There’s also a pair of special Leica “photographic styles” named Leica Automatic or Leica Vibrant, as well as some filters (including two for black-and-white images), and it has tuned the portrait mode too. Leica supplies its Vario-Summicron lens for the main camera and optimizes the lenses on the other two cameras. It’s dominated by a 1-inch, 50-megapixel Sony IMX989 camera, which works alongside 50MP wide-angle and a 50MP telephoto cameras. It shows Leica’s successful partnership with Huawei wasn’t a fluke and shines a harsh light on OnePlus and Oppo’s similar pairing with Hasselblad, which has failed to produce such excellent results even after multiple attempts. The Xiaomi 13 Pro’s camera is excellent, and a real reason to consider buying this phone.

It all adds up to a phone that matches the larger Samsung Galaxy S23 series phones and surpasses the OnePlus 11, which lacks comprehensive water and dust resistance. That’s another reason to use the included case. The bioceramic body feels smooth and warm to the touch, adding class and luxury to the phone, but it is likely to break if it’s dropped onto a hard surface. It’s durable, too, with an IP68 water- and dust-resistance rating. While the Galaxy S23 Ultra takes a little getting used to, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is less challenging, and you won’t need to think so hard about the ownership experience before buying it. It means the phone has neatly and quickly integrated itself into my life. There’s nothing very challenging about its shape, the curved Gorilla Glass Victus-covered screen is pleasurable to swipe, and although it’s a great, big heavy thing, it’s well-balanced so it doesn’t feel ungainly. I’ve really enjoyed the Xiaomi 13 Pro’s relative simplicity of design, and its honesty too. Luckily, Xiaomi includes a custom transparent case in the box, and I’ve used it most of the time. The curved sides provide grip, but not a lot of in-hand comfort. For reference, the Galaxy S23 Ultra weighs 234 grams. The Xiaomi 13 Pro is 8.4mm thick and 229 grams heavy, so you know it’s in your pocket. ![]() The phone is big and heavy, showing Xiaomi is targeting potential Galaxy S23 Plus buyers, along with potential Galaxy S23 Ultra buyers who won’t find benefit in the S Pen stylus, but still want a huge screen and masses of power.

The real meaning behind the icon on your phone I don’t think it’s pretty, but I certainly notice it. ![]() ![]() The camera module may not wrap around the side of the chassis, but the bold, square shape ensures the phone doesn’t look like any other. That’s not to say the Xiaomi 13 Pro isn’t unique. Xiaomi is going down a similar route as Samsung, preferring an all-business, sensible design rather than adopting a more eye-catching, style-driven approach favored by OnePlus and Oppo.
