Not happening, look up how carrier works.
>India
Not yet, it's planned for Q1 2024 though.
>Russia
How can you be sure? unless you are Russian with access to Xiaomi store there you won't know since Xiaomi Russia online presence is long gone.
>Redmi K60 ultra exist
Do you even know how Xiaomi work? K60 Ultra, a PRC-exclusive is the og phone that 13T is based off. It's priced the same but this is more performance-centric rather than camera-centric though.
>Brasil
Same situation as India for LATAM in general.
>Less than half of the world
Africa and Asia alone already accounts to over 70% of the world, the most expensive official pricing is equivalent to 500 EUR, but availability is few since this is a hot item, so 3rd-party seller inflate the price by about 30-50%.

It's also worth noting that the more expensive the price, the bigger the bundled bonus will be.
For example although Indonesian price is only 400 EUR, the bundled item is only a puny $7 tumbler or shutter while in Spain it's literally bundled with a TV.

Not available officially in India and China, the countries with the largest populations for example. Not available in the US. Don't think it launched in Russia or Brazil either. Plenty of other countries with large populations that they are not available in also

              Onanymaus, 14 Oct 2023Samsung is also still selling lots of phones in Russia. Rar... moreDidn't Samsung stop shipping to Russia. At least there are many articles online saying they did anyway. I use Chinese brands the whole time BTW but think Samsung did stop shipping to Russia despite the loss of profits

                Hulgo, 13 Oct 2023You must be kidding, right? This phone is a waste of sand.... moreSamsung is also still selling lots of phones in Russia. Rarely hear anyone complaining about that. Oh yeah, I forgot Samsung is not from China. In some of the gsmarena commenters' myopic mind, anything from China is automatically bad.

                  Comparatively, for the price, Xiaomi 13T is far more complete than all the phone around it's price range. Sure the Poco F5 and Pro is powerful but it's camera is weak. Sure the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has higher megapixel camera but the ultrawide is lower megapickle.

                  The Xiaomi 13T is basically the 13T Pro with slightly slower charging speed and slightly slower processor. The Dimensity 8200 Ultra is about as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The camera is a triple camera array (bye bye 8MP ultrawide and 2MP useless) and it has IP rating. 67W is still plenty fast. Plus newer display, big battery dual speaker. MIUI isn't the greatest but 5 years software is great at that price even if it's not a flagship. The Redmi and Poco barely gets longer than that.

                  This is probably the first T series phone since the Mi 9T that's actually matches it's siblings spec per spec at lower the price with not many compromises. You should not look down on this one.

                    Exxodia, 13 Oct 2023Garbage phone. I already compared this one against Iphone 1... moreAh yes compare a $700 phone with a $1200 on probably a fake site. Didn't even have a phone in hand. Great opinion but nobody cares what you use.

Interested in it as it is lighter than the glass version, but if it feels more like hard plastic, that will be a nope for me, especially in that color.

                        Kostasliat, 13 Oct 2023I am between the 13T pro and poco f5 pro, both seem great f... moreThe 13t pro is definitely better if you can get it for a similar price. In Europe though it's way more expensive than the Poco F5 pro (around €250-€300 more). The Poco F5 pro is cheaper than the regular Xiaomi 13t. Basically the 13t pro is better in most areas, but especially a lot better in terms of cameras. The only two advantages for the Poco F5 pro are wireless charging (if you use it) and the screen is definitely better in terms of resolution. You can notice the screen difference if you look at them side by side. If cameras are important then definitely the 13t pro is a better choice. If they are not so important then it's a tougher choice

                          I am between the 13T pro and poco f5 pro, both seem great for what they offer. I read that dimensity 9200+ is very powerful and my initial reservations are going away, however I still don't know whether the phone is a better alternative to the poco f5 pro.

                              NeonHD, 12 Oct 2023Not sure about other phones but this oversharpening quirk i... moreAgreed. You have to pixel peep a bit more on other brands, but the smearing is practically screaming out on Samsungs.

                              Nevertheless, all companies go for this same oversharpening effect - to differing degrees, indeed, but it is still there.

                              Personally, once you get used to the subtlety of sharpening on DSLRs and mirorrless cameras, this issue on phones becomes glaringly obvious and somewhat disturbing to me personally.
                              For other people, I guess it doesn't matter as much.

                              Similar to the high refresh rate argument?

                                Hey GSMArena Team! Kindly Tell me which Antutu version v9 and v10 did you used in benchmark test?....
                                Thanks

                                  Anonymous, 13 Oct 2023on par ip15 pro?? apple fan would be so mad read this😊Garbage phone. I already compared this one against Iphone 15 Pro / Max especially at night lol. Pure Xiaomi 13T/Pro is just a pure hype.

                                  PS: the front camera as well is garbage.

                                  Btw I'm galaxy s22 ultra user.

                                    On top of that Xiaomi is still supporting Ruzzia's invasion so you should just not buy anything from them.

                                      Fa14bi, 13 Oct 2023way worse camera, slightly better performance. Not all that worthTrue. It's way way cheaper though so not really a like for like comparison. 400 euro for the 12gb 256gb Poco F5 vs 650 euro for the 8gb 256gb Xiaomi 13t in Germany for example. That's 63% more. Obviously the 13t is better, especially much better for camera but price has to be considered too

My summary would be, in countries like Indonesia and other South East Asian countries this phone is a great deal. In Europe if gsmarena is right on the s23 being close in price then that would make more sense. It's kind of impossible to give an overall view of value for money as you nearly have to go through countries or at least regions one by one
