Xiaomi, in collaboration with Leica, recently released its brand new next generation of premium camera phones, the Xiaomi 14 series, on its original shores of China. The Xiaomi and Leica partnership has been ongoing since July 2021, the launch Xiaomi 12S series, and since then, Xiaomi has released 10 smartphones (excluding foldables) with the Leica branding on them. And today, in this guide, we are planning to clear up some confusion on which Leica-branded Xiaomi smartphone has the best camera setup for its users to take photos and videos.

This guide will be ranked based on the versatility of the camera setup, then the lens sported on setup, according to the Leica rating branded on Xiaomi’s camera phones. And now without further ado, here’s the full list of the Leica-branded Xiaomi smartphones from least versatility to most versatility in photography.

Least Versatility

Let’s start with the least versatile Leica-branded Xiaomi camera setups, which are respectively found on the 4 flagships: Xiaomi 13T, Xiaomi 13T Pro, Xiaomi 12S, and Xiaomi 12S Pro. 

All camera systems of the 4 devices sport a camera setup that has a Leica VARIO-SUMMICRON rating, an aspherical lens, and a 15 mm to 50 mm lens range for ultra-wide (15 mm, 0.65x optical), standard (23 mm, 1x optical) and zoom (50 mm, 2.17x optical) shots, with an exception to 12S Pro which has an ultra-wide of 14 mm, 0.61x optical. 

The Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro have a shorter aperture range of f/1.9 to f/2.2, compared to the longer aperture range of f/1.9 to f/2.4 found on the Xiaomi 12S and 12S Pro. Although these 4 devices have the lowest-rated versatility among the 10 Leica-branded Xiaomi smartphones, these devices still sport the same Leica custom photographic styles in their camera interface, Leica’s master-lens system for bokeh photos, as well as the signature Leica Vibrant and Leica Authentic looks to provide the user the choice of either true-to-life photos with their smartphone or the more saturated and punchier look that can be obtained from the device.

Nonetheless, the Xiaomi 13T series and Xiaomi 12S series sport a great camera setup that makes the user want to experiment with their cameras more due to the Leica shooting experience, and for the majority of users, these 4 devices are more than enough for shooting great photos in the outdoors and in the indoors. Not to mention, the Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 12S are currently the cheapest Leica-branded smartphones in the market as of November 2023. Thus, providing the premium Leica shooting experience for those on a lower budget.

Moderate Versatility

Next, we have the 4 smartphones ranked with a moderate versatility ranking in their camera setup, which are respectively the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. 

These devices feature a longer lens range, giving better versatility than the Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 12S. The lens ranges of the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 14 series are respectively ultra-wide (14 mm, 0.61x optical), standard (23 mm, 1x optical), 2x zoom (50 mm, 2.17x optical), and 3x zoom (75 mm, 3.26x optical). The exception is the Xiaomi 13 which goes from 15 – 75 mm instead of the 14 mm – 75 mm found on the other 3 devices.

With a longer lens range, better versatility is provided in the camera setup as photos and videos have less noise at when shot at different focal lengths. In turn, you can take better photos when zooming into your subject, as less camera noise is in the shot. All 4 devices sport an aspherical lens and are able to shoot up to a max f/2.2 aperture for the photos. However, it should be noted that the Xiaomi 13 series uses Leica’s VARIO-SUMMICRON lenses which have a lower aperture range that starts at f/1.8, whereas the Xiaomi 14 series uses the Leica VARIO-SUMMILUX lenses which are known for its wider aperture and outstanding low-light shots in the dark. Thus, the Xiaomi 14 series, like the Xiaomi 14 Pro also has a longer variable aperture range from f/1.42 to f/2.2 for great shots, no matter in low-light or bright lighting conditions.

The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 14 strike a balance between the lineup with its great camera hardware and accessibility towards the buyers. And users will be more satisfied towards these devices over the Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 12S if they want more camera versatility in their pockets.

Most Versatility

Last but not least, the the Leica-branded smartphones with the most versatile camera setup in Xiaomi’s flagship smartphone lineup, are none other than the Xiaomi 12S Ultra and Xiaomi 13 Ultra. 

With the longest lens range out of all the 10 Leica-branded smartphones (13-120 mm and 12-120 mm), these devices are capable of taking photos in ultra-wide (12 mm at 0.52x optical on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra) (13 mm on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra), standard (23 mm, 1x optical), 2x zoom (50 mm, 2.17x optical), 3x zoom (75 mm, 3.26x optical), and 5x periscope zoom (120 mm, 5.22x optical).

With so much versatility between 0.5x ultra-wide to 5x optical zoom shots, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra and Xiaomi 13 Ultra provide unparalleled Leica shots whether near or far away from the subject. Both are the best camera smartphones that Xiaomi has to offer, and probably sport one of the best camera setups in the entire smartphone industry. The aperture range of the Ultra devices is also the biggest range in the Leica-branded lineup, with f/1.9 to f/4.0 on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, and f/1.8 to f/3.0 on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

However, this guide only focuses on the camera rating that Leica has branded on the Xiaomi smartphones. A smartphone is not only for taking photos, but also used for daily tasks such as gaming, checking social media and browsing the Internet. And the newly released Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro sport the world’s fastest chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 onboard.

As the hype for the highly anticipated Xiaomi 14 builds up, a Chinese influencer in the tech circle yesterday accidentally shared and revealed the weight of Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship.

In a deleted Weibo post yesterday, Chinese tech influencer, Chen Zhen, went to the Chinese social media site Weibo to share two cryptic photos showing the weight of an unannounced Android smartphone that will be launching soon in China. Based on the influencer’s post history, it can be assumed that this is supposedly one of the Xiaomi 14 devices, most likely the standard Xiaomi 14. 

The influencer was also one of the culprits last year who leaked details of the Xiaomi 13 flagship days before the launch. As for the deleted Weibo post, it shows that the upcoming device will be available in two weight options: 199.2 g and 194.2 g, supposedly hinting that the device will be available in a PU leather back option and a ceramic glass back option like last year’s Xiaomi 13.

For a comparison of the weights of the upcoming Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 13, we created a table below showing the weight difference.

As shown above, the Xiaomi 14 is heavier than the Xiaomi 13 by about 10 grams. The increased premium heft in weight could be due to a larger camera sensor, a bigger battery or probably the Leica Summilux lens added to the device. Or it could be all of the above and maybe some extra features that will add weight to the build.

Are you excited for the launch of the Xiaomi 14? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to our coverage here at Gizmochina.

Google tested Android 14 for many months and yesterday it finally released the public build to the Pixel users. Following the Big G, Xiaomi has now started rolling out a stable MIUI update based on the latest version of Android. The update is being seeded to the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and Xiaomi 12T for now.

Xiaomi becomes one of the first OEMs to release stable Android 14 updata

This new update brings these devices up to date, superseding their previous internal MIUI builds. Xiaomi 13 users will receive MIUI-V14.0.5.0.UMCMIXM and MIUI-V14.0.5.0.UMCEUXM, while Xiaomi 13 Pro users can expect MIUI-V14.0.5.0.UMBMIXM and MIUI-V14.0.5.0.UMBEUXM. Xiaomi 12T users, on the other hand, will receive MIUI-V14.0.6.0.ULQMIXM and MIUI-V14.0.5.0.ULQEUXM.

Users of the above-mentioned Xiaomi phones should be able to enjoy all the new features Google introduced with Android 14. The new software should bring a lot of personalization options, allowing you to set custom lock screen shortcuts for quick access to your favorite apps. It is also bringing support for HDR images with Ultra HDR which helps your photos look more vibrant.

With Android 14, Google also introduced native spatial audio support, cross-device copy and paste, and a new media player. Privacy and security have been given significant attention as well. Android 14 features Health Connect, a privacy-centric solution that securely stores and encrypts all personal health data directly on your device. In addition, users will receive notifications when apps seek to access their location data for third-party sharing, granting them the ability to deny access to such data.

Android 14 has also improved passkey support, now offering fingerprint authentication capabilities for third-party applications and an updated 6-digit PIN lockscreen option. You also get new accessibility features like improved magnification with pinch-to-zoom and variable magnification sizes.

The post Android 14 based stable MIUI update rolling out to Xiaomi 13 series and Xiaomi 12T appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi is testing the MIUI 15 stable update for the Xiaomi 13, according to a new report by Xiaomiui. This comes a week after Xiaomi suspended MIUI 14 development for several smartphones, including the Xiaomi 13 series.

The company is currently testing the MIUI 15 build “MIUI-V15.0.0.1.UMCCNXM” for the device. This build is being used to optimize the user experience, fix potential problems, and more. 

MIUI 15 is based on Google’s latest Android 14 OS and is expected to offer a new user experience to Xiaomi devices. It focuses on improving security, optimizing performance, and improving the user interface.

Xiaomiui reports that MIUI 15 will shorten application startup time, bring a smoother scrolling experience, and faster multi-tasking operations, improving user efficiency.

Additionally, Xiaomi is also testing the MIUI 15 stable update for the Xiaomi 13 Ultra and Redmi K60 Pro. The build numbers for these devices are MIUI-V15.0.0.1.UMACNXM and MIUI-V15.0.0.1.UMKCNXM, respectively.

This indicates that Xiaomi is making good progress on the development of MIUI 15, and it is likely that the stable update will be released to more Xiaomi devices in the coming months.

For the last few years, Google has been releasing new versions of Android in August. But this year, the search giant didn’t. The next version of Android is now expected to debut alongside the Pixel 8 series in October.

Partner OEMs have been running the Android 14 public beta program for their devices since August. The most notable ones are Oppo, OnePlus, and Xiaomi. All of them kickstarted their initiative in August starting with China.

Recently, OnePlus opened up its Android 14 beta program for global users. Now, even Xiaomi has joined the club.

In China, the Android 14 beta program by Xiaomi only covers Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro. However, for international markets, the company has also included Xiaomi 12T. We already knew that these three devices would be soon receiving the update back in August itself.

As usual, the beta software builds for the aforementioned smartphones are only available for select users. They are being exclusively rolled out to Mi Pilot testers.

Though the firmware files can be downloaded from Xiaomi servers by anyone, they cannot be installed on every device. Because the software build checks for the Xiaomi account, IMEI number, and serial number associated with the testers recruited by the company.

Thus, regular users will have to wait for some time to get their hands on the latest software. It may take weeks or even months after Android 14 goes official.

As for the MIUI version, it is still 14 though we have been hearing about MIUI 15 for a while. The next iteration of MIUI will likely arrive alongside the Xiaomi 14 series in November.

The post Android 14 beta for Xiaomi 13, 13 Pro, & 12T arrives for global markets appeared first on Gizmochina.

Android 14 stable is expected to release this month. Hence, OEMs have begun their public beta programs. Xiaomi is among the first Chinese OEMs to start the initiative alongside Oppo.

As part of the initial batch, the company has only included two devices in the program. And unsurprisingly, the initiative is exclusive to China for now though global ROMs are ready for these phones.

As per the official announcement by Xiaomi, the following smartphones are eligible for Android 14-based MIUI beta builds.

• Xiaomi 13
• Xiaomi 13 Pro

The public beta registrations are live, and selected applicants have already started receiving the latest software via OTA. The beta builds for the handsets mentioned above come with MUI 14, which suggests that MIUI 15 announcement may take some time.

We expect more devices to be added to the beta program in the coming days. Also, there should be global availability as well.

However, we have no information on the stable release timeline. Xiaomi is historically not known for revealing the Android update schedule, unlike the MIUI rollout plan.

Anyways, we are looking forward to hearing more from the company regarding this matter. Also, hopefully, the new update does not cause damage to select phones (especially Poco) like in the past.

Google released the first developer preview of Android 14 in February. Earlier this month, the search giant dropped the first beta.

The company is expected to officially unveil the latest version of Android next week at Google I/O 2023. We are looking forward to the beta program from partner OEMs following the keynote.

Just like in previous years, Xiaomi will be part of the beta program. MIUI codebase reveals that the brand will be releasing Android 14 beta builds for 4 devices.

According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi has started testing Android 14 builds on the following two smartphones and two tablets since April 25.

• Xiaomi 13
• Xiaomi 13 Pro
• Xiaomi Pad 6
• Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro

Next week, the company will likely officially announce the beta program for the general public. However, you will have to be a recruited tester to try out the latest software. The registrations for the recruitment will possibly open post-announcement.

Xiaomi will be accompanied by other OEMs providing Android 14 beta builds for their devices. Most other companies don’t require you to register to try out beta software. You can simply download and install beta builds by following instructions on their official developer/community website.

Android 14 is expected to hit stable in August. OEMs will begin rolling out the update to their eligible smartphones and tablets after that.

Last night, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra was unveiled in China. The company markets it as a camera smartphone since it sports a Leica-powered 50MP quad-camera system with a 1-inch sensor, variable aperture, and more.

The brand also released an accessory set for the phone, which sort of turns the handset into a camera. The camera handle included in this package is apparently compatible with smartphones from other brands.

Some Chinese bloggers managed to use the camera handle included in the Xiaomi 13 Ultra Professional Camera Bundle with multiple other smartphones. MyDrivers reports that this particular accessory in the set can be used with Oppo Find X6 Pro, Vivo X90 Pro Plus, Huawei Mate 50 Pro, and Meizu 20 Pro.

This camera handle features a shutter button and zoom lever. It connects wirelessly with phones via Bluetooth 5.0 and charges via USB Type-C. Bloggers say that it should be compatible with handsets whose width is about the same as Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s (74.6mm).

The first-party accessory bundle for Xiaomi 13 Ultra is priced at ¥799 (~$115). The bundle consists of a leather case, a 67mm filter and its fitting ring, a wireless camera handle, a lens cap, and a lanyard. It’s not known whether this bundle will be sold outside mainland China.

Anyways, it is not recommended for you to buy this accessory to use with your compatible smartphones. Because apart from the wireless camera handle, the other accessories are of no use if you don’t own a Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 13 series globally today, and besides featuring Leica-branded camera setups and the latest Snapdragon processors, the flagship smartphone series will be also receiving Google’s Pixel-Exclusive Magic Eraser, making it the first non-Pixel Android device to have Magic Eraser at launch.

As part of the Xiaomi and Google partnership announcement at MWC Barcelona 2023 today, retail buyers will be able to enjoy Google’s Magic Eraser feature on their latest Xiaomi 13 Pro and standard Xiaomi 13.

After a long while, we are going to have multiple smartphone launches, courtesy of Mobile World Congress 2023. At least four brands are expected to debut multiple new phones.

Unfortunately, most of these handsets are merely making their way to the global markets as they had already gone official in China. Either way, they are new products for most parts of the world.

The announcement of these phones will begin coming Sunday and will last until Wednesday. With that out of the way, let’s take a quick look at the devices that are scheduled to be unveiled in the next few days.

Upcoming Smartphones Next Week

Xiaomi 13 Series

Xiaomi has scheduled to launch the Xiaomi 13 series for global markets on February 26. The event will begin at 4 PM GMT+1. It will be live-streamed on YouTube.

The lineup is expected to include three models, namely Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and Xiaomi 13 Lite. The former two are the same as the ones sold in China. Whereas, the lite variant is actually a rebranded Xiaomi Civi 2 from September.

The regular and pro phones will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, while the lite will house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. The former two will even arrive with Leica-tuned cameras.

The Xiaomi 13, 13 Pro, and 13 Lite are tipped to cost around €999, €1,299, and €499, respectively.

Honor Magic 5 Series and Honor Magic Vs

Honor has planned its event for February 27 at 1:30 PM CET. The brand has confirmed to debut the Honor Magic 5 series and Honor Magic Vs at this conference.

Unlike most handsets, not much is known about the Magic 5 series. The lineup is said to include four devices, such as Honor Magic 5, Honor Magic 5 Pro, Honor Magic 5 Ultimate, and Honor Magic 5 Lite. The first three phones are expected to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, while the last one is said to be powered by a Snapdragon 695 SoC.

On the other hand, the Honor Magic Vs foldable smartphone had already gone official in China in late November. Everything is known about this product.

Realme GT 3

The Relame GT 3 is set to launch in global markets on February 28. The event will start at 4 PM UTC+1 and will be live-streamed on YouTube.

The GT 3 for international markets is nothing but rebranded Realme GT Neo 5 from China. The handset will be available in 150W and 240W charging variants.

The highlights of the device will include a 6.74-inch 10-bit 144Hz AMOLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip, a 50MP Sony IMX890 primary camera, dual stereo speakers, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, infrared sensor, and more.

Vivo V27 Series

The Vivo V27 series will be debuting in India on March 1. It will be announced in a live stream that will start at 12 PM IST.

The lineup will consist of three smartphones, namely Vivo V27, Vivo V27 Pro, and Vivo V27e. These handsets are rebranded versions of the Vivo S16 series sold in China with a few differences.

Like its predecessors, the Vivo V27 series is all about design and selfie cameras. However, unlike the previous models, the upcoming devices will also come with flagship-killer chipsets, such as MediaTek Dimensity 8200 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 870.

Earlier today, Lei Jun officially confirmed that there won’t be Xiaomi 13S series later this year. Followed by the announcement, a reliable leaker revealed that the company will not be releasing a MediaTek Dimensity version of Xiaomi 13 phones as well.

For the uninitiated, Xiaomi released the Xiaomi 12S series last year with Leica-tuned cameras and a better chip than in the original models. These handsets were accompanied by Xiaomi 12S Ultra.  At the same time, the brand had also debuted a Dimensity variant of Xiaomi 12 Pro.

There were rumors of a Dimensity model of the Xiaomi 13 series a few months back. However, just as the lineup went official, the leaks about this other version of the handset subdued.

Now, Digital Chat Station discloses that the Dimenisty variant of the Xiaomi 13 series was canceled at the end of 2022. However, he hints at the launch of the Redmi K60 Ultra with a Dimensity chipset in the second half of 2023.

Historically, the Redmi K Ultra models have mostly featured MediaTek’s flagship chips. Hence, this rumored device could be an alternative for those waiting for the canceled Xiaomi 13 Dimensity version.

Last year’s Xiaomi 12 Pro Dimensity Edition debuted at a cheaper price than the original Xiaomi 12 Pro. That’s because it not only comes with a less-expensive Dimensity 9000 Plus chipset but also downgraded cameras and slower charging speed.

Xiaomi has just announced the official launch date for the Xiaomi 13 series in the Malaysian market. The company is planning on releasing its latest generation of flagship smartphones around the end of this month.

As per official notes, the 13 series launch in Malaysia will be set ahead of its global release. Furthermore, the premium handset lineup will also be releasing on 27th February 2023 in the Southeast Asian region, which is just a day after the brand begins its global live stream in MWC 2023 event in Barcelona. For those unaware, the series consists of Xiaomi 13 and the higher end Xiaomi 13 Pro, both of which feature the Leica branding on the camera.

Although, there are also rumors that the Chinese tech giant is planning on introducing the Xiaomi 13 Lite model as well during the major event in Barcelona. For those unaware, the 13 Lite model in question is believed to be a rebranded version of the Civi 2. Keep in mind that the brand has yet to officially confirm that they are working on such a budget friendly handset. But this model will likely miss out on a number of high end specifications and features that it more expensive siblings offer.

The Xiaomi 13 series will be officially launching globally on 26 February 2023 at 11PM (local time) and will be released in the Malaysian market on 27 February 2023 around 2PM. Unfortunately, the pricing for the device has yet to be announced, so stick around for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

Xiaomi is all set to launch the Xiaomi 13 lineup of smartphones globally. The devices will be launched through the MWC Barcelona 2023 event. However, quite a long time has passed since the official launch of the Xiaomi 13 series in the Chinese market and users were eagerly waiting for the Chinese launch of the Xiaomi 13S series. However, a company official has confirmed that they don’t have any plan to launch the Xiaomi 13S series. The market will directly see the launch of the Xiaomi 14 lineup.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun recently stated on Weibo that the business has no plans for a half-generation upgrade for the Xiaomi 13, implying that there would be no Xiaomi 13s series. To keep up with the newest trends and deliver new features to consumers, Xiaomi often releases a half-generation upgrade to their devices. These upgrades are typically denoted by an “s” following the original model number, such as Xiaomi 12S. However, Xiaomi has opted to break from this trend in order to provide a more stable and consistent user experience.

According to Lei Jun, the Xiaomi 13 has already gotten positive feedback, and the company feels it is still relevant in the market. Instead of introducing a half-generation upgrade, Xiaomi will concentrate on upgrading the current model and giving users a better experience.

Furthermore, Xiaomi’s approach could signal a wider shift in the smartphone business. With the cost of flagship gadgets rising year after year, many users are looking for devices that can meet their demands for several years. Xiaomi may be setting the standard for this new trend by focusing on giving a better user experience through software updates. While some Xiaomi fans may be disappointed by this announcement, it’s important to remember that this move will boost the Xiaomi 13’s overall user experience. Instead of debating whether to switch to the most recent model, customers can be confident that their current gadget will continue to receive software updates.

Lastly, some fans may be disappointed by Xiaomi’s decision not to provide a half-generation upgrade for the Xiaomi 13 and the absence of a Xiaomi 13s series. That is, however, a wise move that will help the organization in providing a more stable and consistent user experience. That concludes this post. Thank you for sticking with me until the end.

Just a while back, the Xiaomi 13 series was officially announced in the Chinese market. However, the company might be planning on releasing these models for the global regions soon, along with the unveiling of its premium flagship model, the 13S Ultra as well.

Earlier today (10th January 2023), the Chinese tech giant announced that the Xiaomi 13 series, which includes the base and higher end Pro variant, will launch globally during the MWC 2023 event. For those unaware, MWC or Mobile World Congress is a major conference where various brands take the stage to announce their new products, mainly smartphones and related technologies. This The upcoming event will also be hosted in Barcelona.

The company recently shared a teaser image poster, in which revealed the brand revealed that it plans to announce new technologies during MWC 2023 Barcelona. However, Xiaomi didn’t clearly specify what these new technologies actually are. Although, it is also rumored that the company will be announcing its Ultra model as well during this event. For those unaware, the brand usually releases a new flagship phone later in the year following the release of its high end numbered series of smartphones.

Last year, it was the Xiaomi 12S Ultra that was unveiled after the 12 series release. So we can expect the 13S Ultra to launch as its successor. This model will likely feature a new Leica camera technology, which was the focus of the last gen phone. Finer details are still unclear, although, we can expect the device to feature 120Hz or 144Hz refresh rate display, Android 13 OS out of the box, possibly Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

The post Xiaomi 13 series global launch & Xiaomi 13S Ultra announcement could be during MWC 2023 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Motorola did not wait for 2023 to launch its new generation flagship: the Moto X40. The new phone brings the latest Qualcomm chipset, blazing charging speeds, and even a good camera department at an affordable price in the Chinese market. A few days earlier, Xiaomi launched the new Xiaomi 13 series in the Chinese market, including the vanilla Xiaomi 13 with compact dimensions but flagship-class hardware. We believe these two phones are perfect rivals of each other. That is the reason why we decided to publish a comparison between the specifications of the Motorola Moto X40 and the Xiaomi 13. Here you will learn which one is the best for your actual needs.

Xiaomi 13 vs Motorola Moto X40

Design

The design of the Motorola Moto X40 looks very good. First of all, it is built with premium materials: glass for the back and aluminum for the frame. It is also waterproof and dustproof with the IP68 certification, and it has a curved screen with a very high screen to body ratio. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 13 has a very original design and premium materials as well, with a glass back and an aluminum frame. This phone is waterproof as well with the IP68 certification, and it has a flat display instead of a curved one. I personally prefer the Xiaomi 13 because it is more compact, but the curved display of the Motorola Moto X40 makes it more elegant.

Display

The most interesting display is definitely the one found on the Motorola Moto X40. First of all, it has a wider panel, with a diagonal of 6.7 inches. Further, it is an OLED display showing up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, an awesome 165 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ certification. An in-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers are not missing. The Xiaomi 13 is equipped with an OLED display showing images with a 6.36-inch diagonal, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint reader. It has stereo speakers just like its rival and it adds an infrared sensor allowing you to use it as a remote control for your TV.

Specs & Software

The Xiaomi 13 and the Motorola Moto X40 provide you with the same flagship-class hardware department. They are fueled by the octa-core Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture. The chipset is composed of a Cortex X3 performance core running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz, two Cortex A715 cores running at 2.8 GHz, two Cortex A710 cores running at 2.8 GHz, three Cortex A510 cores running at 2 GHz, and an Adreno 740 GPU. 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 on these devices is Android 13, with highly customized user interfaces on top.

Camera

If you are looking for the best cameras, then you should choose the Motorola Moto X40. Both come with a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, but the Motorola Moto X40 has a better 50 MP ultrawide camera and a better 60 MP selfie shooter. On the other hand, with the Xiaomi 13, you can get better zoom capabilities thanks to a telephoto lens with 3.2x optical zoom.

Battery

Despite its bigger dimensions, the battery of the Motorola Moto X40 is not much bigger than the battery of the Xiaomi 13. It has a capacity of 4600 mAh and, given that the Xiaomi 13 sports a bigger display, it should not be superior in terms of battery life. But it charges quicker thanks to 125W fast charging, while the Xiaomi flagship has a faster wireless charging tech with a power of 50W instead of just 15W.

Price

Motorola Moto X40 starts from $483/€450, while the Xiaomi 13 begins at $590/€550. The prices are referred to the Chinese market as these phones are still not launched globally. Which one would you pick?

Compact flagships are becoming every day rarer and the most recent ones have bigger dimensions if compared to the older ones. But they still exist and they boast amazing performances. The latest one released is the Xiaomi 13, with the same hardware department as the Pro variant, but with inferior cameras, a smaller battery, and a smaller display. There is one single device that can be considered the best rival of this phone, at least until the release of the Samsung Galaxy S23. Naturally, we are referring to the iPhone 14 by Apple. Here you can find a comparison between the main specifications of the iPhone 14 and the Xiaomi 13.

Xiaomi 13 vs Apple iPhone 14

Design

It is very hard to compete with an icon. A lot of people will prefer the design of the iPhone 14 as it is iconic and sports great build quality. The handset is made with a glass back and an aluminum frame, it has the classic notch and the classic camera module of the latest iPhones, as well as better water resistance: with its IP68 certification, it is able to go up to 6 meters deep underwater without damage. Last but not least, it is more compact than the Xiaomi 13 because it has a smaller display. With the Xiaomi 13, you actually get a new design including a flat display with a very high screen to body ratio, a glass back, and an aluminum frame. It has the IP68 certification, but its water resistance is inferior as it is able to go just 1.5 meters deep without damage.

Display

The Xiaomi 13’s display looks more interesting, even though you can actually get a better color reproduction with the iPhone 14. It sports an OLED panel with a wider diagonal of 6.36 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The Apple iPhone 14 has a Super Retina XDR OLED display with a diagonal of 6.1 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1170 x 2532 pixels, Dolby Vision support, and HDR10 certification, but its refresh rate is standard, with just 60 Hz.

Specs & Software

If we consider the performance of these two phones, the most important role is not played by the hardware but the operating system. They both feature flagship-class hardware departments, but the iPhone 14 is able to perform better because the iOS operating system has better optimization, even though the phone has inferior hardware. This said the iPhone 14 is equipped with an Apple A15 Bionic chipset running at a max frequency of 3.23 GHz, 6 GB of RAM, and up to 512 GB of native storage. With the Xiaomi 13, you can get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz, up to 12 GB of RAM, and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 native storage.

Camera

The Xiaomi 13 is equipped with better cameras on the rear side. It has a triple rear camera including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, a 10 MP telephoto shooter with 3.2x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide lens. Unfortunately, the iPhone 14 lacks a telephoto sensor: it only has a pair of 12 MP sensors, including the main camera and an ultrawide one.

Battery

The battery found on the Xiaomi 13 is much bigger if compared to the one found on the iPhone 14 by Apple: we are talking about a capacity of 4500 mAh against just 3279 mAh. However, the difference is not huge in terms of battery life because iOS 16 has better optimization in terms of energy consumption. However, there is a huge difference in the charging speeds because the Xiaomi 13 supports 67W fast charging and 50W fast wireless charging.

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi 13 in China roughly translates into $584 or €550 at the actual change, while the iPhone 14 starts from $790 or €744. Which one would you choose?

The new Xiaomi 13 Series is finally official and it contains the main Xiaomi flagships for 2023, but it is already available to purchase in the Chinese market. For now, it only includes two variants: the Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro. They are both flagship phones, even though there is only one Pro variant. But what changes between them? If you focus on each of their specifications, you will notice several differences, and we are here to list them. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro that will help you to understand which one suits your needs the most.

Xiaomi 13 vs Xiaomi 13 Pro

Design

The designs of these two phones are not so different from each other, but there are two important differences that will change a lot of people’s choices. The first regards the dimensions: the vanilla Xiaomi 13 is one of the most compact flagship phones released this year because it has a smaller display than average. The second difference is the curvature of the screen: the Pro variant has a curved display at the sides, while the vanilla version has a flat display. For the rest, these two devices are very similar, but you should consider that the Pro comes in a special color option with a ceramic back looking more gorgeous than the vanilla version due to its better materials. Both phones are the first flagships from the brand to sport the IP68 certification making them waterproof and dustproof.

Display

One of the main differences between the Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro is the display. The Pro variant has a better OLED panel able to show 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 with the LTPO technology, Dolby Vision support, and HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint scanner. With the vanilla version, you get not only a display with smaller dimensions (the diagonal is 6.36 inches) but also inferior specifications. It is an OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. These phones are equipped with stereo speakers, but they do not have a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Specs & Software

The processors found on these two devices are exactly the same. We are talking about the brand new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform by Qualcomm built with a 4 nm production process. It is an octa-core chipset composed of a Cortex X3 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz, two Cortex A715 CPUs running at 2.8 GHz, two Cortex A710 cores running at 2.8 GHz, and three Cortex A510 cores running at 2 GHz, as well as an Adreno 740 GPU. Alongside the chipset, there are up to 12 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 internal storage. The phones ship with Android 13 out of the box, customized by MIUI 14.

Camera

The main pro of the Xiaomi 13 Pro is definitely the camera department because all of its rear sensors co-engineered with Leica are superior. It has a 50.3 MP main camera with laser autofocus and OIS, a 50 MP telephoto lens with 3.2x optical zoom, and a 50 MP ultrawide shooter. The vanilla version has a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3.2x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide shooter.

Battery

The battery of the Xiaomi 13 Pro is bigger, with a capacity of 4820 mAh. However, this does not mean it will always have a longer battery life, because this phone has a less efficient display. But it charges faster thanks to 120W fast charging.

Price

The Xiaomi 13 Pro starts from $900/€848 in the Chinese market, while the vanilla version starts from $584/€550. Which one would you pick?

The post Xiaomi 13 vs Xiaomi 13 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Before we start the unboxing, I will tell you the final conclusion right now: I love this phone. And the Xiaomi 13 Standard Edition is the most satisfying Xiaomi phone I’ve ever had. For most people, it is also the best Xiaomi phone to buy. I even think it has more appeal than the Xiaomi 12S Ultra and 13 Pro.

If you’re willing to listen to why I like the Xiaomi 13 so much, then I’d be happy to tell you what’s so great about it.

DESIGN

Now phones have been put in more and more stuff, the body has to be bigger and bigger. The largest regular phone has reached 7-inches, if you count the foldable phone then the number will be even like 8 inches. I often miss the old days when the phone could be controlled with one hand. When the mobile phone becomes no longer mobile, then more features also become meaningless. It’s embarrassing to think that it’s difficult to find a small-sized phone these days. It’s especially hard when you’re also trying to find a flagship small phone that doesn’t have shortcomings. I’ve put together the numbers of a few compact phones that look good right now, and blue one is their cons. It’s easy to see that the Xiaomi 13 really has no shortcomings. It’s a bigger phone than the other phones, even a little bigger than the Xiaomi 12. But it perfectly balances size and functionality. That’s the main reason why I like the Xiaomi 13: phones that are better than it, aren’t as small as it. Phones that are smaller than it, not as well as it.

Why would I choose white over blue vegan leather. Look at my Xiaomi 12S Ultra that I’ve been using for less than six months. Maybe the footage isn’t visible enough. The leather texture in the four corners has been smoothed out. If you don’t want your phone to look like this, then get the glass version. Because of the small size and light weight, fingerprints are more downward, but does not affect the feel much when holding it.

In the unboxing video for the Xiaomi 13 series, some viewers guessed that it was still USB 2.0. Congratulations, you guessed right. This is the nightmare for Xiaomi users the whole life.

Like you guys, I think the Xiaomi 13 must have referenced the iPhone and Samsung. You can say the Xiaomi is copycat, but I don’t think it’s ugly, I even think it’s kind of pretty. Especially the screen. When you light up the screen, you can feel the beauty of it without me saying anything more. The screen, which is almost equal in width on all four sides, puts me in a happy mood every time I use the phone. If there is no front camera, I think it is the best looking screen in the world.

Some people will ask: why don’t you buy Samsung S22? Haha, see Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, do you think I still want to buy it? In addition to the excellent bezel width, other specs are also very powerful. This Samsung E6 panel ensures high brightness while DC dimming is not missing. Adaptive colors, or “True Tone” on the iPhone, are also available. Some people complain that the standard version doesn’t have 2K resolution, but the Xiaomi 13 the display DPI is actually 414, which is sharper than most FHD+ phones. Using 2K resolution on a small phone can also bring down battery life, so the display is really good for just the right amount of time.

PERFORMANCE & GAMING

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, LPDDR5X and UFS 4.0, the latest chips are of course there. The throttling test also shows that it can keep the performance stable for a long time, so it seems that the 8 Gen 2 has really improved a lot.

Smaller phones are usually not very good at gaming because of their size limits. But the Xiaomi 13 is an exception. Maybe it’s the new 8 Gen 2 that’s so great, or maybe the cooling system is so nice. Anyway, it does well in Genshin Impact, running around Sumeru can’t stress it out anymore. There were lags during the game, all caused by loading textures. To test how long it takes for Xiaomi 13 to overheat, I followed it up with 25 minutes on Spiral Abyss floor 12, and it still held up. Oh, and the frame drops in the middle were caused by loading, not lagging. The temperature after 45 minutes of intense gaming is also only 45°C.

All in all, it has no problem handling games. But I still don’t recommend it for long term gaming, because the screen is really small. If you have big hands, it will be more difficult to play.

Compared to the Pro version, the standard version seems to have a less surprising camera system. It does have an average camera performance, but because of this 75mm telephoto lens, it stands out from the crowd of small sized phones. The reason I used to have to use big and heavy flagship phones is that I love telephoto lenses. And most of my photography is taken with telephoto. Now that the Xiaomi 13 also has a 3.2x telephoto and is equipped with OIS, then I can use it with no worries. But don’t get me wrong, I mean an extra telephoto will allow you to compose more angles compared to other compact phones. But the image quality is definitely not as good as flagship phones.

When the light is bad, as long as you zoom in on the picture, there is very little detail and all are sharpening traces. Just like the S22, it really can’t put a bigger sensor. So let’s give it a pass.

CAMERA

Compared to the Xiaomi 12S, the 13’s main camera is a step backwards. Although the sensor is smaller, the performance is not much of a step back. Most of the performance is okay, both day and night. I only have two complaints, one is the purple-fringing issue, which is not very well controlled. Another is that the color is a bit strange. Even though we were using the Leica Vibrant mode, the colors were always very dull. The too-intense colors look even worse in the samples taken on cloudy days. These two problems are even worse on the ultra-wide camera. So I’m actually not satisfied with the ultra-wide camera.

But then again, if I am given two options, a telephoto plus a good main camera, or a very good main camera plus a macro lens, I would definitely choose the former. Users of smaller phones must know what they need, because most of the time they are not able to have both.

You should not expect anything from the Xiaomi phone front camera. Except for the Civi series, they all perform pretty much the same. Although the photos look good and rich in detail. But the video performance is really not good. Not only is the 4k resolution missing, but it doesn’t even support 60fps. If you pay more attention to the recording of the front camera, then we recommend you to buy other phones.

All three lenses support different recording specs. The main camera supports up to 8k 24fps and OIS+EIS. the footage also looks the best, stable and clear. The ultra-wide camera supports up to 4k 30fps, which is also good. But the picture does not look so clear. The telephoto camera supports up to 1080P 60fps. only in 1080P 30fps can switch the lens during recording.

BATTERY & CHARGING

67w fast charging and 4500mAh battery, does it sound familiar? Yes, this classic combination is once again found in the Xiaomi 13. I have no complaints about the charging power, 67w is also fast and there is also 50w wireless charging. Plugged in and fully charged in just 41 minutes.

4500mAh is big for a phone of this size, and in actual use it feels about the same as my 12S Ultra, which lasts 5 to 6 hours. Because of the new processor being more power efficient and the smaller screen, it already lasts about the same amount of time as many 6.8 inch phones. One less factor to stop you from buying a smaller phone, isn’t it?

After a few days of use, MIUI 14 has no lags or bugs. Their claim of improving the smoothness of the new system seems to be working so far. No matter how fast your operation is, it doesn’t lag. I don’t know if older Xiaomi phones will be smoother with the MIUI 14 upgrade, but at least with my Xiaomi 13, MIUI 14 is definitely smooth enough.

There are relatively few new features in 14, one of which is the new icon customization feature. Some icons can change shape, but some can’t. The new folders also open the applications inside of it from the outside.  Obviously, MIUI 14 also borrows some features from other systems. But it doesn’t matter to consumers, as long as it works, it’s fine. The biggest upgrade of MIUI 14 should still be this: you can delete most of the system applications. Those apps that you never use can finally be uninstalled. Even the album, weather, can be uninstalled. You can keep only 8 apps, it’s very crazy for MIUI.

When Xiaomi 13 was released, I was very happy because Xiaomi almost created my dream phone. It fits my hand perfectly and didn’t lose important features. Especially the screen, until the S23 was released, I thought the Xiaomi 13 was the best small size flagship in Android. I will also keep my SIM card in this phone all the time, waiting for the next phone to come along that will fascinate me so much.

Xiaomi recently introduced the Xiaomi 13 series, which includes the Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro. While both phones feature impressive specifications, there has been some discussion around the choice of screen for the Xiaomi 13 Pro. While the Xiaomi 13 features a flat-screen, the Xiaomi 13 Pro has a curved screen. Some have questioned this choice, and CEO Lei Jun has addressed these concerns.

Lei Jun: The curved screen choice on Xiaomi 13 Pro for a sleek look

According to Lei Jun, the decision to use a curved screen on the Xiaomi 13 Pro was due to the fact that a flat-screen would have made the phone too thick. He stated that a flat screen would have made the top-tier flagship “too thick” and “you wouldn’t like it.” While Lei Jun did not specify how a flat screen would have impacted the thickness of the phone, it is possible that he was referring to the feel of the phone in the hand rather than the actual physical thickness of the device.

In terms of specifications, the Xiaomi 13 Pro features a 6.73-inch 2K resolution (3200×1440) screen with a new generation Samsung E6 light-emitting material, peak brightness of 1900nit, support for HDR10+, 10bit, and a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It is also a professional original color screen, with a JNCD of approximately 0.21 and a Delta E of approximately 0.28. In terms of thickness, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is generally thicker than the Xiaomi 13. Many factors can impact the thickness of a phone, including battery capacity and camera size.

Overall, the choice to use a curved screen on the 13 Pro was likely made in order to maintain a slim and sleek design for the top-tier flagship phone. While some may prefer the feel of a flat display, the curved screen on the 13 Pro offers a unique and premium look and feel. Ultimately, the choice between a curved or flat screen is a personal preference and will depend on the individual user’s needs and preferences.

Earlier this month, Xiaomi launched its flagship smartphones — Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro, powered by the newly announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

Along with the regular White, Black, Green, and Light Blue color options, the company has also revealed five limited-edition custom colors, which include Flame Red, Sapphire Blue, Hurricane Yellow, Jungle Green, and Cement Gray.

With the Xiaomi 13 series launch being just around the corner, the company has been sharing numerous teasers leading up to its announcement. Now, the latest one comes from the company’s Founder and CEO himself. So let’s have a look.

According to the Chinese tech giant’s CEO, Lei Jun, the upcoming flagship smartphones can run Genshin Impact at max settings without any issues. For those unaware, Genshin Impact is a cross platform title that runs on both smartphones and PCs. So it is quite intensive for a handheld device. However, the senior official claims that the device can run the game at full 60 frames per second without overheating or facing any throttling issues.

Typically whenever a device starts running hot, the chipset automatically begins reducing performance to ensure there is no thermal related damage to its system. But, the Xiaomi 13 can run the game without going past 43° Celsius. This is true even if it is being charged when gaming. At the same time, even the brightness of the screen is not lowered during the gaming test that the brand had conducted.

In other words, the Xiaomi 13 series is shaping up to be a great smartphone for gaming as well, since Genshin Impact is a great benchmark of an intensive mobile game. The smooht performance from the device is also thanks to the fact that it is equipped with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. This is the latest flagship chipset from the chipmaking giant and offers various improvements over its predecessors.

Xiaomi had recently announced that it will be launching its latest generation of flagship smartphones on December 11. And earlier today (8th December 2022), the company released a new Xiaomi 13 series teaser, which showcases some interesting new features.

According to the official teaser, the Chinese tech giant’s new 13 lineup will feature a new nano skin technology. This is a new material that the brand is using for the rear panel of its upcoming premium grade devices. The nano skin technology basically makes the device easier to clean, as the panel is more resistant to dust and colors. The teaser image shows the Xiaomi 13 series model being covered in paint to showcase this aspect.

In an official teaser video, we can see that the devices are covered with various different kinds of paint and colors, including spray paint as well. Although, simply wiping it clear with a paper towel managed to remove all the different kinds of colors. This is basically a one stop solution to removing any issues regarding dirt or discoloration of a rear panel of the smartphone. In other words, the design of the Xiaomi 13 series doesn’t just focus on aesthetics alone but also serves a useful function as well.

For those unaware, the Xiaomi 13 series is set to feature Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, with the Pro model sporting a 50 megapixel 1 inch sensor and a 75mm Leica telelphoto lens as well.

So stick around for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information regarding this matter.
