Performance with two heroes and three resolution displays
To start, we stop at the first thing that comes to mind: the screen. We have panels of various sizes and different resolutions, although they all have to meet expectations. There are many AMOLED screens The vibrant colors and deep blacks of this technology in the Xiaomi 13 series have caused Xiaomi to prefer this type of panels.

If we are looking for a slightly more compact terminal, we should opt for the base model, the Xiaomi 13. 6.36 inches. This is the “smallest” mobile phone in the series and therefore the only significant difference is the display. The rest of the family reaches about 6.7 inches, with almost imperceptible differences.
Resolutions vary minimum 1080p for the base model and 2K for ‘Pro’ and ‘Ultra’. On the other hand, the new Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro remain in the middle range at 1,220p.
Regarding yieldWe have two heroes who are partners in the industry. On the one hand, Qualcomm is signing Snapdragon 13 Gen 8 equipped with three Xiaomi 2 models introduced at the beginning of the year. On the other hand, Mediatek offers its two most advanced processors: Dimensity 8200 Ultra and Dimensity 9200+.
This is accompanied by a good amount of RAM. 12 GB included in Xiaomi 13 Ultra and Xiaomi 13T Pro. Storage won’t be an issue either and looks similar except for the 1TB versions of ‘Ultra’ and ’13T Pro’
In the photo, everyone’s telephoto has a first and last name except the king
Photography has now become an obsession for Xiaomi and has reached an increasingly high level in this new family. Xiaomi 13, one very capable camera setwith more noticeable differences in premium models. One thing everyone will enjoy is the telephoto sensor, which is suitable for zoom without sacrificing quality.
But only the Xiaomi 13 has a 10-megapixel telephoto, while the rest have upped the ante to 50 megapixels. We make another exception here: the super telephoto feature of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is a beast, the most advanced technology of the series and special for this model.

With Wide angle Something similar happens: on the Xiaomi 13, 13T and 13T Pro we can capture images at a wider angle at 12 megapixels, while the Xiaomi 13 Pro and Ultra equip this with more resolution.
selfie camera It is indispensable for many, and since they all have quality sensors, it will not matter which one you choose this time. 32 megapixels in the three jointly launched terminals, and 20 megapixels in the versions bearing the surname ‘T’.
State-of-the-art connectivity and water resistance for everyone
Don’t enter his zone software We can say very little. MIUI 14, the latest version of Xiaomi’s customization layer, is available on all models of the family and runs on Android 13. Although Xiaomi’s new policy is notable: 4+1 year update for Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro.
Obviously, since they belong to the high range, they are all compatible with the new 5G networks as well as the latest versions of WiFi, accept WiFi 6E and shine with their own power. WiFi 7 support from those recently introduced, that will prepare for the future of wireless connectivity.
Any of the five models will meet the expectations of the most demanding users. But there are visible differences that make the choice difficult.
Dual SIM is one of Xiaomi’s hallmarks and the whole family can use two phone lines at the same time. They replicate other features like NFC and IP68 certification Available on all five mobile phones. Thus, they become resistant to water and dust ingress, which is almost a mandatory feature in this price range.
In essence, we have If we want power, there are two different optionswhile the rest of the specifications represent minor differences. Some of them will be important for some users, others for the rest, but if we are looking for “the most of the most” it would be better to give preference to the most advanced models: Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 13 Ultra or Xiaomi 13T Pro.
Xiaomi succeeded Complete the Xiaomi 13 family With two very rounded products that complement existing smartphones. If there is a manufacturer that can direct the market with different versions, it is the manufacturer managed by Lei Jun.
