On May 13th, vivo released the strongest image flagshipX100 Ultrea, in addition to the 1-inch super-large bottom main camera Sony LYT-900, there are also 200 million pixel periscope telephoto camera, 1/1.4-inch large bottom, known as the "concert artifact".
Prior to this, the high-end image flagships of various companies have been released, and the photo effect is very strong, but the price is not cheap.
However, mobile phones are digital products that are updated very quickly, and they are still the strongest flagship this year, but they will be obsolete next year, and the price will fall off a cliff. The Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra was one of the most popular and powerful high-end imaging flagships last year. However, since the release of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the price has continued to fall, and now it has fallen by at least 2072 yuan.
The initial price of the 16GB+1TB version was 7299 yuan, and now it is only 5227 yuan.
This price has reached the end, and it is unlikely that it will fall again.
The Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra also has a 1-inch outsole, and it's been optimized for up to a year for better imaging.
The main camera uses a 50 million pixel Sony IMX989 sensor, which is also the largest and most advanced sensor in the entire mobile phone industry before the release of LYT-900, using 40nm process process, 23mm equivalent focal length, 9P lens, F1.9 and F4.0 two stops of variable aperture, support Hyper OIS super image stabilization.
After the cooperation between Xiaomi and Leica, they began to use Leica-certified lenses, and the Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra uses Leica Summicron optical lenses, equipped with edge ink and other technologies to reduce glare, pure colors, and transparent and textured images.
The combination of a top-of-the-line flagship sensor + a top-of-the-line lens, coupled with the algorithms and Leica tones provided by the Xiaomi Image Brain, makes the Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra more capable of taking pictures than any flagship phone.
The Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra also has two telephoto cameras: a 75mm telephoto and a 120mm professional ultra telephoto.
The 75mm telephoto camera uses a Sony IMX858 sensor with a large F1.8 aperture and supports OIS optical image stabilization.
The 120mm professional super telephoto camera also uses Sony IMX858, F3.0 aperture, and supports OIS.
The fourth camera is a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with a 122° ultra-wide angle of view, a 12mm-equivalent focal length, and a 5cm macro shot.
It should be noted that the positioning of the Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra is the same as that of the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra, both of which are professional-grade imaging flagships, which are only suitable for users and professionals who like to shoot, and ordinary users can get imaging results with Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 13 Pro.
In terms of performance, the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 carried by the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is still the flagship chip, and Star Rail and Genshin Impact can run at high frames. If it's just for daily use, there are no problems for five or six years. And the starting point is 12GB of RAM, and the maximum is 16GB+1TB top-of-the-line.
In terms of screen, Xiaomi 13 Ultra gave up the 2K resolution Samsung AMOLED flexible curved screen used by Xiaomi 12s Ultra, and changed it to Huaxing Optoelectronics AMOLED curved screen, 6.73-inch 3200x1440 resolution, C7 light-emitting material, LTPO technology, local peak brightness 2600nit, global peak brightness 1300nit.
It supports DC dimming at high brightness and 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming at low brightness.

Although the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is Xiaomi's strongest imaging flagship, it is only upgraded on the basis of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, and the actual changes are not as big as imagined. And the Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra is so cheap that it is definitely more worthy of choosing than the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra.
