Xiaomi 13 Specifications

Starting with the vanilla Xiaomi 13, it has a faux leather finish on the back and a slightly larger 6.36-inch display compared to the Xiaomi 12. The OLED display has a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels (Full HD+), a 120 Hz refresh rate (Xiaomi 13 does not come with an Adaptive Refresh Rate), Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG support. The screen has a peak brightness of 1,900 nits, the same as the Xiaomi 13 Pro.

The Leica-powered triple camera system includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor with OIS (optical image stabilization), a 10-megapixel OIS-enabled telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor. Up front is a 32MP shooter with full HD video recording capabilities. Other features include Wi-Fi 6e, 5G, Wi-Fi Direct, an under-display fingerprint sensor, and 4500mAh with 67W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Xiaomi 13 Pro Specifications

The Pro model comes with a better and larger 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, Dolby Vision and HDR10 support. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

The Xiaomi 13 Pro's Leica-equipped camera system is a significant upgrade over its siblings, with three 50-megapixel camera sensors (Wide, Ultra Wide, and Telephoto). The telephoto camera offers 3.2x optical zoom. The Xiaomi 13 Pro has a larger 4820mAh battery that supports 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, but the connectivity options are pretty much the same as the vanilla model.

Both Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro will feature MIUI 14 based on Android 13.
