Xiaomi 13 Ultra debuted earlier this year in China and recently made its way to the global market, starting with Hong Kong. All the marketing material and reviews of the smartphone will tell you it has great cameras, and that’s mostly correct. However, it turns out that the 13 Ultra is not good enough to be DXOMARK’s best cameraphone. In fact, it doesn’t even rank in the top 10.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra is DXOMARK’s 14th best cameraphone, falls behind iPhone 14 Pro, Pixel 7 Pro

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra has impressed users and reviewers alike with its versatile camera system. We took our own time to test the device’s cameras and were equally impressed, noting that it can even compete head-to-head with smaller cameras like the RICOH GR series. This sentiment is echoed by tech publishers worldwide. However, it appears that DXOMARK is not nearly as impressed as everyone else.

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra, despite being touted by Xiaomi as the pinnacle of mobile imaging, falls short in DXOMARK’s rankings. With an overall score of 140, it lands in the 14th position, tied with the Pixel 7, Galaxy S23 Ultra, and the Vivo X90 Pro Plus. This places it behind other top contenders such as the Google Pixel 7 Pro (6th), Huawei P60 Pro (holding the 1st place), Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max (8th), and even last year’s iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max (11th).

What we found astounding is that Xiaomi 13 Ultra ranks even lower than the Mi 11 Ultra from two years ago. To remind you, Xiaomi 13 Ultra boasts an impressive camera setup, featuring four 50 MP lenses. The primary camera utilizes the Sony IMX989 sensor, while the ultra-wide-angle and two telephoto cameras make use of three IMX858 sensors.

In its testing, DXOMARK noted several issues with the smartphone’s cameras. This includes a noticeable delay between pressing the shutter button and the device capturing an image. More issues are listed in the image below along with the merits.
