The smartphone received top-end features, some of which have no analogues. Much attention has been paid to the capabilities of the camera.
The flagship device from the Chinese brand has got four 50-megapixel cameras. The main 1" sensor is a Sony IMX989, complemented by a wide-angle lens and two telephoto lenses (all with a Sony IMX859 sensor). All lenses feature advanced Summicron lenses developed by Xiaomi in collaboration with Leica.
According to the company, although the device has four cameras, there are as many as six focal lengths. The zoom range here is in scales of 0.5x-10x, and the aperture is f/1.8-f/4.0. Such characteristics were achieved thanks to the main camera, which can adjust the aperture from f/1.8 to f/4.0, which makes it possible to adjust the amount of light captured by the matrix. In addition, the first telephoto can provide a 3.2x optical zoom, while the second telephoto can switch from 5x to 10x optical zoom by moving the lenses in the lens.
In the past flagships of the brand, there were special filters from Leica, and they did not deviate from this tradition here. Also, the photo capabilities of the device allow you to get 14-bit RAW images and 10-bit videos, which are then easily processed in editors. Fast transfer of received photos and videos from a smartphone to a PC is provided by the latest USB 3.2 Gen 1 connector, which provides transfer speeds up to 5 Gb/s.
Fans of photography on smartphones will have the opportunity to purchase an additional cover that turns the device into a kind of digital camera. The case provides a comfortable grip thanks to the protrusion, and it also has a physical shutter button, which adds authenticity. The case is priced at $116.
The second important component of the flagship device is the screen. The device received a C7 display from TCL with an AMOLED matrix and curved edges. The screen has a record breaking brightness for smartphones of 2600 nits. The previous record was held by the OPPO Find X6 Pro smartphone (2500 nits), and an even earlier limit was held by the iPhone 14 (2000 nits). The Xiaomi 13 Ultra has a 6.73" WQHD+ (2K+) display. Other features include 1-120Hz dynamic sweep and 1920Hz PWM dimming.
The hardware filling of the flagship is traditional for 2023. The device is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. A 5000 mAh battery is responsible for the autonomy of the device, which supports wired and wireless charging up to 90 and 50 W, respectively. According to the manufacturer, 1% charge can give 12 minutes of phone conversation and about an hour of standby time. In addition, the body of the device has protection according to the IP68 standard, so dust and water will not get into the device even if it is buried at the bottom of a reservoir for a short time.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra starts at $873 for the 12GB/256GB memory variant. For the 16/512 GB version, you will have to pay $945. And for a configuration of 16 GB/1 TB they will ask for $ 1062. Soon the device will be available in the Chinese market, and in a few months it will appear in other regions.
