Xiaomi 13T review

12 October 2023


Sort by:

I bought this phone after mi 11 t that broke. I am viry disappointed by this phone. The most recent os is full of serious bugs. It suddenly stopped correctly functioning. I couldn't fix the problems. I started system restore. After the restore google required me to enter a 2 digit number but there was no place to enter them the screen had no pulldown menu. Finally iwas not able to perform backup restore and was forced to reinstall everything from scratch. I mainly buy Xiaomi because the IR Port but will not buy Xiaomi any more. After all setup it is not nice to use. I prefer the galaxy a 34 a lot

      Dont buy this phone. Completely useless piece of junk. I bought it for 350€ and it cant even answer calls. I call someone, they pick up and my microphone doesnt work. Camera and video quality is a solid 4/10 . Brightness lock doesnt work while shooting a video. There is endless bugs, battery lasts a dogshit, barely few hours. It heats up so much it is uncomfortable. I made such a poor choice buying this phone. Please just dont buy the T series. Its the worst.

              NEVER BUY THIS MODEL

              If you want to have a good charging and perfect screen; Yo should choose 13 pro +
              If you want ti have a good camera and good style or maybe better body quality you should choose A55 or xia 12 pro.

                Anonymous, 25 Dec 202313T user. Don't buy dumbest cp ever i bought. You will... moreI had similar experiences with some cheap Poco/Redmi models in past (very poor connectivity and lot of times I had to reboot my phone). I thought is because they were cheap models, and Xiaomi cut some corners in some components inside the phone.
                But, if what you are saying is true even for this more expensive Xiaomi models, then is not looking good.

                  In Czechia this phone cost now 350EUR (base model, 8Gb/256Gb). For someone who wants an upper mid-range phone at a reasonable price (Android), is hard to beat it.
                  The only downsize let's say, is that is 1 year old and the new 14T is just around the corner. But the 14T will most certainly cost 200EUR more (around the 500-550EUR mark).

                    Battery really give issue to me. It was draining faster than expected and compared to my spouse phone. Hyper os 1

                      "...are decent for this sort of camera" is my fav phone reviewers comment on these current Xiaomi Ultrawide 15mm f2.2 cameras.
                      Now here's the thing. I already own and love my Note 10 Pro which has a better 16mm 20MP imager like the Huawei Mate 20, but neither of them, are great and it is time we stopped accepting "decent for this sort of camera" quality levels for phone ultrawide cameras, because with their far greater ability to see more of a scene at the same distances compared to the normal main cam's lens (about 4x) they NEED 4x the resolution that the main cam has, and this does not just mean a lens at least as good as the main cams, but a very large sensor indeed: at least as big asthe genuinely big sensors matching the genuinely high resolution 40+ resolution of the Purview 808 and Microsoft Lumia 1020 phones.
                      These were made to be able to resolve fine detail as well as pro Nikon and Canon full-frame cameras at low isos, thereby now solving good low-light results because we now have image stabilization AND lenses that are able to pass two to three times the amount of light the old ones did.
                      We have f1.6 lenses, and providing an f1.4 Ultrawide should be a doddle in our day and age allowing far better quality images than can be had from "quad-bayer" and worse.
                      When manufacturers begin to demand best quality results rather than "good enough for this sort of camera" results from Ultrawides, AND use simple sensors whose resolution is as stated and not interpolated down from whatever 48, 50, 108, or 200 MP chip to 12 or 12.5MP, then you can all make again the great ultrawide panoramas that quad-bayer refuses to allow with Ultrawides now AT ALL. however good the cameras and sensors become in the future as software stitching and correction in the quad-bayer area appears too difficult to accomplish.

                          Are your sure camera IQ is better than old Mi 11? From your test pictures this doesn't look the case (main camera, tele and UW)

                            İ have purchased this phone 2 months ago , everything about this phone is perfect except for one thing, it's screen got scratch very easily, i am really not a clumsy or messy person and i preserve my stuff properly, but just on the second day after i bought it i noticed a 2 cm scratch on its screen while i didn't drop it at all. And then i decided to be careful even more but just couple weeks later i noticed another scratch worth than that and it really pissed me off , i don't really know what this gorilla 5 screen protection is but i am sure it's a bulshit

                              Donatask, 29 Nov 2023What to choose 13t or pixel 7? Same price. For daily tasks,... moreI have the same question, I have read some articles and done some research. There's no definitive answer for me at this point.

                              • 13T's main cam produces better image quality than the Pixel 7:

                              (but noticeable only at 100%, daylight photos)

                              • Pixel 7 has better UI and UX design. Well-designed, easy to use and navigate. (Debatable based on personal preference.)

                              • DXO's battery results show that 13T scores are better than Pixel 7's

                              • 13T has a telephoto lens, but is limited to 50mm (more like medium telephoto); Pixel 7 doesn't have a telephoto lens
