Xiaomi 13T Pro

The Xiaomi 13T Pro is a flagship phone that brings a full suite of premium features at a relatively lower price point compared to Xiaomi's top-tier models. With its partnership with Leica, the phone excels in camera capabilities, boasting a 50MP main cam, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2x telephoto cam. The phone's design is impressive, featuring a sleek glass or eco-leather back, an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, and a premium OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The interface is the global version of MIUI 14 on top of Android 13, which promises four years of major Android updates and five years of security patches. Under the hood lies a Mediatek Dimensity 9200+ chipset, providing raw performance that rivals other flagship Android phones. The phone's battery life is good, with an endurance rating of 102 hours in our tests, and charging speeds are exceptional thanks to the bundled 120W gallium nitride charger. The camera capabilities shine, particularly in low-light conditions, where the main cam produces excellent results with rich detail, balanced processing, and natural-looking foliage. The phone can also shoot 8K video, although quality is nothing special. While the selfie cam performance lags behind other cameras, the Xiaomi 13T Pro overall offers a compelling package of premium features at an affordable price point, making it well worth recommending for those seeking a high-end smartphone experience.

But what really sets it apart is its 165Hz refresh rate, ultrasonic shoulder triggers, and impressive battery life - all of which make for an unparalleled gaming experience. Can it live up to the hype?
