Xiaomi 13 Pro

Technical specifications

I wanted a high performance photographic device and I succeeded; the IMX989 with leica lenses is excellent. By increasing the ISO at a 0.3 sec. exposure time, it takes clear photos in complete darkness. Only the S23 Ultra can compete with it in this regard; the Iphone has long been lagging behind. The screen is very bright, sufficient even on sunny days. The two high quality speakers play loudly and clearly, and the phone has as many as 3 microphones. Furthermore, in performance tests, it currently ranks 3rd, right after Vivo. The result in antutu outperforms the Iphone 14 pro by as much as 1/3 in performance. Certainly, the Snap 8 gen 2 with UFS 4.0 memory and LPDDR5X must perform very well. Miui14 is without bugs so far. I have had the phone for a month now and I am very satisfied.

I am very satisfied with this model. It takes great photos, and the battery life is quite decent considering its capabilities. Also, from what I know, it has mechanical image stabilization. So do not worry that something inside is "moving". The 13 is definitely a positive! :)

After several Xiaomi devices, we recently purchased a Redmi 13 and a Note 13 Pro. I paid twice as much for the Pro version specifically for the 200MPX camera; I watched many reviews stating that it takes beautiful photos, and it does, but they are only beautiful while on the phone because in reality, on a computer, the photos are tragic. They are large, but even at the best settings, they are extremely unattractive; they have 72dpi and are much worse than those taken by the Xiaomi Note 9 Pro with 64MPX. I thought my unit was defective, but when I started searching for other users, it appeared that this model is simply designed this way and nothing can be done about it. Xiaomi has deceived many users who also expected a high quality camera. I can only hope that someone will purchase this poor quality device for about half the price and I will buy something else. Personally, never again Xiaomi.

After several months of use, I can say with complete certainty that the phone is excellent, zero lags, it does not heat up, it charges quickly, and the camera takes phenomenal photos (naturally after the appropriate configuration of its parameters). The battery lasts for twenty-four hours during quite intensive use, although in my opinion, it should last a bit longer; essentially, I have the screen resolution, brightness, and refresh rate set to maximum at all times, just as I have the "always-on display" set so that it does not turn off even at night. The phone looks attractive from the front and back (ceramic casing), and so far there are zero scratches on both the display and the back. The price may be somewhat deterrent, but as a person who services electronic equipment on a daily basis, I know that it is appropriate for the components in the phone.

The specifications of the phone may indeed be good, but their updates render the phone unusable. I have two SIM cards, the internet works terribly despite a signal of four five bars, no possibility of opening the Google Maps application, constant problems with the internet.

I was unlucky. My new Xiaomi stopped working after 3 weeks. I returned it.
