The wait for the HyperOS 3 update for Xiaomi 13T users has been painfully long. The official rollout went live in October 2025, starting with premium models, and by March 2026, it had already been released for most of the eligible devices, but the Xiaomi 13T wasn’t lucky. The wait has finally come to an end, as the device has just started to pick up the stable HyperOS 3 update, which brings Xiaomi HyperIsland, major system refinements, upgraded visuals, and a new security patch, alongside plenty of other changes.

It should be noted that the HyperOS 3 update rolling out to Xiaomi 13T is based on the latest Android 16 OS. It’s currently rolling out in Indonesia with the firmware version OS3.0.1.0.WMFIDXM, as reported by XimiTime. Users in other regions should expect to receive the update in the coming days.

HyperOS 3 is a major upgrade for Xiaomi devices, and so is the update package size. For the Xiaomi 13T, the update package weighs about 6.5 GB. It’s better to download such substantial packages over a stable Wi-Fi connection. Also, ensure that your Xiaomi device is charged to at least 40% before installing the update. To check for available updates, go to Settings > About phone, then tap the HyperOS logo at the top.

After upgrading to HyperOS 3, you’ll have access to the Xiaomi HyperIsland feature, a dedicated pill-style hub at the top of the screen that lets you see and interact with multiple live activities. It offers smooth integration with system features and extends support to third-party apps, including WhatsApp, YouTube, and Spotify.

The latest update introduces an AI Cinematic Lock Screen and AI Dynamic Wallpapers for deeper lock screen customizations, while also bringing smoother lock-screen transitions, like AOD to lock screen to home screen. Furthermore, HyperOS 3 tightens integration with Apple devices to support the “Touch to share” feature and allow users to run Xiaomi phone apps on an iPad. The update also introduces a suite of AI features, such as AI Writing, AI Speech Recognition, AI Search, and AI Translate.

While it’s good to see the HyperOS 3 update finally rolling out to Xiaomi 13T, it’s important to know why Xiaomi delayed it in the first place.

Why did Xiaomi delay the HyperOS 3 release for Xiaomi 13T?

Xiaomi took longer than expected to release the HyperOS 3 update for Xiaomi 13T because it was reportedly testing a new Android 16 kernel for the device. The update rolling out to Xiaomi 13T has the kernel version 6.12.38-android16.

A kernel upgrade directly impacts performance scheduling, memory handling, graphics rendering, battery consumption, hardware compatibility, and app compatibility, and so it requires deeper testing before it’s released to the public. This likely explains why Xiaomi took so long to release the update for Xiaomi 13T.

While HyperOS 3 continues to roll out to more devices, Xiaomi has already started working on HyperOS 4. The next major upgrade, based on Android 17, is expected to bring major visual upgrades and several exciting new features. We’ve prepared a list of devices eligible for the next major upgrade.

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.

At the Redmi Note 13 China launch, Lu Weibing hinted about the upcoming Redmi K70 series launch by the end of this year. Apart from this, the company hasn’t officially or unofficially unveiled any information about the upcoming Redmi K70 series. However, there are some leaks and certifications that shed some light on the specifications over the past time. In addition, a piece of new information is here via the Digital Chat Station on Weibo that the Redmi K70 could follow the design aspects of Xiaomi 13T.

Must See: Redmi K70 spotted with 90W fast charging on China’s 3C certification

It means the Redmi K70 will feature a Square Camera module featuring triple-rear sensors. Further, the smartphone will feature a glass cover instead of plastic. Dumping cheap material, the smartphone will come along with an all-metal frame. It is expected to feature a 5000 mAh battery on the board.

Redmi K70 bearing model code 23117RK66C appeared on the Geekbench a while back featuring an octa-core CPU having 1 + 2 + 5 core configuration while clocking at a maximum of 3.19 GHz. It seems the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but due to the absence of consolidated proof about the chipset specifications we are unable to confirm it fully. However, considering the presence of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on the Redmi K60, it is highly likely the predecessor will feature the new SoC.

Like the Xiaomi 14, the Redmi K70 is also rumored to feature 90W charging capability instead of the 67W as seen on its predecessor. The Pro model outmatches the vanilla model and could come with 120W charging.

If you were a smartphone enthusiast around the 2010s, Mediatek-powered Android smartphones had garnered a reputation back then for not having extended software support compared to Snapdragon-powered Android phones due to the more open access nature of Snapdragon chipsets for developers on Android at the time. In turn, you will see Snapdragon devices getting supported for up to 2 or 3 years compared to only 1 or 2 years on MediaTek devices back in the 2010s.

However, in 2023, it seems that Mediatek-powered Android flagships can match or even have longer software support than Snapdragon-powered flagships as one smartphone manufacturer demonstrated with their 2 flagship smartphones launched last month. That manufacturer is Xiaomi, with their Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro.

The Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro were launched on 26 September 2023 and Xiaomi has promised both models will receive 4 years of major Android OS updates and 5 years of Android security updates from the company. However, what’s interesting about the promise of updates are that it only applies to the Xiaomi 13T series and does not apply to the Xiaomi 13 series released earlier this year with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

For context, the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro are powered with MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 8200 Ultra and Dimensity 9200+ smartphones processors respectively. These two Dimensity processors are manufactured on TSMC’s industry-leading 4nm process which has a reputation of excellent power efficiency and high yields, the same process used in Apple’s A16 Bionic processor on the iPhone 15.

Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro and the Xiaomi 13 Ultra are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile processor, which is Qualcomm’s flagship offering this year. However, all three flagship models mentioned above are only promised to 3 years of major Android updates and 5 years of Android security updates. 

In short, this means that the earlier launched Xiaomi 13 series powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will receive one year less of major Android OS updates than the MediaTek-powered Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro, debunking the myth of MediaTek devices receiving shorter years of software support than Snapdragon devices.

Do you think the move of promising and providing longer software support to MediaTek devices is a great move by Xiaomi in the current smartphone industry? Let us know in the comments below!

The Xiaomi 13T is undoubtedly a high-end smartphone that emphasizes performance and photography. It’s equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, making it one of the fastest smartphones available. Furthermore, it boasts a large, high-resolution AMOLED display, a durable battery, and a rapid charging system. In terms of its camera performance, recent results from DxOMark have been revealed. The phone received an overall score of 123, with 134 for photos and 114 for videos. Here are the details…

Xiaomi 13T Climbs to 60th Spot in DxOMark Camera Rankings

With an ever-increasing number of smartphones vying for consumers’ attention, especially in the camera department, how does the Xiaomi 13T measure up? After undergoing an evaluation by DxOMark we now have a clearer picture of what to expect. The Xiaomi 13T has recently been tested by DxOMark, and the results are in. The phone scored 123 overall, with a score of 134 for photos and 114 for videos. This is a good score, but it is not the highest on the market.

In DxOMark’s globally recognized ranking system, the Xiaomi 13T lands in the 60th spot. While this might not sound groundbreaking, it’s essential to put this in perspective. Heavyweights such as the Huawei P60 Pro, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max rank higher, but they also come with heftier price tags.

The Xiaomi 13T’s camera performance is particularly impressive in terms of its exposure, contrast, white balance, detail preservation, autofocus, dynamic range, and noise reduction. However, it does struggle somewhat to capture accurate colors in complex scenes, and there is some loss of detail in low light.

The Xiaomi 13T is a testament to the fact that solid camera performance doesn’t always require breaking the bank. It presents a well-rounded camera suite that caters to both casual photographers and enthusiasts looking for quality on a budget.

The Xiaomi 13T series of premium smartphones officially launched globally last month and the lineup received high sales volumes in Malaysia during its pre-order period from 27 Sep to 6 Oct 2023. 

However, as pre-order customers in Malaysia started receiving their Xiaomi 13T orders yesterday, a lot of the buyers unboxed and noticed that the freebies of RM568 (120 USD) were not included in their Xiaomi 13T pre-order as advertised. This prompted an outrage controversy in the reviews complaining about the missing freebies for pre-order customers, and an uptick of return orders for Xiaomi Malaysia as Xiaomi 13T buyers were not given their freebies due to the misleading advertisement.

Initially, Xiaomi Malaysia used the excuse that the stock of Redmi Buds 4 Pro and Xiaomi Smart Band 8 had run out, thus the lack of free gifts in the pre-order packages, but after the commotion raised by Xiaomi 13T pre-order customers yesterday and today. Xiaomi Malaysia had decided to officially reimburse Xiaomi 13T customers who didn’t receive their Redmi Buds 4 Pro and Xiaomi Smart Band 8 with coupons that allowed them to buy the gifts for free directly from their store.

After realising the error on their part, Xiaomi Malaysia managed to resolve the Xiaomi 13T series pre-order controversy within 24 hours. Malaysian buyers who have not received their free gifts can directly chat with their online customer service on Xiaomi Malaysia Local Store on Lazada or Shopee to redeem their free gifts coupon to purchase back the free gifts for free.

The Xiaomi 13T series officially goes on sale starting 7th October in Malaysia, and features a flagship triple camera setup that is in collaboration with camera giant Leica, alongside Xiaomi’s first 144Hz refresh rate OLED display in its smartphone lineup. The Xiaomi 13T series is also Xiaomi’s first flagships to be promised with 4 years of Android OS updates and 5 years of security updates.

Almost every major phone brand now sells flagship-killer smartphones. These are handsets that offer premium features but at a cheaper price.

This type of device provides almost the same experience as proper flagships. They do have shortcomings but don’t hinder the overall product experience.

Xiaomi started its hardware journey as a flagship killer smartphone brand with the launch of Mi 1. But as the company grew, its mainline Xiaomi (previously Mi) series became a proper flagship lineup going head to head with the iPhones and Galaxy S series.

Therefore, the company introduced the Xiaomi T series (previously Mi T series) in 2019. These phones are released annually in the second half of the year.

Recently, the firm took wraps off the Xiaomi 13T series comprising standard and pro models. They start at €649 and €799 (Amazon).

For these prices, the devices come with several premium features that are generally exclusive to proper flagships. Let’s check out how the Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro differentiate themselves from other flagship killer smartphones on the market.

Leica Cameras

High-end smartphones from some of the popular brands now come with cameras tuned in collaboration with prominent camera brands. Xiaomi is one of them with its Leica partnership.

Xiaomi has been using Leica-tuned cameras on its flagships and foldables since last year. The Xiaomi 13T series is the first flagship killer phones from the company to be equipped with Leica cameras.

Both Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro have the same camera hardware along with Leica tuning. But their ISPs are different since the vanilla variant is powered by a Dimensity 8200-Ultra chip compared to a Dimensity 9200 plus chipset inside the pro version.

The handsets arrive with a proper three-lens system. They feature a 24mm main lens, a 15mm ultrawide lens, and a 50mm 2x telephoto lens.

The main and zoom cameras are 50MP sensors with f/1.9 aperture. However, the primary sensor is larger in size ( 1/1.28″ vs. 1/2.88”) and has OIS.  While the ultrawide unit uses a 12MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture.

Finally, the front camera is a 20MP sensor paired with a f/2.2 lens.

Feature-packed Display

Just like the cameras, the display on Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro is also the same. This is no regular screen as you get a lot of premium features.

First and foremost, the display offers a resolution of 2712 x 1220 pixels (1.5K), 446 PPI, and 12-bit color depth (10-bit native). The panel supports up to a 144Hz refresh rate. It automatically switches between 30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz refresh rates depending on the content.

The centered punch-hole flat screen can play HDR10+ and Dolby Vision content. It can attain a local peak brightness level of 2600 nits. In high brightness mode, its global peak brightness can reach 1200 nits.

The display can also cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Lastly, it is even eye-friendly with 2880Hz PWM dimming and has a fingerprint sensor underneath it.

Basic Design

Most flagship killer smartphones sport a flashy design. Because they are generally limited to Asia and targeted at youth.

But the Xiaomi 13T series is different as it has a simple design that caters to a wider audience. It features a flat frame and a slightly curved rear panel for better ergonomics.

The material of the back panel is vegan leather for the Alpine Blue color option. Whereas, Black and Meadow Green color versions use glossy glass.

Either way, both leather and glass variants house a raised platform for cameras, their accompanying LED flashlight, and Leica branding. While the Xiaomi branding is located in the bottom left corner.

Additionally, the handsets are IP68-rated for dust and water resistance. This means theoretically they can survive under 1.5 metres of fresh water for 30 minutes.

Longer Support

The Xiaomi 13T series is one of the first smartphones from the company to fall under its latest software support policy. Hence, they will receive software updates for up to 5 years from release.

These devices are eligible for 4 Android upgrades and 5 years of security updates. Since they ship with Android 13, they will receive up to Android 17 in the future.

Xiaomi is known for providing security updates every two months or every quarter for its premium phones. So this should be the case with Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro as well.

Nevertheless, customers can expect software support until the second half of 2028.

Last week, Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi held an event in China to launch Redmi devices. Now the company has held a global event where it has announced devices for the international markets. Xiaomi has unveiled the Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro smartphones. These arrive as the successor to last year’s Xiaomi 12T and Xiaomi 12T Pro respectively. They also join the existing Xiaomi 13 lineup that comprises the standard and pro variants.

Xiaomi 13T specifications

The Xiaomi 13T is identical to the Redmi K60 Ultra in terms of design. It has a slightly boxy frame and a squarish camera module on the back panel. On the display front, the device has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display bearing a resolution of 1.5K pixels, an adaptive refresh rate of 144Hz, and a 2,600 nits peak brightness. It also has support for HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. The screen is shielded by Gorilla Glass 5.

The setup comprises a 50MP wide-angle lens with OIS and 24mm focal length, a 50MP telephoto unit with 2x zoom and 50mm equivalent focal length, and a 12MP ultra-wide unit with 15mm focal length. Up front, the smartphone features a 20MP selfie snapper. The device packs various features including the legendary camera maker’s special color enhancements and more. There is also a Pro Mode for adjusting various settings.

Under the hood, the Xiaomi 13T is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultra processor. It packs up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The device is backed by a 5,000mAh battery unit with support for 67W fast charging. The smartphone features a thermal heat dissipation system with a 5000mm² VC stainless steel soaking plate. Software-wise, the Xiaomi 13T runs on Android 13 out of the box. It is confirmed to get 4 major OS updates and five years of security patches. Connectivity options on the Xiaomi 13T Pro include a USB-C port, WiFi-6, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. 

The Xiaomi 13T starts at EUR 649 for the 8GB + 256GB variant. There is also a 12GB + 256GB option, however, its price has not been announced. The smartphone is offered in Alpine Blue, Meadow Green, and Black colors

Following the successful launch of the Redmi K60 Ultra smartphone in China, Xiaomi is gearing up to introduce the Xiaomi 13T series to global markets on September 26. This time, Xiaomi has taken an intriguing approach, opting not to simply rebrand the Redmi K60 Ultra. Instead, they are enhancing the device to better suit the global audience and dubbing it the Xiaomi 13T Pro. Alongside this flagship offering, Xiaomi will also introduce the Xiaomi 13T, a more budget-friendly variant that doesn’t compromise on impressive specifications. Let’s delve into what we currently know about the Xiaomi 13T.

Desing & display

In terms of aesthetics, the Xiaomi 13 Pro will closely resemble the Redmi K60 Ultra, featuring a rectangular camera module on the rear housing three lens cutouts along with an LED flash. The device will maintain a semi-curved design on the back, ensuring comfortable grip, while retaining a flat frame for a sleek and ergonomic feel.

The phone’s outer frame might be made of metal, though some sources suggest it could be plastic. You’ll find the power and volume buttons on the right side, and the SIM card slot is at the bottom. The back of the phone is shiny for both the leaked black and green versions. Additionally, there’s a third color choice that will have a light blue finish made of vegan leather.

The Black and green color variants will measure 162.2 x 75.7 x 8.49 mm and weigh 197 g, while the vegan leather option will measure 162.2 x 75.7 x 8.62 mm and weigh 193 g.

Leaks suggest that the Xiaomi 13T has a 6.67-inch CrystalRes AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution of 2712 x 1220 pixels, offering a pixel density of 446dpi. The aspect ratio is expected to be 20:9, while the contrast ratio could reach an impressive 5,000,000:1. The display may support an adaptive refresh rate of 144Hz, with options for 30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz. Brightness levels are rumored to peak at 2600nits (HBM) and 500nits (typical), providing vivid visuals. It might cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut in 10-bit, offering a palette of 68 billion colors and TrueDisplay technology. Additionally, unconfirmed reports suggest it could feature HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision support, with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for front protection.

Camera

The primary camera is rumored to feature a Leica 50MP wide-angle lens with optical image stabilization (OIS). It could incorporate a 1/1.28-inch IMX707 sensor with a 1.22μm pixel size, offering a 2.44μm 4-in-1 super-pixel capability. The lens is said to have a 24mm equivalent focal length and an f/1.9 aperture, supported by a 7P lens and autofocus.

The device may also sport a 50MP Leica x2 telephoto lens with a pixel size of 0.61μm and a 50mm equivalent focal length, complemented by an f/1.9 aperture and autofocus. Additionally, there could be a Leica 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens with a pixel size of 1.12μm, equivalent to a 15mm focal length, and an f/2.2 aperture.

For selfies, the Xiaomi 13T might feature a 20MP front camera with a pixel size of 0.8μm, a 26mm equivalent focal length, and an f/2.2 aperture.

In terms of video capabilities, the device is rumored to support up to 4k video recording at 30fps. It could come equipped with various features such as two Leica photographic styles, Leica filters, a Master-Lens system (35/50/90mm), Adobe Camera RAW DNG support, Xiaomi Imaging Engine, Xiaomi ProCut, Xiaomi ProFocus, Ultra Night Video, 4K 30fps recording, and end-to-end HDR10+ up to 4K 30fps. Additionally, it may offer a Pro Video Editor for advanced video editing.

In Europe, the Xiaomi 13T might have Leica branding, but in other regions, it won’t. This means some areas may miss out on Leica features like special color enhancements and filters on their 13T.

Performance

The Xiaomi 13T is expected to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra processor built on a TSMC 4nm process, featuring an octa-core configuration. This setup comprises one ARM Cortex-A78 core clocked at up to 3.1GHz, three ARM Cortex-A78 cores running at up to 3.0GHz, and four ARM Cortex-A55 cores with speeds of up to 2.0GHz. An ARM Mali-G610 GPU will handle the graphics side of things, with the inclusion of HyperEngine 6.0 technology.

For memory and storage, the device is rumored to offer 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It’s also expected to support dual 5G connectivity. Powering the Xiaomi 13 Pro could be a 5000mAh battery, complemented by 120W fast charging capabilities. However, a leaked unboxing video has revealed that it will come with a 67W charger in the box.

In terms of connectivity, the phone is expected to feature dual SIM card slots (nanoSIM + nanoSIM/eSIM) and run on Android 13. It may offer USB-C connectivity and support for wireless connections such as Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC.

The Xiaomi 13 Pro might meet IP68 standards for being water and dust-resistant. It could also have a fingerprint reader built into the display for security. Lastly, the smartphone is said to carry 5 years of software support with 4 major OS updates. This means that the smartphone will receive OS updates till Android 17.

Pricing

the Xiaomi 13T with 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage will reportedly cost €700. An early listing from Romania has revealed that it will cost RON 3,299 ( $713) in the region. The Xiaomi 13T will be launching at a Berlin launch event scheduled for 26 September, so stay tuned.

Ever since September started, we have been witnessing a plethora of smartphone launches. After days of continuous new phone releases, the forthcoming few days will be calm after a long while.

That’s because only two brands have scheduled events. One of them is Xiaomi and the other one is Lava.

Xiaomi’s event will take place in Germany where it will unveil its T series flagship phones. On the other hand, Lava will be debuting its yet another budget 5G smartphone in India.

Let’s check out these devices one by one.

Upcoming Smartphones Next Week

Lava Blaze Pro 5G

The Lava Blaze Pro 5G is scheduled to launch in India on September 26 (Tuesday). It is expected to be announced via a livestream at 12 PM IST.

Based on leaks, the device will sport a centered punch-hole display, unlike the standard Blaze 5G which has a dewdrop notch. It is rumored to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6020 chipset,

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this product, except that it will have a 50MP rear camera and is expected to be priced under ₹15,000 (~$180).

Xiaomi 13T Series

The Xiaomi 13T series is set to go official on September 26 (Tuesday). The phones will be presented at a conference in Berlin, Germany.

The lineup will include two models, namely Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro. Both of them are expected to come with Leica-branded cameras, at least in Europe. They will be the first smartphone from the company to offer four Android updates and five years of security updates.

The duo will be powered by MediaTek chipsets. The vanilla model will house a Dimensity 8200 Ultra SoC, while the pro variant will be equipped with a more powerful Dimensity 9200 Plus chip.

The Xiaomi 13T series is set to go official on September 26. Ahead of that, we have been learning about these devices via leaks and certifications for quite a while now.

Recently, a new set of renders emerged along with pricing and color details for both pro and non-pro variants. These pictures also disclosed an interesting tidbit about the vanilla model. 

In a nutshell, the standard Xiaomi 13T could differ region-wise. Let’s go through the details.

When the renders of the Xiaomi 13T lineup started appearing, only the pro version had the Leica branding. Even the unit used in the vanilla Xiaomi 13T unboxing video lacked the Leica branding on the rear.

However, the latest render leak shows Leica text on both Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro. The source of the new leak claims that these variants are meant for Europe.

Therefore, Xiaomiui suggests that Leica branding on Xiaomi 13T could be region-specific. As of now, it seems like European nations will get the special version of the device.

So what does it mean for regions that will lack Leica branding? In these markets, the regular Xiaomi 13T will most likely not offer Leica-related features like color processing, filters, and others.

Anyways, the camera hardware will be the same in all regions. The smartphone is expected to sport a 20MP selfie camera. Whereas, on the rear, it is said to house a triple camera setup comprising an OIS-assisted 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP 2x telephoto shooter, and a 12MP ultra-wide unit.

Xiaomi is set to launch the 13T and 13T Pro smartphones globally on September 26th in Berlin. Ahead of the launch, renders of the upcoming phones have leaked online, revealing their design. The European price of the devices has also been leaked.

The renders, which were shared by tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, show the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro in three color options: black, light green, and light blue. Both phones have a similar design, with a flat display and a punch-hole camera cutout in the top-left corner. The rear camera module is also similar, with a triple-lens setup and a Leica branding.

Both phones are expected to share many features, including a 6.67-inch 144Hz AMOLED display with 1,220 x 2,712 pixels resolution and a peak brightness of 2,600 nits. They will also be IP68-rated and have Gorilla Glass 5 protection for their displays. 

Apart from the display, the 13T duo will allegedly have a 50MP main (IMX707 sensor), 50MP tele camera (50mm lens), and a 12MP ultra-wide (15mm), plus a 20MP selfie module.

The rumored specs for the chipsets and charging are where the 13T diverges from the 13 Pro. The latter is expected to feature a Dimensity 9200+ chipset and a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging. The regular Xiaomi 13T will get the Dimensity 8200-Ultra instead and a 5,000mAh battery with slower 67W charging. However, both phones will be the first in the Xiaomi family to get top-notch software support, with four OS updates and five years of security patches.

As for the pricing, the Xiaomi 13T with 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage will reportedly cost €700. Whereas, the Xiaomi 13T Pro is said to be priced at €900 for the 12GB + 512GB configuration option.

The post Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro Pricing and Color Options Leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, Xiaomi announced that it will unveil the Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro smartphones in Berlin on September 26. These will arrive as the successors to the Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro respectively. The specifications of the upcoming offerings have already surfaced on the internet in recent times. Now ahead of the launch, a Xiaomi executive has revealed an important detail about the Xiaomi 13T duo that should probably excite customers interested in the upcoming devices. 

Xiaomi 13T to get longer software support

Xiaomi’s Communications Director Daniel Desjarlais took to Twitter to share the announcement. He revealed that the upcoming Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro will receive four versions of Android software updates and five years of security patches. The executive adds that it is a significant enhancement to the company’s commitment to providing exceptional software support. If the Xiaomi 13T duo ship with pre-installed Android 13 OS out of the box, they will be eligible for Android 14, 15, 16, and 17 OS versions. 

This is indeed good news for Xiaomi fans and those interested in the upcoming Xiaomi 13T series. Extended software update makes users stick to their devices for a long period. The Chinese brand is not typically known for its longer software support, however, it upped its game with the Redmi K60 Ultra confirmed to get four OS and five years of security updates. While this is a step in the right direction, it’s also worth noting that Xiaomi isn’t the fastest when it comes to delivering newer software updates. 

It remains to be seen whether Xiaomi will offer a longer software support policy for other devices in its portfolio. Android OEMs have been steadily increasing the duration of software support, thanks to Samsung, OPPO, OnePlus, Vivo etc. A recent report also revealed that search giant Google aims to deliver five years of OS updates for its Pixel devices powered by Tensor chipset.

Xiaomi 13T is expected to be the global variant of the Redmi K60 Ultra, it will bundle most of the same specifications. But, this time Xiaomi seems doing something differently as they are coming with two different variants of Xiaomi 13T. If famous tipster @Sudhanshu Ambhore is believed, then Xiaomi 13T will launch a Leica-branded version and a standard version which we have already seen in the recent leaks.

The new Leica-branded version will be limited to some regions including Europe. However, other details are not present, but we expect the same specifications on both variants. In the new render, we can see a slightly different Leica-branded camera module.

Further, the overall camera setup would have improved sensors than the Redmi K60 Ultra.

Xiaomi 13T Specs (Expected)

As per previous leaks, the smartphone will launch in Black and Mint color options. It will house the same 6.67-inch OLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and 1220×2712 pixels resolution. There’s a 5000 mAh battery with 120W fast charging support.

It will be an IP68-rated device and will embed MediaTek Dimensity 9200 Plus flagship SoC. It will be coupled with 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 13T could come with a Dimensity 8200 Ultra chipset, 8GB RAM, and 256GB storage. Unfortunately, there would be no microSD slot or a 3.5mm audio jack.

The camera details are also expected to be similar to the Redmi K60 Ultra, but as per new claims, there might be some changes for the better.

A new month is here and so is our monthly upcoming smartphone list. Just like August, September will also see countless phone releases.

Again like last month, the forthcoming handsets will be spread across different categories. There will be foldables, budget models, mid-rangers, and even flagships.

One of the important launches will be by Apple as the tech giant will unveil its next-gen iPhones. Further, Honor will re-enter the Indian smartphone market. It will also debut a new foldable in China.

At least 10 brands are anticipated to announce new phones. Unsurprisingly, the list includes all the major Chinese players, in addition to the only non-Chinese popular companies Apple and Samsung.

Let’s take a look at all the devices that are expected to be made official by these brands.

Upcoming Smartphones in September 2023

Realme C51

The Realme C51 is scheduled to launch in India on September 4. The device is already official in Southeast Asia.

However, it is not sure if the variant set to release in India will be the same. Because the recent C series models for the region are slightly different.

So far, the brand has confirmed that the product will feature a flat frame design. It will look like an iPhone Pro and will be available in a blue color option.

The handset will be equipped with a 50Mp rear camera. Finally, it will carry support for 33W charging.

Motorola Moto G54 5G

The Motorola Moto G54 is planned to go official in China on September 5. It will be unveiled in India a day later on September 6.

The iPhone 15 lineup will be unveiled at this conference. Just like in previous years, there will be four models, namely iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The high-end ‘Pro Max’ variant could be called the iPhone 15 Ultra.

All four phones are anticipated to come with a dynamic island and a USB Type-C port. Additionally, the Pro models will feature a new action button, and the Pro Max will be equipped with a periscope zoom lens.

Mysterious Honor Foldable

Honor has scheduled an event in China for September 13. The brand has confirmed to unveil a new foldable at this conference.

Though we are only a few days away from the launch, we don’t know the actual name of this product. Leaks say that it could be either Honor Magic Vs 2 or Honor Magic V2 Lite.

The Honor Magic Vs 2 is rumored to be an outward folding device like the Huawei Mate Xs series. On the other hand, the Honor Magic V2 Lite is said to be the most affordable foldable smartphone to release this year.

Samsung W24 and W24 Flip

Samsung is set to take wraps off the new W series foldable phones in China on September 15. These handsets are expected to be called Samsung W24 and Samsung W24 Flip.

Similar to the previous W series handsets, they are anticipated to be rebranded current-gen Galaxy Z foldables from the company. So the W24 and W24 Flip will be essential premium versions of Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, respectively.

These devices will likely have additional design elements to differentiate themselves from the regular models.

Realme Narzo 60x

The Realme Narzo 60x is teased by the company to debut soon in India. It should go official within the next few days.

Going by the teaser render and the name, it could be a rebranded Realme 11x 5G. But it may or may not have some changes.

Honor 90

The Honor 90 is expected to launch in India this month. The brand is yet to disclose the exact date, however, a leak suggests that it could go official on September 21.

This smartphone is already on sale in multiple markets. Therefore, everything about it is already known. But we cannot deny the probability of the Indian variant being slightly different.

Anyways, the handset arrives with a 6.7-inch 1.5K 120Hz curved OLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, a 200Mp main camera, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, a 5,000mAh battery, and 66W charging.

Xiaomi 13T Series

Going by leaks and certifications, the Xiaomi 13T series could launch in September. The lineup will consist of Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro.

Leaks suggest that the pro variant will be a tweaked version of the Redmi K60 Ultra with Leica-powered better camera hardware. Whereas, the vanilla model will not only have a downgraded camera setup without Leica processing but also a less powerful chip.

Either way, both phones will look identical in terms of design. Their looks will be based on the Xiaomi 13 series and the Redmi K60 lineup.

The Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro are tipped to start from £549 and £699, respectively.

Tecno Phantom V Flip

The Tecno Phantom V Flip might debut in September. It will be the brand’s first clamshell foldable smartphone and could be more affordable than the competitors.

Its design will be unique as it will sport a 1.32-inch circular cover screen inside the camera ring. The device will be powered by a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 8050 chip and will be backed by a 4,000mAh battery.

Most importantly, it will flaunt a 6.9-inch FHD+ vertical foldable display. Also, it will arrive with a 64MP + 13MP dual camera setup on the rear and a 32MP front-facing snapper.
