Xiaomi 13 Pro


For all intents and purposes, the Xiaomi 13 Pro's display remains unchanged. The Xiaomi 12 Pro had a 6.73-inch display, and we have the same one with almost identical specs. Those include a 120Hz variable refresh rate since it's an LTPO panel, 1440 x 3200px resolution, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG and 1920Hz DC dimming against aggressive PWM. The display also has an ambient color temperature sensor that allows it to adjust the color temperature on the fly.

The only upgrade here is the advertised maximum and peak brightness. The new 13 Pro's display can illuminate the whole surface area at 1,200 nits, while the peak brightness boost during HDR video playback, for example, can reach 1,900 nits. The aforementioned Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is paired with LPDDR5X memory and next-generation UFS 4.0 storage.

As far as cameras go, the Xiaomi 13 Pro once again features a triple 50MP setup on the back, but with notable upgrades. The famous 1-inch Sony IMX989, 1.6µm sensor from the Xiaomi 12S Ultra is now paired with a Leica-branded lens with an f/1.9 aperture and Hyper OIS. The telephoto camera also gets a solid upgrade. It's again 50MP but with a further 3x zoom reach and Leica Floating Lens element, but with a slightly smaller f/2.0 opening. The interesting bit is that it has a close focusing distance of just 10 cm.

The ultrawide doesn't get any new fancy tech - it's the good old 50MP, f/2.2, 14mm unit with macro support, which means AF is on the menu, too. Battery gets a slight bump to 4,820 mAh and is paired with Xiaomi's Surge G1 chip allowing safe 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. There's also the usual 10W reverse wireless charging. Nothing new here.

Other features include Dolby Atmos-tuned stereo speakers with Dolby's new head tracking feature, IR blaster and, of course, IP68 dust and water protection, which is a new addition to Xiaomi's mainstream flagship series. The device comes in four paint jobs over the ceramic back - White, Black, Green and some sort of Light Blue, which is a leather iteration and not ceramic. The camera island is now square-ish with oval corners.
