same cutting-edge chipset that
powers both phones. At least based on early benchmark scores, it is said to be
much superior to its predecessor. This is coupled with 512 GB of UFS 4.0-based
storage and up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. There is no slot for a memory card.
The phones' software comes
pre-installed with Android 13 and Xiaomi's latest MIUI 14. Numerous new features
& performance enhancements are included in the new OS, which we will
examine in a different article.
Camera Department

The Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro have
significantly different camera setups. The normal model includes a 50MP
(1.49′′) image sensor underneath the main camera, while the Pro model opts for
the gigantic 1-inch type Sony IMX989 that decorated Xiaomi's 12S Ultra. This
camera has 50MP resolution as well, but it also has a second set of 50MP
cameras for telephoto and ultrawide shots (3.5x optical zoom).
A 12MP ultrawide camera and a
10MP telephoto lens are the only cameras on the Xiaomi 13. Both phones' 32MP
wide-angle selfie cameras can capture up to 8K video with OIS.
Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro Battery and Price Details
In contrast to the Pro's larger
4,820 mAh battery and 120W wired charging, the Xiaomi 13 offers a smaller 4,500
mAh cell with 67W wired charging. Both have 50W wireless charging, which is
quicker than the cable charging on the majority of other flagship smartphones.
For your other devices and accessories, 10W reverse wireless charging is
supported.
The starting prices for the
Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro are $575 and $750, respectively. The price tags will
probably be a little bit more globally.
