It’s been many months since the Xiaomi 13 series debuted and there is still some time before the Xiaomi 14 smartphones are unveiled. However, it’s about time for the company’s premium mid-range Xiaomi 13T series. This new lineup includes the Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro, both of which are confirmed to launch on September 25th in an event taking place in Berlin.
Both models will bring solid specifications for the price but the Pro model is destined to be particularly enticing. And it also happens to be the focus of this roundup. We already gathered all the details of the standard Xiaomi 13T in a previous post.
Design and Display
Xiaomi is bringing notable design changes to the Xiaomi 13T Pro. Based on leaked images, the back of the smartphone is expected to be made of glass or leather, with a square camera module in the top left corner. The smartphone looks more refined and more premium as compared to the Xiaomi 12T Pro. But looks can be subjective so we’ll leave that decision to you. The Xiaomi 13T Pro is said to arrive in Black and Blue, with the first color being under a glass panel while the second being part of a vegan leather design.
The smartphone closely resembles the design of the Redmi K60 Ultra. In fact, rumors suggest that it is the same phone with a different name. Since the K60 Ultra is limited to China, it’s fortunate that we are getting it in the global market in some form.
Anyways, the Xiaomi 13T Pro gets a flat display on the front with a punch-hole selfie camera cutout in the top center. The screen is expected to be the 6.67” OLED with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 1220p resolution. For comparison, the Xiaomi 12T Pro debuted with the same 6.67” display, featuring a lower 120Hz refresh rate.
Other Specifications
The Xiaomi 13T Pro is expected to come with some notable hardware under the hood. For starters, the handset could be powered by the Dimensity 9200+ chip. This is a flagship SoC from MediaTek based on TSMC’s NP4 node. It brings one fast Cortex-X3 core with up to 3.05 GHz, three A715 cores with up to 2.85 GHz, and four power-efficiency cores (Cortex-A510) clocked at up to 1.8 GHz.
The handset is likely to be offered in a choice between 12GB or 16GB of RAM and diverse storage options, including 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB. Keeping the lights on will be a 5,000mAh battery, which is said to support 120W fast charging. We don’t expect to see wireless charging support on the Xiaomi 13T Pro. However, the handset is supposed to be IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 min).
The Xiaomi 13T Pro’s camera will be Leica-branded and is expected to feature a 50MP main sensor with a Sony IMX707 sensor, a 50MP telephoto camera with up to 3x optical zoom, and a 13MP ultrawide-angle camera. The front-facing camera will remain at 20MP, the same as the Redmi K60 Ultra. In other words, the only changes to the camera system are on the back of the phone.
Expected Pricing
The Xiaomi 13T Pro’s price is likely to be similar to the last year’s model. The top-end Xiaomi 12T Pro, which offers 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, is currently listed in Europe for approximately 719 euros. Rumors are indicating that the Xiaomi 13T Pro will be priced at €900 for the 12GB + 512GB configuration option. We will undoubtedly learn all the details on the day of the launch. Stay tuned for updates.
