Xiaomi 13: I might like this one more... - SoyaCincau (SoyaCincau.com)

Yes, you do lose out on some features (dat camera system) from the Xiaomi 13 Pro. But it's hard to say no to the compact, no nonsense Xiaomi 13.

As someone who is a huge fan of compact smartphones, I find myself more attracted to the overall package of the Xiaomi 13. It still looks like a mighty capable camera—or at least one that’s comparable to its peers—but it’s certainly not the show-stopper that the Xiaomi 13 Pro is. Alongside that main camera, you get a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera and a 10MP f/2.0 telephoto camera with the same 3x optical zooming. Its 6.36″ Full HD OLED display doesn’t bleed over the edges the way the Xiaomi 13 Pro does, instead it is a flat panel that I think many would prefer in this day and age. Yes, resolution is down from its larger sibling, but the phone still features a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate, as well as support for the DCI-P3 colour gamut. Right off the bat, the smartphone takes a vastly different approach to the design of its chassis.

Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro announced with SD 8 Gen 2, new Leica ... (GSMArena.com)

The Xiaomi 13 Pro flaunts a ceramic design and new 1.0" main sensor.

The Xiaomi 13 in its base 8/128GB trim is CNY3,999 ($575), while the top 12/512GB edition is 4,999 ($720). Unlike the Pro, the vanilla version settles for standard glass on its back and comes in Black, Light Green, Light Blue, Gray and White. The famous 1-inch Sony IMX989, 1.6µm sensor from the Xiaomi 12S Ultra is now paired with a Leica-branded lens with an f/1.9 aperture and Hyper OIS. The main unit is 50 MP, f/1.8, 23mm, 1/1.56", 1.0µm and Hyper OIS. The ultrawide is now 12MP with an f/2.2 aperture, likely without autofocus support. The camera island is now square-ish with oval corners. The Xiaomi 13's display is now slightly bigger, measuring 6.36" in diagonal and has essentially the same specs as before - 1080 x 2400px resolution, 120Hz refresh rate (no granular control available as it's not LTPO), Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG support and is aided by an ambient color temperature sensor. The only upgrade here is the advertised maximum and peak brightness. The Xiaomi 12 Pro had a 6.73-inch display, and we have the same one with almost identical specs. Battery gets a slight bump to 4,820 mAh and is paired with Xiaomi's Surge G1 chip allowing safe 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. The interesting bit is that it has a close focusing distance of just 10 cm. For all intents and purposes, the Xiaomi 13 Pro's display remains unchanged.
