Some people say that the Xiaomi Mi 13 is not as good as its sub-brand Redmi K60, and the reason given is very good, saying that the Redmi K60 is equipped with a 2k display, while the Xiaomi Mi 13, as the flagship model, is equipped with a 1080p screen.
In fact, in my experience, 1080p screens are not much different from 2K displays, their display effects are basically the same, we can't see the difference with the naked eye.
If you're ready to buy a Xiaomi Mi 13 and don't know how it really works? So next, Xiaomi 13 used for 26 days (almost a month) I talk about the feeling of use.
Exterior design
Exterior design has a big impact on buying behavior, so a beautiful phone will attract more people. It can be said that the appearance design of the Xiaomi Mi 13 attracted me deeply, the machine follows the trend of thin and light phones on the current market, its thickness is only 7.98mm, the weight is only about 189g, combined with the right-angle bezel and the slightly curved back, the phone is not too heavy, which helps to provide a firm grip and prevent accidental drops.
The bezel of the phone is made of luxurious metal, and the back is made of ceramic instead of frosted glass. The improvement of materials makes the appearance of the phone feel better. However, the ceramic version is easy to stick fingerprints, so I recommend everyone to choose the leather version, because it is not easy to stick fingerprints.
It is important to note here that the Xiaomi Mi 13 has IP68 waterproof and dustproof certification, the waterproof performance is very good, I put the phone in the water, and after 20 minutes I picked it up and it can still be used normally.
display screen
The Xiaomi Mi 13's display looks very beautiful, it has the visual effect of four sides equal width, and the screen quality is also very high. The 6.36-inch center hole straight screen, although only 1080p resolution, the display effect is very clear.
What's more, Xiaomi's display also has a peak brightness of 1900 nits, and it also integrates Dolby Vision and HDR10+ functions, which elevates the level of its high-end phones. Of course, the impressive 120Hz refresh rate cannot be ignored, and it is very smooth to watch videos or play games on a daily basis.
Core performance
As we all know, the Xiaomi Mi 13 is equipped with the second-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 chip, which is manufactured using the 4nm process and has 8 cores and Adreno 740 graphics. Although the same as the first generation Snapdragon 8 is still a 4nm process, Qualcomm has improved it better and brought a new experience to users.
Play games, you will know how powerful the core performance of the second-generation Snapdragon 8 chip is, 30 minutes of game can basically maintain full frame running, the game experience is extremely smooth, completely comparable to Apple's A16 chip.
camera
It can be seen that the rear camera module of Xiaomi 13 has changed in design, making the whole machine more attractive than the previous generation, and the quality of the lens has also been significantly improved, and the cooperation with Leica has indeed improved the quality of the camera.
The Mi 13 has three Leica lenses on the rear, of which the 50MP OIS main camera uses a Sony IMX 800 camera sensor, and the image resolution is excellent. After trying to take photos with the Xiaomi Mi 13, you can see that the details shown on the kitten photos are very sharp, and the colors are realistic and vibrant.
battery
Probably in order to maintain a thin and light body, the Xiaomi Mi 13 is not equipped with a large battery, but equipped with a 4500mAh battery, but during use, the battery life did not disappoint me, and it lasted 7 hours and 10 minutes, ensuring my needs for a full day.
Even if the battery runs out, the included 67W charger is able to fully charge the phone in 40 minutes. In addition, there are 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless fast charging, which brings me convenience.
To the end
Xiaomi 13 has both advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is a delicate and compact body, IP68 waterproof and dustproof certification, the display effect is very clear, the second generation Snapdragon 8 flagship chip and MIUI14 is very smooth, the photo is excellent, battery life and charging are okay, disadvantages I think this ceramic white is easy to stick fingerprints, it is recommended to buy the leather version.
