I have used Xiaomi 13 Pro for a few months, and I have always said that Xiaomi 13 Pro is one of the moderator’s favorite mobile phones in the first half of 2023, and the subsequent Xiaomi 13 Ultra has no chance of long-term use, so I will skip it. Recently, Xiaomi has launched a new generation of Mi 13T series. The back of the phone is designed with imitation leather, which I like. Mi 13T is also advertised as the cheapest mobile phone with LEICA certified lens. Will it attract netizens to buy it? In this article, I am not trying to make a quotation, but to do an unboxing review with you and test the performance of this Xiaomi Mi 13T.

Xiaomi 13T unboxing
Xiaomi Mi 13T is available in blue, green, and black colors, and the one tested this time is blue. The special thing about the phone is that its back is made of plain leather. I believe it pays homage to the retro style of LEICA cameras, so this design is used. The texture of the pebbled leather is non-slip and delicate, creating a high-end feel. In addition, Xiaomi 13T supports IP68 dustproof and waterproof, making it more convenient for daily use.
As for the lens module on the back of the camera, you can see the word LEICA printed on it, but it’s a pity that its red icon is not used, otherwise it would be more eye-catching. It is worth mentioning that although the module does not appear to be a dual lens, it actually uses a three-lens design, which will be discussed in more detail below.
Xiaomi Mi 13T, which uses a 6.67-inch screen, personally feels that the proportion is a little wider. For boys, it is a bit difficult to hold the phone with one hand. For girls, I believe it will be necessary to hold the phone with two hands. The bezels of the screen are relatively thin and evenly spaced on all four sides, so there is no obvious chin. In terms of button layout, the phone buttons are concentrated on the right side of the fuselage, and the sleep button is placed near the center, making it easy to click. In addition, the phone supports under-screen fingerprint unlocking, but the reader is located below the screen, making it difficult to unlock when holding the phone with one hand.
As for the 6.67-inch CrystalRes AMOLED screen, it has a resolution of 2712 x 1220 and reaches 446 ppi. The screen uses Corning Gorilla Glass 5, supports a 144Hz update rate and a peak brightness of 2,600nit. According to actual tests, it can still be viewed clearly in the sun, and the performance is good. In high refresh rate mode, the display of dynamic images is quite smooth. The mobile phone supports stereo speakers, tried playing 360 sound effects videos, and performed well in positioning. In addition, the mobile phone adopts an under-screen fingerprint recognition design, which is located at the bottom of the center of the screen. After a few days of actual testing, it was found that the recognition accuracy is quite high.

Xiaomi Mi 13T uses a 4nm process MTK Dimensity 8200 processor, paired with 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM. The measured AnTuTu score reaches over 880,000 points, and its performance is mid-to-high-end. The system preset for the trial game “Genshin Impact” can run at medium image quality. During the process, the body temperature did not increase significantly and remained below 40 degrees, which is very good. However, due to system limitations, the phone failed to run the 3DMark test.
In addition, the phone has a built-in 5,000mAh and corresponds to 67W fast charging. The actual charging effect is that when the phone is charged at 15%, the battery reaches 57% in 15 minutes and 89% in 30 minutes. In other words, 74% can be charged in half an hour, which is a good performance.
As for power, in addition to running the PCMark battery consumption test, I also actually played “Genshin Impact” for half an hour, which consumed about 8% of the power. Playing the Netflix program for 2 hours through Wi-Fi consumed about 12% of the power.

In terms of cameras, the main camera of Xiaomi Mi 13T is a LEICA VARIO-SUMMICRON 1:1.9-2.2/15-50mm ASPH. lens with an equivalent 24mm, F1.9 aperture, a 7P aspherical lens structure, and its photosensitive element is 50 million The pixel is 1/1.28 inches, the area is 1.22μm pixel size, 2.44μm four-in-one pixel.

Like the previous models equipped with LEICA lenses, the mobile phone has two styles: “LEICA Classic” and “LEICA Vivid”. The characteristics of the former focus on showing the natural, low-saturation and calm style of LEICA’s single eye; the other LEICA Vivid has more color tones. Bright and lively, the photos show high contrast and high saturation effects.
The camera has a variety of shooting modes, and in addition to the LEICA style mentioned above, there are also a variety of LEICA filters, including LEICA Natural, LEICA Vivid, LEICA Monochrome, LEICA Monochrome HC, etc. Among them, Monochrome HC can render High contrast, high contrast black and white photos. In addition, its professional mode not only allows you to adjust shooting data such as shutter speed and exposure compensation, but also sets RAW format shooting and focus peaking functions, which is rare for mobile phones.
In actual trials, the lens focuses quickly, and both the standard and telephoto 50MP lenses perform well. However, the ultra-wide-angle lens performs slightly worse during night shots, and obvious noise is found.

summary
After trying it out for a few days, the overall performance of Xiaomi Mi 13T is quite good. The performance of Dimensity 8200 is good enough, the performance is smooth and smooth, and there is no fever when playing games. The camera performance of the mobile phone is also good. The author mainly shoots in the classic LEICA style. I personally think the hair color of the photos is to my liking.
The only thing I’m picky about is the body shape. Compared with the Xiaomi Mi 13 series launched in April, the appearance of the new phone is undoubtedly more plain. If the middle frame is polished and shiny, it may be more eye-catching.
As for the price, Xiaomi Mi 13T is positioned as a mid-to-high-end model, with a single specification of 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM. The price in Hong Kong is $3299. The phone’s performance AnTuTu score reaches 880,000, which is higher than many products of the same price.
