After months of leaks and speculation, Xiaomi finally revealed its mid-range flagship–the Xiaomi 13T series. And for the first time, Pinoy Xiaomi fans can get the device together with the rest of the world with preorders starting today.
This new series now with Leica, brings forth a smartphone that promises to be the ultimate tool for tech-savvy Filipinos looking to unleash their visual artistry. Boasting professional optical lenses from Leica, the Xiaomi 13T Series is set to deliver Authentic Leica Imagery, capturing the essence of the iconic Leica experience. The 13T series also brings advanced performance optimization, enduring battery life, and a crystal-clear display, all of which promise outstanding smartphone experiences, be it in photography, video consumption, or daily usage.
Pro-Level Leica Photographic Capabilities:
At the heart of the Xiaomi 13T Series lies its photographic prowess. Both the Xiaomi 13T Pro and Xiaomi 13T feature a triple-camera setup co-engineered with Leica, incorporating Summicron lenses. Among these, a 50MP wide-angle camera, with a 24mm equivalent focal length and a 7P aspherical lens, stands out. It’s designed to capture more light, supporting high dynamic range shooting. Additionally, a 50MP telephoto lens with a 50mm equivalent focal length, and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera with a 15mm equivalent focal length, are ideal for panoramic shots and breathtaking landscapes. Boasting a 100% DCI-P3 color range, both Xiaomi 13T Pro and Xiaomi 13T promise to capture every magical moment with classic Leica quality.
What sets the Xiaomi 13T Series apart are its two original Leica photographic styles: Leica Authentic Look and Leica Vibrant Look. These styles offer highly striking imagery possibilities with natural color reproduction, strong contrast, and shadow definition, in line with classic Leica aesthetics. Furthermore, users can explore six Leica filters, including the latest Leica Sepia and Leica Blue, adapted from the Leica M-Typ240 Film Mode. Four new Leica watermarks also add to the array of creative options available to users, allowing for personalized photo compositions and frame sizes.
Xiaomi 13T Series doesn’t stop at shooting; it extends its creative capabilities with Custom photographic styles under Pro mode. This feature, initially introduced in the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, enables users to adjust Tone, Tonality, and Texture at the pre-set stage, retaining more details and colors for post-processing. Users can save preferred pre-sets for distinctively personal photographic styles.
For those who love capturing fast-moving subjects, the Xiaomi 13T Series comes equipped with Xiaomi ProFocus technology. This feature allows photographers to capture unmissable action with incredible detail, from close-up shots of fast-moving subjects to compelling images of people and places.
Stunning Video Capabilities:
The Xiaomi 13T Pro takes videography to new heights. It offers 10-bit LOG 4:2:0 H.265 video recording, providing unprecedented control over color and detail. A pre-installed Rec.709 LUT adds a professional touch to videos, ensuring unparalleled color accuracy and visual depth. For those who want a more personalized touch, the Xiaomi 13T Pro allows users to import their favorite LUT styles, adding their signature flair to videos. The Xiaomi 13T Pro is also equipped with 8K video shooting capability, delivering theater-screening quality for every scene, nuance, and detail.
The Xiaomi 13T Series ensures smooth 4K video recording at all focal lengths, with fast and efficient editing. The Pro mode of the Video editor feature in the Xiaomi Gallery application allows for easy editing of captions and additional soundtracks as separate tracks, making it ideal for creating short videos for social media platforms or personal vlogs.
Breathtaking Visual and Audio Experience:
Both the Xiaomi 13T Pro and Xiaomi 13T Series feature wide-ranging power efficiency enhancements and long-lasting battery life, offering a faster and more efficient smartphone experience.

The Xiaomi 13T, on the other hand, is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra, offering superb power efficiency through the latest TSMC 4nm process.
Xiaomi 13T Pro supports Xiaomi’s 120W HyperCharge, enabling a full charge in just 19 minutes.
