omeninodomorro, 27 Feb 2023Who gone give 999$ for this. Its over price for a phone tha... morebetter than s23 ultra that roughly has the same price as 14 pro max😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    A honest Xiaomi user, 27 Feb 2023The cameras of the Xiaomi 13 are much worse than the Samsun... more"The Xiaomi 13 has a worse screen than the Samsung S23 as it has lower dpi and lower auto brightness, also lower contrast and worse calibration."

    Duh! All two devices with the same resolution and different screen size will result in a DPI difference. Good luck spotting the individual pixels in the Xiaomi 13 over the S23. They are both good enough in terms of resolution, Captain Grasping at Straws ;-)

    Then the rest of your statement is simply incorrect.

    Xiaomi 13 screen brightness test results:
    Xiaomi 13 (Max Auto) Min 0 Max 1254 nits
    Manual mode 507 nits

    Samsung S23 screen brightness test results:
    Samsung Galaxy S23 (Max Auto) Min 0 Max 1198
    Manual mode 476 nits

    So the Xiaomi reaches higher in both tests and in case you don't know anything at all about contrast, it is based on the maximum brightness vs. the minimum brightness. Minimum is 0 for both due to the amoled panels, hence "infinite" contrast, but realistically the Xiaomi offes higher contrast as it offers higher maximum and peak brightness. And this is sustained maximum brighthess where Xiaomi 13 actually delivered slightly above specs and we know peak brightness is significantly higher than Samsung's S23.

    Whats more the S23 only has a 8-bit panel, capable of displaying only 16.7 million colors, where the Xiaomi has a 10-bit panel capable of displaying 1 billion colors.

    In other words, a superior display on the Xiaomi 13.

    "Who sees movies on a 6" display and anyways, right now Dolby Vision is barely supported by 1-2% of movies from online streaming platforms such as Netflix, HBO or Roku."

    Yey! Statistics from a comment section is my favorite, how did you know?

    Did you know that teenagers and young adults under the age of 30 don't have anywhere near the same relationship to large screen TVs as the previous generations did? It's the smartphone is the main display and Dolby Vision is not at all the same as basic HDR10 at all. The benefit of DV's dynamic metadata fully utilizing the capabilities of the display is superior to the static metadata of HDR10, which is what the S23 is limited to from Netflix, Disney+ etc.

    Even if the S23 gained support for DV, which it likely won't because Samsung is too cheap when it comes to DV, it still wouldn't be able to reproduce 10-bit colors nor reach the peak brightness of the Xiaomi.

    Pretty much all new Disney+ and almost all new Netflix, Amazon etc is Dolby Vision, despite Samsung's failed attempt to throw money at Amazon to use their HDR10+.

    As near as make no difference, all movies in theater since 2015 have had Dolby Vision and even old classic movies have one by one been getting the Dolby Vision treatment as well. Not just mainstream classics and blockbusters, but even cult classics most people haven't heard of have Dolby Vision releases now.

    I get it, you like Samsung and you want a Samsung device. which is fine. Go get it. Being biased is allowed.

    The main camera sensor is larger and Xiaomi's software offers less noise and less over sharpening. A clear win. The telephoto has longer range, and is also a larger sensor. On the ultrawide the S23 should be better. So if ultrawide is more important for the user than the primary and/or telephoto, then S23 is okay to go for.

    With regards to the front facing camera. 4k video recording with the onboard camera app could be used for vlogging, except it's isn't ideal for that, being at a 26mm focal lenght and a max aperture of f/2.2. Not ideal for vlogging, where 24mm or less is recommended. So the Xiaomi 13 with its 22mm focal range and f/2.0 would actually be more suitable. I don't get why Xiaomi doesn't offer 4K video recording though their native app, other than perhaps optimizing for 1080p instead since most apps only support 1080p or less.

    The 4K recording from the selfie camera has limited 3rd party support btw. Many apps limit to 720p still (Messenger and Google meet in example) whilst some limits to 1080p (Skype). So it really only matters for vloggers, who would likely get a better phone than either of these two.

    If the front facing video recording at 4k is the main purpose of the phone, than sure, the S23 supports it and the Xiaomi 13 doesn't, natively at least.

    "Sound is neither better than S23 as it might be a bit more powerful in internal speakers, but the quality is worse, the bass is much worse, there is no real Hi-Fi support as the Xiaomi can only stand 192kHz audio and the S23 offers real Hi-Fi 384kHz"

    Where to begin? Do you even know what Hi-Fi is? Stereo music typically has a 44.1kHz sample rate, and is 16-bit, even lossless on CDs. Some master at 48 or 96 kHz, which again is within what the Xiaomi supports, but streaming services (Tidal, Spoitfy etc) cap it at 44.1 kHz though. Video streaming services, such as Netflix, with surround formats, use 48 kHz (24-bit).

    Objectively performed measurements of the built-in speakers show that the Xiaomi performs better. With external equipment connected by bluetooth, it will be equal, regardless of Samsung's marketing gimmicks.

    The GPS system of the Xiaomi also wins, and it has infrared sensor. Some nice bonuses to have.

    As for the price, I've already agreed with the previous comment, the Xiaomi 13 is priced high compared to this rival and the iphone 14 and especially the Pixel 7. Yes, the pixel 7 is worse in most aspects, but for the non-enthusiast user it's just as capable as the Xiaomi 13, Samsung S23 and iphone 14 and a great deal price wise.

                                    Just 108h endurance hours for a 4.500mAh battery with the best processor even made? I guess it's the gift for having MIUI - together with bugs, incompatibilities and extremely late updates you also get the software with the biggest battery consumption. The 3.900mAh S23 got 102 hours. That's the difference between good and bad software.

                                    They ask for 1.000€ but the camera is too plain, much worse than a Samsung S23 or a Vivo X90 Pro and both are cheaper. Again thanks to MIUI and the mediocre ISP they have. The photos and videos have problems and lack of quality because of the processing. Also the 200$ 32mpx 1080/30 selfie bruh... this phone should be at most 500€ given the fact all the much it lacks in most features.

                                      Marco M, 27 Feb 2023The lacking support for Dolby Vision does mean that the Sam... moreThe cameras of the Xiaomi 13 are much worse than the Samsung S23 is we count all sensors (yes, much) and if we only count main sensor, still considerably worse. Worse sensor as it's not the 1" one from the 13 Pro + MIUI ISP means disaster. And camera reviews are actually proving this fact. Lots of artifacts, saturation, bad dynamic range... The UW camera is even worse and the selfie is directly mediocre, as it's a 200$ phone selfie camera, mediocre quality with 1080p 30fps video while the Samsung can do 4K 60fps HDR+ front video so the difference in cameras is extreme.

                                      Now for the display you're wrong again. The Xiaomi 13 has a worse screen than the Samsung S23 as it has lower dpi and lower auto brightness, also lower contrast and worse calibration. The 1900 nits of the Xiaomi 13 series are again marketing as they can only be reached by watching HDR video from Xiaomi Gallery (just from there!) peak auto brightness (the one you'll use every day) is barely above 1000 nits so still behind Samsung.

                                      And FYI I will give you a free advice. Dolby Vision is just a marketing tag (brands have to pay to have it) and it's nothing different from normal HDR or at least not in a 6" display I mean seriously dude that's your point to defend this Xiaomi? Who sees movies on a 6" display and anyways, right now Dolby Vision is barely supported by 1-2% of movies from online streaming platforms such as Netflix, HBO or Roku.

                                      Sound is neither better than S23 as it might be a bit more powerful in internal speakers, but the quality is worse, the bass is much worse, there is no real Hi-Fi support as the Xiaomi can only stand 192kHz audio and the S23 offers real Hi-Fi 384kHz audio which is 1000 times more important than the marketing Dolby Vision you like to talk about. No Hi-Fi sound for a 1.000€ phone is this a joke or what?

                                      And now to finish, this Xiaomi is in no man's land. It's not compact and it's way too heavy (almost 190gr vs 160gr for the Samsung S23) despite having 600mAh more it barely has a very slightly better battery (108 vs 102h endurance in GSMArena tests) lots of weak points like if it was a 300$ phone like is 1080p selfie or USB 2.0 or Optical fingerprint sensor or Gorilla Glass 5 or lack of eSIM support (the S23 has the most advanced ultrasonic sensor and Gorilla Victus 2) and MIUI is the top of the cake, the worst software with only 2-3 years of updates against One UI with 5 years of updates. And the S23 is even cheaper while it's quite superior in all except for fast charge.

                                        Am I the only one that had never had a problem with MIUI? I own a Mi9T Pro since November 2019 and i had zero issues with the software. Yes, updates don't come as fast as Samsung or Pixel, but they are decent. Once every 3 months is fine. You don't need a security patch and a 100 new features every month. Security updates for my phone stopped coming in June 2021 but the phone is still usable, you know? Cameras and battery don't suddenly stop working. xD And I don't work for CIA, so that I would need top protection for my phone and I don't visit shabby websites. xD

                                        But yes. A 1000€ for a base Xiaomi 13 is a lot to ask from the costumers from EU. It's cheaper to import one from China and install an EU ROM and still have money to spare. xD
