Design

Both Xiaomi 13 Pro and Google Pixel 7 Pro have an original design, but the latter is definitely more interesting. It does not look like the iPhones at all and it comes with a unique horizontal camera module. The phone is made with a glass back and an aluminum frame, and it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. It also comes with a very high screen to body ratio and a centrally-placed punch hole. With the Xiaomi 13 Pro, you get a curved display at the sides, as well as a special color option with a ceramic back. If we consider this color option, I would prefer it to the Pixel, but for the remaining ones, the Google phone looks more interesting to me. Do you agree or do you have a different idea?

Display

The displays of these two phones are more or less at the same level, so you would better focus on the other specifications. These are amazing displays, among the best ones you can get on a phone. The Xiaomi 13 Pro has an OLED panel with a diagonal of 6.73 inches, one billion colors, LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. With the Google Pixel 7 Pro, you get an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate with the LTPO technology, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

The hardware setup of the Xiaomi 13 Pro is definitely better if compared to the Google Pixel 7 Pro. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture. It is composed of a Cortex X3 performance core running at 3.2 GHz, two Cortex A715 cores running at 2.8 GHz, two Cortex A710 cores running at 2.8 GHz, and three Cortex A510 cores running at 2 GHz. Alongside the chipset, there are up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. Unfortunately, the Google Pixel 7 Pro has an inferior chipset: we are talking about the Tensor G2, nothing more than a rebrand of the latest Exynos. The memory configuration is the same. Both phones ship with Android 13, but the Pixel will get more updates and for a longer time.

Camera

On the paper, the Xiaomi 13 Pro looks to have a superior camera department, with three 50 MP cameras co-engineered with Leica. But the Google Pixel 7 Pro is amazing too with its triple camera composed of a 50 MP main sensor, a 48 MP telephoto lens, and a 12 MP ultrawide shooter. Which one will shoot the best photos?

Battery

The Google Pixel 7 Pro is equipped with a bigger battery and it will most likely last more on a single charge in several scenarios: the battery capacity is 5000 mAh. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 13 Pro charges a lot quicker thanks to 120W fast charging and 50W wireless charging.

Price

The Google Pixel 7 Pro starts from $680/€641, while the Xiaomi 13 Pro starts from $899/€848 (prices vary depending on the market). Which one would you pick?
