Xiaomi Unveils the Xiaomi 13T Series with Exceptional Camera Capabilities
Xiaomi has just unveiled its latest Xiaomi 13T series during its Berlin event. This series comprises two smartphones, the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro, which have been co-engineered in partnership with Leica, promising exceptional camera capabilities, even described by the company as “masterpiece” quality. Both the 13T and 13T Pro boast a camera setup that includes a 50MP wide-angle lens with OIS from Leica, a 50MP Leica 2x Telephoto Lens, a Leica 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 20MP front-facing selfie camera. Xiaomi’s 13T series offers two distinct photographic styles: the Leica Authentic Look for a natural appearance and the Leica Vybrant Look, which adds vibrant colors.
Additionally, Xiaomi introduces Leica’s custom photographic styles, enabling users to create their own unique photographic style. For video enthusiasts, the Xiaomi 13T Pro introduces 10-bit LOG capabilities, offering enhanced post-production color editing options.
In terms of design, the Xiaomi 13T series features a leather-like finish (only the blue variant) and curved edges, with a focus on eco-friendly materials in its construction. Color options include Black, Meadow Green, and Alpine Blue. Both the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro carry an IP68 rating, which means they are dustproof and can withstand immersion in water up to a certain depth.
Exceptional Display and Performance
The phones feature a 6.7-inch CrystalRes display with thin bezels, offering up to 2600 peak brightness for optimal outdoor visibility. The devices support a 144Hz refresh rate, ideal for smooth web browsing, gaming, and video playback.
