Today, an official announcement has been made confirming the upcoming release of the next-generation Xiaomi 13T series at the end of this month. Notably, a teaser poster has also unveiled that this flagship will feature a LEICA camera, creating considerable excitement among tech enthusiasts. Feel free to explore further details.
Xiaomi took to Twitter to officially reveal that the new Xiaomi 13T series will debut in Berlin, Germany, at 2 PM on September 26 (8 PM in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia). Observant individuals may have noticed the inclusion of the LEICA trademark in the teaser poster, substantiating previous rumors. Xiaomi has made it official. The Leica camera system is now part of its lightweight flagship. Recapping the earlier revelations, the Xiaomi Mi 13T Pro, positioned as the highest offering, will be available in black and light blue variants. The black version will feature a glass build, while the light blue variant will sport a plain leather finish. An exciting addition to the design is the IP68 dustproof and waterproof feature.
When it comes to the display, the Xiaomi 13T Pro stands out. It features a 1.5K resolution AMOLED screen with an impressive 144Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it reaches a peak brightness of 2600 units and supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. The screen’s punch hole will house a single 20-megapixel selfie lens. In terms of performance, the Xiaomi 13T Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ processor, available in three configurations: [12GB RAM + 256GB storage], [12GB RAM + 512GB storage], and the flagship [16GB RAM + 1TB storage]. The memory and storage will incorporate the latest LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0, respectively.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the Xiaomi 13T Pro’s [50.3MP (main; F1.9; OIS) + 50MP (ultra-wide-angle; F2.2) + 50MP (zoom)] triple-camera setup. The main camera features the same sensor as Xiaomi’s 12 Pro, the Sony IMX707. The ultra-wide-angle lens employs the Omnivision OV13B, while the zoom lens incorporates the Omnivision OV50D sensor, expected to support 2x portrait zoom shooting. A significant highlight is Xiaomi’s first-time collaboration with Leica certification in a lightweight flagship, promising enhanced photography tones and algorithms.
In the battery department, the Xiaomi 13T Pro boasts a 5000mAh battery. Moreover, it incorporates 120W flash charging technology, allowing it to achieve a full charge in just about 19 minutes. For the slightly lower-positioned Xiaomi 13T model, the design, screen, power, and camera hardware remain consistent with the Pro version. Performance, storage capacity, and charging speed show primary distinctions. The Xiaomi 13T features the Dimensity 8200 processor and offers a 256GB storage option. It achieves a rapid 67W flash charging speed, but in some areas, it lacks the LEICA-certified lens.
The Xiaomi 13T will cost £549 in the UK and 649 euros in France, offering 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The Xiaomi 13T Pro, with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, will be priced at £699 in the UK. Meanwhile, the highest-end Xiaomi 13T Pro, which has 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, could be available for 999 euros in France.
