The new Xiaomi 13T smartphones offer an all-around powerful overall package with a waterproof design, ultra-bright OLED screen and thick battery with fast charging. But the focus is particularly on the triple camera with expertise from German camera maker Leica. So we took a closer look at the three sensors for you and tried out two Leica looks.
With the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro, two very exciting smartphones are being launched, which, apart from a new design, have received some changes, especially under the hood. Xiaomi is giving both devices long software support and promises four major Android OS updates and five years of security patches. all more Details about Xiaomi 13T (Pro).Including performance, battery and display, you can find in this article.
However, a lot of attention has also been paid to the triple camera on the back, which again draws on the expertise of German camera specialist Leica. Both smartphones adopt the following sensors:
- 50MP wide angle24mm focal length, 1/1.28″ sensor area, 1.22 μm pixels, ƒ/1.9 aperture, OIS
- 50 MP Tele50mm focal length, 1/2.88″ sensor area, 0.61 μm pixels, ƒ/1.9 aperture, 2x optical zoom
- 12 MP Ultrawetwinkle15mm focal length, 1/3.06″ sensor area, 1.12 μm pixels, ƒ/2.2 aperture
With these three sensors you can capture very diverse perspectives and let off steam creatively. But, thanks to the Leica partnership, they are too Leica – looks authentic and vibrant with the party While Authentic has a more natural, conservative style, Vibrant provides more richness and contrast to images.
There are also six Leica filters, which now have respect to sepia and blue LeicaM Typ240 film mode was expanded. So if you want to deviate a bit from the “normal” look, you can switch between filters at any time and give photos a special look.
First impressions with example photos
I especially like the authentic look because of the relatively natural color. By binning pixels from 50 megapixels to 12 megapixels, Xiaomi ensures a Good mix of sharpness, detail and brightness. With good HDR, which sets photos a bit more conservatively and doesn’t overpower the effect, you can take really nice photos. On the other hand, if you consciously prefer something “poppy”, you can always switch to Leica Vibrant Look and activate AI detection.

And if an object is a bit further away, a telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom is ideal. the “Swirly Bokeh (50mm)” and “Soft Focus (90mm)”, which produce very special photos – but of course this is a matter of taste.
Of course, for photo enthusiasts there is a Pro mode where you can adjust the camera manually. It can also be used for video if you have one (only on the 13T Pro). 10-bit LOG 4:2:0 H.265 film want Here you can either use the pre-installed Rec.709 LUT or import your own LUT. It’s crazy what smartphones can do now, right?
There is someone in front to take selfies 20 MP punch-hole-camera At first glance available, it produces pretty decent photos, but could still use a bit of fine-tuning for our taste. In particular, general sharpness should be a bit higher, as soft focus “kicks in” a bit more even with the beauty filter off – but Xiaomi will surely improve this with a software update.
