When mobile phones can produce photos with camera quality, would you consider buying this “camera” with call function? It is said that the moderator brought Xiaomi’s latest flagship mobile phone – Xiaomi 13 Pro to Macau earlier, except for “Zuixiangyuan…Juixiangyuan…buying souvenirs…buying souvenirs” In addition, I also used Mi 13 Pro to test its camera power! In addition to using a 1-inch CMOS sensor, this phone also has LEICA certification. My evaluation of it is: I rarely praise a Xiaomi phone, but Xiaomi 13 Pro will be one of them! Rely on a shooting mode to get a good photo. Check out the review!
Mi 13 Pro out of the box: There are two small dissatisfaction on the appearance, but it is harmless
Before talking regarding the camera, it is customary to start with the appearance. The moderator always writes reviews, and always speaks directly. It doesn’t matter how beautiful the camera is when I first praised it. But I have to say, when it comes to the appearance, it’s really ordinary, not very flattering. Ceramic black What the “skin” brings is endless fingerprints and a protruding camera module, which adds a “don’t ask for help” function to the mobile phone (just joking), although it is expected that the lens will definitely protrude when using a 1-inch CMOS , but I still can’t help but want to complain.
Leaving aside the fingerprint collector and the protruding lens, Mi 13 Pro is just an ordinary mobile phone. After all, most mobile phones are the same at present, but maybe the two things I don’t like mentioned above are precisely this phone. The iconic feature of the mobile phone makes it easy to recognize the mobile phone at a glance when viewed from the back.
Let’s do an unboxing with everyone:
▲ Mi 13 Pro packaging box.
▲ It is stated on the box that it cooperates with LEICA.

▲ The chin is quite narrow.

Mi 13 Pro performance benchmark
In terms of specifications, Mi 13 Pro is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, built-in 12GB + 3GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 ROM, with a battery capacity of 4820mAh, and supports 120W wired fast charging, 50W wireless fast charging and 10W reverse charging.
Although the previous Samsung Galaxy S23 series also used the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, they used a customized version for Galaxy that Samsung cooperated with Qualcomm to launch, which is theoretically better than the general Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor in terms of performance. And how far is the performance of Mi 13 Pro, which uses a general Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, from Samsung’s customized version? We found “AnTuTu Review” for you to compare.
According to the results of AnTuTu evaluation, the total score of Mi 13 Pro is 1247227 points. Compared with the customized version used by Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the running score is higher. Among them, the CPU score is 257628 points, while the GPU score is 562499 points.
Comparing the performance of Mi 13 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
| Mi 13 Pro | Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra | |
| total score | 1247227 | 1233331 |
| CPU | 257628 | 263319 |
| GPU | 562499 | 544815 |
In addition, I also use the AndroBench 5 application to test the continuous read and write speed of the ROM. It is known that Mi 13 Pro uses UFS 4.0, but how far is the speed difference between UFS 4.0 and UFS 3.1? In comparison, the gap is very obvious, the continuous reading speed is 3559.27 MB/s, and the continuous writing speed is 2691.85 MB/s, both of which are nearly 1 times faster than UFS 3.1. Taking the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra as a reference, the continuous read and write speeds are 1848.67 MB/s and 1478.68 MB/s respectively.

Mi 13 Pro Camera Review

Let’s not talk regarding whether the LEICA lens used on Mi 13 Pro has a “milk smell”. To be honest, I am not a professional photographer. Whether there is a “milk smell” is not within my consideration. On the contrary, as an ordinary person, an ordinary user , Whether I can take a good photo with Mi 13 Pro is what I am most concerned regarding. I have used Mi 13 Pro to go sightseeing in Macau, and I think that the most beautiful way to shoot with Mi 13 Pro is to use its “portrait mode”. Basically, most of my actual use scenes are in one mode. Modes can be used to shoot randomly and the images will be beautiful. No matter how many other modes there are, they are redundant, right?
In the “Portrait Mode”, there are four effects: black and white, rotating focus, portrait and soft focus, and these four effects actually represent the four focal length lenses of LEICA Summarit-M: 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 90mm , when we usually try mobile phones, we may only try standard, ultra-wide-angle, and zoom, but on Mi 13 Pro, I think unless you need ultra-wide-angle photos, or use the Zoom lens to take pictures of things far away, otherwise any Use “Portrait Mode” for the scene, whether you are using it for shadowing people or not, you can have unexpected and excellent effects.
The following is the image taken by Mi 13 Pro in portrait mode, for your reference:

All the photos shown above are photos taken with the four LEICA focal lengths of the Mi 13 Pro portrait mode. I wonder if you are satisfied following reading it? I would think, not to mention whether it is the kind of “milk flavor” that photographers are following, but with the four classic master lenses in portrait mode, the effect will be no matter what kind of common scenes you are shooting, including portraits, environments, etc. , Food, I think there are several Feel performances. Among them, the black and white effect can take photos full of layers, with clear light and dark, and the rotation focus and portrait effects can take good portrait photos and even food photos. Only the “soft focus” effect, I think it’s a bit over, too soft, but in some scenes, it can shoot a bit like Vitasoy TV commercials in the 1980s (Model is in the photo of eating ice cream), It also has a unique taste.
Finally, I would like to give you a few ordinary photos of different focal lengths for your reference:
summary
After testing the Mi 13 Pro flagship mobile phone, although the appearance of the fuselage failed to attract me, the main reason is the back of the phone that is prone to fingerprints and the protruding camera module. However, even if it is a fly in the ointment, it still has its symbol. Highly recognizable, easy to recognize at a glance. Performance is one of the least worrying things. I always think that in recent years, the CPU of mobile phones has faced the problem of excessive performance. Pay attention to whether there will be overheating problems. Xiaomi 13 Pro does not have this problem at all. In addition to benefiting from the fact that the processor is not like the S8 Gen 1 “charizard” of the previous two generations, I believe Xiaomi has also worked hard on the heat dissipation part. It deserves praise.
As for the camera, LEICA certification and LEICA color correction are certainly selling points, but what I want to say is that as long as you hold Mi 13 Pro in your hand, you will always use the four classic masters in portrait mode no matter what person, object or environment you are shooting. With the lens, it is easy to take beautiful photos like a master. What super wide-angle and zoom, it feels less important.
All in all, the moderator is very satisfied with the camera of Mi 13 Pro, and I believe that Mi 13 Pro will become one of my most used mobile phones this year. I wonder if netizens are interested in this flagship phone?
When the article was published, the suggested retail price of Mi 13 Pro started at $7699. Click here for detailed specifications and the latest selling price.
