Xiaomi 13T Pro

Top-notch design, IP68-rated, especially nice Alpine Blue.

The selfie camera is disappointing.

Long story short - the Xiaomi 13T Pro is one of the best phones right now, with top-notch hardware, exceptional execution across the board and a promising future. The launch price is also surprisingly good and we do recommend putting it at the top of...

Capable camera setup ; Solid performance ; Stylish design

MIUI 14 is cluttered and frustrating to use ; 120W charging is slower than 100W alternatives

The Xiaomi 13T Pro is a smartphone that looks and feels the part, and capable hardware, including a 144Hz AMOLED display, triple camera system and 120W fast charging tech that further bolsters that experience. However, as with most Xiaomi devices, it’s...

Huge array of camera features ; Impressive gaming performance ; Noticeably cheaper than competitors

Absurdly large camera bump ; No wireless charging capabilities ; Limited availability

Despite lacking certain premium norms – such as wireless charging – the Xiaomi 13T Pro provides an otherwise near-perfect flagship experience whilst boasting an impressively low price compared to its competition. Its class-leading display, versatile...

Lovely AMOLED screen. Impressive camera. Slick performance. Decent battery life. Fast wired charging.

Selfie camera disappoints. MIUI software is busy and confusing. No wireless charging. Not sold in the US.

Xiaomi's latest 'T' series model offers a flagship level chipset from MediaTek, really fast charging and a sturdy, waterproof design.

Very capable rear cameras with distinctive Leica looks ; Near-flagship grade performance ; Vibrant display set into attractive shell

Image processing overly vibrant at times ; MIUI still quite a complex Android skin ; Plastic build beaten by rivals

Camera-focused mid-ranger takes vibrant snaps, and doesn’t disappoint in other areas either. Competition is fierce at this price, though.

Bright 1220p display ; Excellent Leica cameras ; Solid performance ; Great battery life ; Speedy 120W charging

Plastic frame ; Telephoto lacks OIS ; Limited US band support ; No wireless charging ; Heavy-handed MIUI skin

Starts at under S$1,000 ; 120W HyperCharge wired charging ; Improved IP68 rating ; 144Hz refresh rate ; LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage ; 512GB and 1TB at this price point

Battery life might not last a full day ; Forced to shoot with either Leica colour mode in native camera app ; Odd occurrence of using cropped in image from main camera instead of telephoto camera ; No wireless charging

The TLDR version: Leica-branded camera lenses finally come to the T-series, and Xiaomi isn't even charging extra for some newly added features, making this excellent value for money.
