Besp91, 18 Aug 2024I have a xiaomi mi10t from 2021 which gives me over 8 hours... moreI also have the mi10t Pro. I would not have upgraded to 13t pro if it wasn't for the software update which they stop for mi10t Pro. I would say the changes from the upgrade is that it is faster and better camera and of course, OLED screen. HyperOS GUI is a bit different than MIUI 14. I would say it is still worth the upgrade. For 2600 ringgit, the time I bought it.

    Giovanni93, 09 Sep 2024ever thought maybe it's a bug on just your phone?Yes, but i can't update - no matter what i do. It's crap. Poco M6 Pro is acceptable. I will watch the 14T Pro again - but it's the same main camera, like on the Xiaomi 14 "Light hunter 900".

      NoOne75, 07 Jul 2024Battery life is mediocre for the 13T Pro - i barely used it... moreever thought maybe it's a bug on just your phone?

          Gavril, 13 May 2024I have owned a Xiaomi 13T PRO since launch and can confirm ... moreBut my battery won't long for one day normal usage the charge is draining fast 3% drain for 1 hour idle I don't think it's normal

            JayRoar, 21 Feb 2024Yep battery life and charging is very good. Even camera per... moreBattery life is mediocre for the 13T Pro - i barely used it, 2-3 hours ago it was fully charged at 100%, even battery saver on, now doen to 87% and i have had just used Whatsapp a few minutes. Really, this Phone is the pimpshit! Overhyped, overrated. My Redmi Note 9 Pro into 2020-2024 had easily 2-3 days battery life, never dropping it so fast.

              This phone is the biggest mess, i have ever had. Leica camera so-so, of course, it's a mediocre Sensor size, for a phone, simply good enough. But what the hell sucks on my 13T Pro - absolutely into no way it's possible to upgrade to a later HyperOS release than 1.0.4.0....it always says it does find nothing via OTA - and if i try to copy the latest, official ROM from Xiaomi servers to internal storage - downloaded_rom, it does always say: Can't verify update, Can't flash ROM.

              Sorry Xiaomi - this sucks hard ! I have Xiaomi for as long as almost 10 years, not a single trick is working with this. And i am not starting to fiddle out, tinkering around with bootloader unlock, various MediaTek Win10 drivers, and flash with the Mi Tool...no way! At this price level - no functional OTA upgrade, shows only one thing: It's PITA out of the Box! I am angry for dropping too much money onto this cr@p. 6th and my last Xiaomi for Life. End of story.

                I bought one when it first came out here in the UK, and for someone that changes phones regularly......actually I have no desire to do so as I simply love it. It really is a quality piece of hardware and takes some superb photos. Great battery, great screen and. One thing I really like is the weight. Compared to lugging around the s23 ultra or similar it's a joy.

                I do keep looking at what may be in store for the 14t pro, but it will have to be pretty special for me to consider a change ATM. I may even squeeze another year out of this at least before considering a move 😂

                    I have owned a Xiaomi 13T PRO since launch and can confirm everything said in this review. This phone is basically the best choice for its money. And related to bugs, I didn't have to deal with it. Everything works great, the games actually run great (genshin impact game with all graphic settings set to maximum and the game moves great), the only downside is when you have a longer game session, about an hour or more, it practically heats up pretty good, not unbearable but noticeably warmer than after a 30 minute session.

                            I got a 13T Pro based on GSMArena review and the specs. My first Xiaomi, I was departing from a long lived Huawei experince with a Mate 20 that was as versatile and trustable as they come.

                            I've had the 13T Pro for six months now and I couldn't be more disappointed, quite frankly. I don't feel it is as snappy as the Mate 20 was in 2019 being a one year old piece of hardware. Also, MIUI and HyperOS are no match for the Huawei OS layer even five years ahead and some things present in the Huawei that were very handy, like the macro capabilities, here are missing (granted, I should have make sure that it was present before buying).

                            It's of course a personal opinion. I don't run benchmarks and I don't game on the phone, wich could be a potential pro for many.

                            EDIT: I forgot that I'm getting absurd shutdowns sometimes after the fingerprint reader seems to get overloaded or something. I put the finger, feel vibration, but the screens keeps dark. I go again and then nothing, the phone is shut down and needs reboot.

The best solution for that is using a blower at low heat-low fan with at least 6 inches away from phone to avoid damaging the sensor. Do it atleast 5 minutes. It removed my condensation and not having it after.
