The Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro is the brand’s new high-end smartphones powered by Leica. They come with quite the laundry list of goodies including Leica-powered cameras, new chipsets, and IP68 dust and water resistance.
Both smartphones share key specifications: a 6.67-inch 2712 x 1220 144Hz AMOLED screen with Gorilla Glass 5, IP68 dust and water resistance, a 5,000mAh battery, WiFi 6 support, and dual speakers. The two also share a 20MP f/2.2 front-facing camera.
The highlight are their rear cameras. The 13T series sport a 50MP f/1.9 main camera powered by a Sony IMX707 with OIS, a 50MP f/1.9 telephoto with up to 20x digital zoom, and a 12MP f/2.2 ultrawide. There are multiple Leica-themed filters to duplicate the feel that the brand is known for on their photos.
The difference between the 13T and 13T Pro lie on their chipset and charging speed. The former is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra, up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, and 67W TurboCharge; while the latter has a Dimensity 9200, up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage, as well as 120W HyperCharge.
