Xiaomi launched the 13T Pro and 13T as a way to bring its Leica mobile photography partnership to mid-range and affordable phones. The results are strong evidence that brands can produce cost-effective cameras for those on tighter budgets.
Qualcomm announced its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform on Tuesday and smartphone maker Xiaomi wasted no time in launching its first smartphones to utilize Qualcom''s new, super-fast chip.
Xiaomi unveiled two new smartphones in its Leica-affiliated lineup ta a launch event in Berlin, this time going the more mid-range and affordable route by way of the 13T Pro and 13T.
If there was even a sliver of doubt that Xiaomi wanted the mobile photography crown, the 13 Ultra is the phone to dispel that notion and cement that pursuit. Xiaomi equipped it with the tools to take on the best, no matter who the other brands are.
The Apple iPad rules the tablet space to the degree that there really aren't any true challengers despite attempts from the likes of Samsung and Lenovo. Xiaomi is also in that ring and is attempting to differentiate its Pad 6 by positioning it as a tool for "more effective work."
Xiaomi has announced the 13 Ultra smartphone which features a quad-camera array that was co-engineered with Leica. The main camera is particularly special, as it features a variable aperture in front of a large Type 1 sensor.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro may be a successor to the previous 12 Pro, but it’s just as easy to argue that it’s more a continuation of the 12S Ultra that was only released in China. That was the first to use the Type 1 (13.1 x 9.8mm) Sony IMX989 sensor -- the same one from the popular Sony RX100 -- only customized to Xiaomi’s liking.
Can a mid-range smartphone that focuses more on gaming also deliver something worth capturing with its cameras? The Poco X5 Pro acts like it’s up for the job, only to then force a lot of compromises.
On the eve of Mobile World Congress 2023 in Barcelona, Xiaomi has finally unveiled its plans to launch its 13 Pro flagship to markets outside of China, where the device first debuted in December 2022.

Xiaomi has announced the 12T series of smartphones and the flagship 12T Pro is equipped with a 200-megapixel sensor to create massive photos and 8K videos.

Leica has announced that 2021/22 was its best financial year in its more than 100-year history. It increased revenue by 16% to 450 million euros.
Xiaomi has announced its 12S Series which includes the Ultra that was co-engineered with Leica. That flagship features the world's largest smartphone sensor: a 50-megapixel 1-inch sensor behind a 23mm f/1.9 Leica lens.
Xiaomi has announced that it's upcoming 12S Ultra will use the full size of Sony's IMX989 1-inch sensor. The phone, which is also co-developed with Leica, will be announced on July 4.
You may know Xiaomi, but do you know Poco? Xiaomi’s sub-brand isn’t a household name on this side of the world, and the F4 GT isn’t necessarily a camera-first phone, either.
Leica has teamed up with Xiaomi in a new long-term strategic partnership to create smartphones, the first of which will launch later this year.
Xiaomi may not be a household name in North America, but the brand is a rising force around the world and now sits in third place behind Apple and Samsung. One reason it hit those heights is the way it continues to innovate on the camera side of things, which is what the 12 Pro is supposed to illustrate.

According to a report from LetsGoDigital, the Chinese smartphone company Xiaomi has patented three new smartphone designs with huge camera arrays developed in a collaboration with Samsung.
In a play on smartphone design that would make them much more like traditional cameras, Xiaomi has patented a modular smartphone that would accept interchangeable nodes, each one with different functions.
