XIAOMI 13

Flat aluminum edges, ultra-thin bezels, and a 93.3% screen-to-body ratio are some of the features that distinguish the design of the new Xiaomi 13 which uses a 6.36 “AMOLED display , also flat and protected by a Gorilla Glass 5, with 2400 X 1080 FHD+ resolution, 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, 240Hz one touch sampling rate, P3 gamut support, Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HDR10+.The typical brightness of this E6 panel is 1200 nits with a peak of 1900 nits.

On the back, made with 2.5D glass, slightly rounded towards the edges, there is a square island that houses the photographic sector engineered in collaboration with Leica. Xiaomi 13 is based on Android 13 with MIUI 14 interface and its dimensions are 152.8 x 71.5 x 7.98mm for a weight of 189 grams. Do not miss the resistance to water and dust with IP68 certification.

THE PHOTOGRAPHIC SECTOR 

The main camera has a 1/1.49″ total and 1/1.56″ effective Sony IMX800 sensor with 1.0µm pixels (2.0µm in 4-in-1 Super Pixel mode), LEICA VARIO 7-element wide-angle lens -SUMMICRON 1:1.8-2.2/15-75 ASPH and f/1.8 aperture.

The 3.2x telephoto lens has a 10MP sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and a 5-element lens with a focal length of 75mm, inspired by the iconic Leica 75mm Noctilux-M lens, which minimizes image distortion image creating a natural bokeh effect, perfect for far away. The third sensor is a 12MP with ultra wide-angle optics , f/2.2 aperture, 15mm focal length and a 120° field of view. The Master-lens software system supports a full range of specific focal lengths for portrait photography.

The Leica Authentic Look photographic style preserves true contrast between light and dark areas and ensures accurate white balance in the image. Leica Vibrant Look, on the other hand, makes small adjustments to brightness and saturation to produce sharper shadows and more vibrant colors. The Leica watermark is added to these filters as well as the classic shutter sound.

In Pro mode it is possible to manually adjust various parameters and obtain 10-bit DNG RAW files to which it is possible to apply color profiles created by Adobe. Xiaomi 13 also allows you to capture video in Dolby Vision and 10-bit 4K LOG with HyperOIS.

The front camera is a 32MP with 1.4µm pixels, f/2.0 aperture, 5P lens and an 89.6° field of view. This sensor supports Dynamic Framing (0.8x, 1x), night mode, portrait mode and HDR.
