The Xiaomi 13 has brought some significant upgrades from its predecessor, including a larger 6.36-inch OLED display with a FullHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also has Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG support, and an ambient color sensor. However, it lacks an LTPO substrate for fast and dynamic refresh rate switching. Despite that, its brightness has been boosted to a whopping 1,900 nits peak, matching the Pro model.
The Xiaomi 13 comes with an impressive set of specifications, including a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Its camera setup features a 50MP main snapper, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera with OIS, 3.2x optical zoom, and f/2.0 aperture. It also has a 32MP front camera. The phone has a 4,500mAh battery with 67W wired and 50W wireless charging, and it runs on Android 13 with MIUI 14. The Xiaomi 13 has a glass back and front with a glossy and flat middle frame that gives off an iPhone vibe. Other features include an IP68 rating, stereo speakers with Dolby Head tracking, an under-display fingerprint reader, NFC, and an infrared port. Overall, the Xiaomi 13 is an excellent generational upgrade, offering great value for its price.
