The Xiaomi 13 Pro has a lovely design, fast performance, and a phenomenal camera system. Read our full review.
Xiaomi 13 Pro MSRP $1,315.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Xiaomi 13 Pro's Leica-tuned camera is an absolute winner, and the phone has the performance and battery life to match, with the only negative aspect being the busy and complicated software.” Pros Cons The Xiaomi 13 Pro is here to take on the best from Samsung, OnePlus, and Oppo, and it’s doing so with the help of Leica.
The curved sides provide grip, but not a lot of in-hand comfort. Luckily, Xiaomi includes a custom transparent case in the box, and I’ve used it most of the time. It all adds up to a phone that matches the larger Samsung Galaxy S23 series phones and surpasses the OnePlus 11, which lacks comprehensive water and dust resistance. However, the OnePlus 11 looks far more stylish, and as we’ll see later on, it’s a lot cheaper too.
The camera’s tone can give even mundane photos character, and the balance of color, contrast, and exposure is spot-on. There are two Leica camera modes, Vibrant and Authentic, to switch between. I’ve mostly used Vibrant, and although it can oversaturate sometimes, the extensive editing suite gives you plenty of opportunity to tune the photo to your liking. If it’s always too much for you, then switching to Automatic keeps the color saturation in check.
It’s all very well-thought-out, the Leica features are interesting and do change the look of your photos, and the overall quality of the camera is almost certainly enhanced by the Leica lenses. The software is a little hit-and-miss. It’s Android 13 with Xiaomi’s MIUI 14 interface, and it has a selection of alterations over MIUI 13, ranging from the ability to use huge Super Icons on the home screen to new animations, designs, and widgets. MIUI is a busy, complex piece of software with tons of customization, many system notifications, and questionable features to find.
Even with screen time reaching four hours, the battery hasn’t fallen below 50% after a day’s use, making the Xiaomi 13 Pro’s battery capable of lasting two full days . Add in gaming, and it won’t quite make it that long, but unless you’re playing for several hours, it’ll still make it through a full, single day. The battery life is excellent, and you shouldn’t be put off by the sub-5,000mAh capacity.
