Xiaomi 13T Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi 13T - a gadget that makes you forget about flagships

Flagship smartphones attract the attention of millions of people with their visual and internal perfection, but the price tags for them can sometimes upset even an experienced mobile device fan. Subflagships are correcting the situation. These are significantly more affordable analogs that retain most of the positive features of their expensive brother. In the case of the hero of today's review, the simplifications turned out to be extremely insignificant.

Even experienced users will like the appearance of the gadget. The attractiveness of the exterior is achieved through the thinnest display frames, a palm-cooling glass back panel and a stylish three-camera unit. The edging of the case is metal, however, to preserve its original condition from scratches and chips, it is recommended to use the included silicone case. The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen has not lost the advantages of its predecessor. High resolution of 2712x1220 pixels, increased brightness, 144 Hz refresh rate, and even more correct color reproduction make watching videos and other content a real pleasure. But the on-screen fingerprint scanner, although convenient, sometimes does not recognize touches. The side option would be more accurate.

The technical characteristics were the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 processor, 8GB/12GB of RAM and the Mali G610MC6 video adapter. Even gamers will not complain about the performance of such a combination, because all existing gaming titles run at maximum graphic presets without any lags. Detailed cars in Wreckfest, the detailed open world of Genshin Impact, large-scale battles in World Of Tanks Blitz will take place without the slightest slowdown. The energy efficiency of the chipset is not record-breaking, but decent. From a 5000mAh battery it is not difficult to achieve about 8-9 hours of active screen time. With fast charging with a power of 67W, the battery will reach full capacity in just 30-35 minutes. 256/512GB of ROM is allocated for storing information; there is no slot for MicroSD cards.

The set of main cameras has been updated. The secondary 12 (wide-angle lens) and 10-megapixel sensors (telephoto, 3.2x Zoom) are now headed by a 50-megapixel Sony IMX707 with optical stabilization. If the frames taken in daylight are at approximately the same level, then evening photographs are distinguished by greater detail and less noise. The stereo sound volume is excellent, and the bass can also be heard. An infrared port for controlling household appliances, support for 5G networks, and NFC contactless payments have found their place in the phablet. We only had to sacrifice wireless charging, but it is waterproof according to IP68 standards. Thus, the considered unit will definitely evoke positive emotions in every new owner.
