About This Product
Introduction
Xiaomi’s mid-cycle flagship refresh is now live, and the new T lineup will be remembered for bringing the “co-engineered with Leica” camera and finally bridging the gap between the Number and T series. They are also the first waterproof Xiaomi T phones. Today, we will be reviewing the Xiaomi 13T Pro model, which upgrades the standard 13T with a faster chip, faster charging, 8K video capturing, and Wi-Fi 7.
The Xiaomi T lineup arrives like clockwork – weeks before the Chinese premiere of the Xiaomi 14 series. The T devices are not necessarily updates over the regular models, but they do offer a cherry-picked set of features, which usually target maximum performance or complete camera experience. This year, we got the latter.
