Xiaomi has officially unveiled its latest flagship smartphones, the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro, promising a slew of cutting-edge features for tech enthusiasts.

Both phones boast a stunning 6.67-inch 1.5K CrystalRes Display, offering an impressive 144Hz refresh rate. What’s more, these displays dazzle with up to 1200 nits of brightness, featuring a peak brightness capability that reaches a remarkable 2600 nits. Additionally, the phones incorporate advanced features like 2880Hz PWM dimming, Dolby Vision, and the immersive sound experience of Dolby Atmos, complete with built-in dual speakers.

Under the hood, the Xiaomi 13T Pro is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ chipset, while the Xiaomi 13T is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra SoC. Both models feature a substantial 5000mm² VC stainless steel soaking plate for efficient heat dissipation.

Operating on Android 13 with MIUI 14, Xiaomi ensures its commitment to software support with a promise of four years of Android updates and five years of security updates for these smartphones.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the Xiaomi 13T Series’ triple camera setup, featuring Summicron lenses co-engineered with Leica. The setup includes a 50MP wide-angle camera with a 24mm equivalent focal length and a 7P aspherical lens, as well as a 50MP telephoto lens with a 50mm equivalent focal length. Complementing these is a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera with a 15mm equivalent focal length.

The Xiaomi 13T Series introduces two distinctive photographic styles: the Leica Authentic Look and the Leica Vibrant Look. These styles deliver natural color reproduction, strong contrast, and enhanced shadow definition while maintaining the classic Leica image aesthetics. Moreover, a custom photographic styles function, initially featured in the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, allows users to fine-tune Tone, Tonality, and Texture at the pre-set stage, preserving more details and colors for post-processing. Users can save their preferred presets to achieve distinctive and personalized photographic styles.

In the realm of video recording, the Xiaomi 13T Series impresses with 10-bit LOG 4:2:0 H.265 video recording and pre-installed Rec.709 LUT. Furthermore, the Xiaomi 13T Pro takes it up a notch by offering 8K video shooting, and the 50MP wide-angle camera benefits from both OIS and EIS for superior stability.

The Xiaomi 13T Series is available in Alpine Blue, Meadow Green, and Black. The Alpine Blue variant features the premium Xiaomi BioComfort vegan leather on the back panel, offering a soft and delicate texture for comfortable handling. In contrast, the Meadow Green and Black models boast glossy glass back panels, adding a touch of luxury to the design. Additionally, these phones come with IP68 ratings, ensuring dust and water resistance.

Powering these devices is a robust 5000mAh battery, with the Xiaomi 13T Pro supporting Xiaomi’s rapid 120W HyperCharge technology, enabling a full charge in a mere 19 minutes. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 13T offers 67W fast charging, which can juice up to 21% of the battery in just 5 minutes.
