Xiaomi is taking advantage of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona to present its new high-end smartphones. To know everything about these extremely promising devices, it’s here that it happens!
THE Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro arrive in France with the ambition of becoming new benchmarks in the premium segment. This desire translates into absolute standards in design and an ultra-competitive positioning. They are indeed available from 999€. And for any pre-order of a Xiaomi 13 or 13 Pro, a Xiaomi TV P1E 43 inches (109 cm diagonal) is offered until March 7, 2023 inclusive.
A unique and remarkable photo experience
Photography is one of the main criteria for selecting a smartphone. The Xiaomi 12 series already excelled in this area and as much to say it right away, this is also the case with this generation.
Xiaomi has teamed up with German manufacturer Leica to develop the module for the 13 Pro. They opted for three 50 megapixel (MP) photo sensors covering focal lengths of 14 mm (ultra wide-angle), 23 mm (wide-angle) and 75 mm (telephoto). Above all, the main lens boasts an impressive 1-inch size that promises to usher mobile imaging into a new era.

In photography, the most determining element is light. It impacts the contrast, the noise, the textures and more generally all the rendering of the image. One of the challenges for manufacturers is therefore to integrate the largest sensor possible to bring in as much light as possible and precisely, the photo sensor IMX989 of the Xiaomi 13 Pro represents the best. This is the guarantee of exceptional shots, especially when conditions are difficult in low light or, conversely, when it is necessary to manage complex shadows on a subject.
As you will have understood, the hardware part uses the best technologies of the moment, but Xiaomi has also paid particular attention to software processing. The speed of the auto-focus is such that it makes it easier to capture moving subjects and the phone is also capable of autofocusing thanks to the new system Xiaomi ProFocus.
Creatives will also be able to exploit the 10-bit RAW DNG format as well as the color profiles created by Adobe to facilitate retouching photoshop Or Lightroom. Two photographic modes, Genuine Leica And Leica Vibrant are also accessible. By the way, the Xiaomi 13 does not have to be ashamed since it also relies on a triple sensor in 50 Mpx, 10 Mpx telephoto and 12 Mpx wide-angle.

Truly impressive performance
If the philosophy advocated by Xiaomi had to be summed up in one sentence, it would be performance without compromise. The Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro smartphones benefit from the best components of the moment, starting with the excellent Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. The latter has been unanimous since its announcement with a gain of 42% on the graphics part, enough to run the most demanding games without the slightest slowdown. This is all the more true as it is supported depending on the version by 8 GB or 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, the fastest at the moment.
And what about autonomy? With its 4,500 milliampere-hour (mAh) battery, the Xiaomi 13 plays the real camels. Ditto for its big brother which even reaches 4,820 mAh and also has a 120 watt fast charge. He needs only 19 minutes to recharge your batteries!
The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro impress
After the performances, the autonomy and the capacities in photo… the faultless continues at the level of the display. The Xiaomi 13 Pro sports an impressive AMOLED screen 6.73 inches (17.1 cm diagonal). As always with this technology, the contrast is absolute and the colors vibrant. The brightness even reaches 1,900 nits to see in direct sunlight.

The adaptive refresh from 1 to 120 hertz brings on its side a nice fluidity at the interface while preserving autonomy. If, however, you are looking for a slightly more compact smartphone, your choice should rather turn to the Xiaomi 13 and its 6.36-inch (16.1 cm diagonal) Amoled screen.
In any case, you will not be disappointed by the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro as the services are high level! The finish is exceptional with a special mention for the ceramic back of the Xiaomi 13 Pro. They are also both IP68 certified against water and dust, they support 5G and even the new Wi-Fi 7.

THE Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro are respectively offered from €999.90. For any pre-order of one of these smartphones, Xiaomi is offering a 43-inch (109 cm diagonal) P1E TV worth €449 until March 7 inclusive. The offer is limited, do not miss it!
