Xiaomi 13T Pro | Unboxing & 5 Day Review

Unboxing the Xiaomi 13T Pro with a 5 day review of that Leica camera setup, gaming performance, battery life and beyond. The Xiaomi 13T Pro is a step down from the flagship phones for specs but boasts some capable optics, fast charging and more great features.

UK prices are £649/£699/£799 for the 256/512/1TB phones, with early bird offers

First up, the Leica vario-summicron camera hardware is solid for everyday photography. The 50MP 24mm sensor with OIS works well even at night, capturing bright, crisp images. You can also shoot up to 8K video on the Xiaomi 13T Pro and there’s an ultra-wide and telephoto lens for flexibility.

While these phones often disappoint for software support, that’s not a problem here. The Xiaomi 13T Pro will enjoy five years of security updates, plus four OS updates, matching many more expensive smartphones.

Gamers will love that Mediatek Dimensity 9200 Plus performance, with the fresh Immortalis-G715 MC16 GPU. Genshin Impact runs beautifully, helped by the Xiaomi 13T Pro’s dedicated cooling system.

That IP68 water resistance and fake leather back gives a premium touch, although the plastic edging is a shame. But no complaints from that 6.67-inch AMOLED screen, with HDR10+ AND Dolby Vision support. It’s incredibly bright and backed by stereo speakers.

Last up, the Xiaomi 13T Pro can keep going all day with its 5000mah battery. Plus the 120W HyperCharge support means you’ll be back to full power in no time.

Huge thanks for watching this early review of the Xiaomi 13T Pro. Hoping to also cover the regular 13T soon, which has a slightly less powerful 8200 Ultra chipset and slower (but still nippy) 67W charging, from £549. Pricing in the video description!

The best valued phone Xiaomi ever released - powerful chipset, good cameras, and even IP68 at this pricing is INSANE! 🔥

Just watched the launch event. This review came in perfect time ❤️

Love what xiaomi is doing with their products (especially my favourite line up is the Poco F5 and the Redmi 13 pro (which will most likely be a Poco rename for the international markets).


Xiaomi 13T pro looks marvelous. Love the review as well.

[theghosto]

finally Xiaomi device with ip68 and long support software for 4 years android updates thnx for awesome review like usually ❤👍

[JoshuaBrown-udui]

The Xiaomi 13T Pro's powerful processor, mediatek dimensity 9200+ is a beast! That 144Hz AMOLED display and Leica camera system are just icing on the cake. Really looking forward to some blur free photography.

[dynamicvibe]

Love the design both front and back.
The vegan leather is stunning plus the IP68 certification.
I only wish it should have a 3x telephoto cam instead of 2x.

[Rampant_Mongoose]

I really love your fair a scarily accurate reviews lad

[andrewshiu]

Main camera sensor is the Sony IMX707, which was featured in the Xiaomi 12 pro, very good value!

My previous phone was a xiaomi Redmi note something prime and I can say that xiaomi produces really strong and durable phones. I Iove it and I love your videos.

[AtuWisdom]

I JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MR. CHRIS I'M SO GLAD YOU FINALLY MADE THIS REVIEW

Just ordered my 12gb 512gb in blue, and if you order from mi store you get a free xiaomi pad 6 worth £369. Plus extra stuff like 100gb google storage for 6 months and a free screen replacement within one year. Thought both the main and telephoto would have iOS, but having used an 11t pro for nearly two years now, and was quite happy with the cameras on that. Just want to see how the speakers compare, as they are not Harmen Kardon turned like in the last two.

It's quite a while since this review but I purchased a Xiaomi 13T Pro based on this. Maybe I am missing something but I am returning it. I have an Oppo Find X5 Pro, which has been excellent but I was drawn to the Xiaomi because it has 120 Watt charging, more storage, a brilliant screen and supports the latest WiFi standards with 4 years of updates. How disappointed was I when I fired up the Xiaomi, the mobile signal is 1 bar in my house vs 5 bars on my Oppo. The Xiaomi holds onto the weakest WiFi signal on my Mesh system and refuses to change to the strongest signal unless I turn WiFi off and back on and worse than that the battery life is woeful, I had to charge it 3 times in one day! Why do reviewers never test the mobile signal strength? Isn't that the main point of a phone? Anyway, thought I would share. I am holding on to the Oppo, much superior where it matters.

[davidbezzant]

Woah this phone looks incredible for the price in the UK to be honest! Free tablet thrown in and a boost with trade in for your old phone too! Making my wallet sweat haha

[teppoolkkonen]

If the leather is not from a real live vegan, i'm not 'avin' it.

[tunde-sanniabdulhameed]

Watched the launching ceremony earlier, can't wait to lay my hands on this beaut 😊

Hey, thanks for the shoutout and all your reviews! Managed to bork my Pixel 2 trying to change the battery yesterday and ended up going with this one, Google asking 300 euros more for (in many ways) worse specs struck me as a bit much. Really hoping the camera works for me, I have mixed feelings about the aggressively contrasty look the default software tends to produce but I suppose there is always GCam. Also I learned from another review that the vignetting and other aspects of the photo processing that might not always be desirable can be switched off. Really appreciate the flat screen and five years of support on this one, I think that makes it a better deal than the similarly priced Xiaomi 13 that is almost a year old at this point so 20% less support. Maybe 5 years is long enough for a device. Was about time for an upgrade.

Just bought this in Bangkok for £360 and love it. Lots of free presents, power bank, Bluetooth speakers, rechargeable desk top fan, umbrella, and more

[Almosteverything]

Xiaomi fan from 2010 . Amazing stuff again

[englandcalling]

The regular 13T has the same display, and Leica cameras, with an 8200 Ultra chipset and 67W charging. From Xiaomi's UK website a 13T is currently £479! Same 4 OS upgrades, and security updates to 2028.
