Xiaomi today revealed its latest Xiaomi 13T smartphones, designed and engineered for customers worldwide who are ready to unleash their visual artistry. Equipped with advanced performance optimization architecture and lasting battery life, and a crystal-clear display, Xiaomi 13T ensures outstanding smartphone experiences whether shooting photos, watching videos or in daily usage.

Create visual masterpieces with the latest imaging system

Xiaomi 13T features an impressive set of professional camera lenses. The 50MP wide angle camera features a 24mm equivalent focal length with a 7P aspherical lens designed to capture more light. The lens utilizes a multi-layer ALD coating to increase its light transmission rate and reduces optical reflection while the edge coating absorbs reflected light helping users achieve clearer and purer images for shooting at nights especially city scenes and backlit subjects. The 50MP telephoto camera features a 50mm equivalent focal length, while the 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera with a 15mm equivalent focal length, is ideal for capturing impressive panoramic shots of skylines and landscapes. Users simply can click on 0.6X, 1.0X, and 2.0X within the camera interface in the display before shooting, and they can easily use the most suitable lens for every shot.

Xiaomi 13T’s camera has a wide 100% DCI-P3 color range, enabling it to recreate colors that are very similar to human vision. Pro mode now enables users to adjust the levels of saturation, contrast and sharpness of images at the pre-set stage, thereby retaining more details and colors for post-processing. Preferred pre-sets can be saved and applied for future shooting at any time, so users can recreate their distinctive, personal photographic styles.

Candid photographs of people and places are made easier with Xiaomi Imaging Engine, enabling users to capture unmissable moments with incredibly detailed images. When zooming in with the main camera on quick moving objects, such as birds and butterflies, Xiaomi ProFocus technology enables clear images, capturing their movement in flight, as well as being great for shooting people and street scenes.

Xiaomi 13T’s rear cameras shoot video at 4K resolution in all focal lengths and has a host of functions to make it easy to capture and edit short videos ready to post online. Notably, the new separate tracks features for both subtitles and audio within the Xiaomi Gallery application makes it easier for users to edit videos more efficiently on their smartphones to create short videos for any platform or personal vlog.

Users enjoy a faster smartphone experience with longer battery life. When fully charged, Xiaomi 13T supports up to 14 hours of screen-on time, so there’s no need to worry about battery power when traveling around, taking photos and shooting video or watching favorite channels on the daily commute.

Xiaomi 13T supports Xiaomi 67W turbo charging, with a fast charging option that achieves a reassuring 21% in just 5 minutes.1 In addition, the 5000mm (2) stainless steel VC soaking plate achieves faster heat dissipation, convoying the continuous, long hours usage of the large 5000mAh (typ) battery.

Clearly vibrant display enhances video enjoyment
