Xiaomi 13 Pro

“The Xiaomi 13 Pro is one of the best phones of the year so far. That said, obviously the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is better still (unless you really consider quicker charging as the most important thing for you). But the question isn't whether the Ultra is better than the Pro, the question is whether, for you personally, it's worth hundreds of euros more for the cameras it has and the slightly brighter screen and the marginally bigger battery capacity. That's it, that's the main thing you need to think about when considering a pick between these two.”

“The Xiaomi 13 Pro is a flagship that's so easy to love. Its ceramic design is beautiful and we do appreciate the ingress protection. Then there is one of the best displays in the industry - a 1440p OLED with 10-bit color depth, dynamic 120Hz refresh, and Dolby Vision support.”

“The Xiaomi 13 Pro is an exciting flagship, but is it as good as a Galaxy or an iPhone? We think that Xiaomi has done a very good job improving the camera and night shots in particular are among the best we've seen on a phone. Other fundamentals like battery life and performance are also well covered, and the zippy charging is an extremely neat feature to have. There are a few quirks: the MIUI interface works smoothly, but is aggressive with killing apps in the background and some apps might not deliver notifications because of that, which is a pretty big problem. We also would have liked if the camera captures less saturated colors during the day and the selfie camera was disappointing.”

“The Xiaomi 13 Pro has it all: a gorgeous design with a ceramic finish, sublime AMOLED screen, the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, all-day battery life with ultra-fast 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, and IP68 dust and water resistance. While you'll find most of these features in other phones, where the 13 Pro comes into its own is the cameras, by partnering with Leica, Xiaomi has delivered one of the best camera packages you'll find on a phone today.”
