Xiaomi Malaysia had announced 2 new additions to their smartphone lineup, continuing the 12 series legacy, namely the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro . Let’s take a look at each of them and see what they’ve got to offer.
Both the Xiaomi 13’s boasts a Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 processor – Qualcomm’s most advanced mobile platform. Both devices come with UFS 4.0, offering exceptional loading and data transfer speeds, along with LPDDR5 RAM for memory speeds up to 6,400Mbps.
The cameras are the highlight here
The Leica Vario-Summicron 1:19-2.2/14-75 ASPH camera system on Xiaomi 13 Pro covers focal lengths from 14mm to 75mm, and consists of a 23mm wide-angle main camera with an ultra-large 1-inch IMX989 sensor, a 75mm floating telephoto camera, as well as a 14mm ultra-wide angle camera. First seen on Xiaomi 12S Ultra, the IMX989 sensor is the largest sensor ever incorporated into a smartphone.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi 13 has an optical zoom range of 0.6x to 3.2x, and also features a 75mm telephoto lens.
With high dynamic range, superb light-capturing capabilities and fast responses, the large sensor ensures colorful images with distinct contrast and defined textures that reveal every fine detail. By adopting a DSLR-level internal focusing technology, the smartphone’s new 75mm telephoto lens utilizes a floating lens design to achieve a focal range from 10cm to infinity – perfect for framing stunning portraits and beautiful close-ups.
Both smartphones allow manual adjustment of shooting parameters in pro-mode. Xiaomi 13 Pro supports 10-Bit RAW DNG Camera and Color Profiles created by Adobe, leaving professionals greater post-editing room on Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.
