Design

The Xiaomi 13 Pro came to the market with an interesting new design. One of its color options is built with very premium materials, including a ceramic back and an aluminum frame. Further, this is the first flagship from the company with the IP68 certification: it is a waterproof and dustproof phone. It comes with a curved display at the sides, a high screen to body ratio, and a slightly more compact design compared to its rival. However, the Vivo X90 Pro remains a very beautiful phone. It is built with glass and aluminum, it has a curved screen and it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. Both phones feature an IR sensor allowing you to use them as a remote.

Display

The display of the Xiaomi 13 Pro looks better than the one found on the Vivo X90 Pro. It is an OLED display showing up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.73 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The Vivo X90 Pro sports an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.78 inches, an 1.5K resolution of 1260 x 2800 pixels, one billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. It is an inferior panel in terms of resolution, but you will hardly notice the difference: both are great displays.

Specs & Software

These two phones come with different processors, but they have similar performances because they are equipped with two processors at the same level. The Vivo X90 Pro has the Dimensity 9200 chipset built at 4 nm and sporting an octa-core architecture with a max frequency of 3.05 GHz. Alongside the chipset, there are up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 native storage. The operating system installed is Android 13, customized by Funtouch OS on the global market and Origin OS in China. With the Xiaomi 13 Pro, you get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform built at 4 nm, with an octa-core architecture and a max frequency of 3.2 GHz, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 of native storage. Android 13 is customized by MIUI 14.

Camera

The Xiaomi 13 Pro looks to have slightly better camera hardware. The most important difference is the ultrawide shooter: a 50 MP sensor, definitely better than the one found on the Vivo X90 Pro. Even the telephoto sensor looks better as it reaches 3.2x optical zoom instead of just 2x.

Battery

The biggest battery is the one found on the Vivo X90 Pro, but only by a slight margin: 4870 mAh instead of 4820 mAh. The charging speeds are more or less the same because both phones support 120W fast charging as well as 50W wireless charging.

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi 13 Pro in the Chinese market roughly translates to $900/€955, while the Vivo X90 Pro starts from $800/€849. However, you should consider that the base variant of the X90 Pro has an 8/256 GB memory configuration, while the Xiaomi 13 Pro has a base configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage. Which one would you pick?
