Keep in mind that it's still getting used to my usage pattern now (it's been 5 days), but tbh it should have been better till now - I don't think that it's related to the phone. I got this phone originally for my gf as she cracked her iPhone 14 Pro screen - but then I simply wanted to use the phone and sold my Nothing Phone 2. (regretting it!)
The Xiaomi 13 Pro is actually a great phone, but HyperOS destroys it. I'm gonna get the OnePlus 12 within 2 weeks and sell this Xiaomi.

My return of the phone to China is going through eBay at the moment, but I'm so disappointed that it didn't work. It was my ideal phone, especially for the Leica cameras. We're going to India in September for a month for my son's wedding, and I didn't want to be carrying around my bulky digital camera everywhere, so it seemed the perfect compromise.
Like you, I'm drawn to the 13T pro for the camera quality, but stocks are running low. I hope that I can get my refund soon before they're all gone. This time I'm buying a UK version through Amazon where there are no arguments about refunds if something is faulty.

I think if you are able to unlock it and flash official global frimeware it should be fine, if you still have that phone you should try that first, cause phone as phone is one of best too me. I think its a lot better than 13T Pro or F6 Pro. but if you still much switch and choose between these two i would go for 13T Pro as with F6 Pro you wont get any good cameras thats big disadvantage of Poco phones, they all get very poor and limited camera both hardware and software, and at the end while 13T Pro isnt upgrade to 13 Pro more like downgrade in some cases, its still very good phone, my father have it and he is very satisfied, but even camera is little bit better on 13 Pro and you get that 3.2x super macro posibility when with 13T Pro you get very limited only 2x optical zoom with no proper macro capabilities. But all in all still very good phone. If by some case camera isnt your priority and you barely using it then is only way to consider F6 Pro and it must be minimum 20% cheaper than 13T Pro too be worthy. Hope I helped you.

DuLe, 18 Jul 2024Where you bought it? So problem is, version you bought isnt... moreHi, thanks for your feedback. Yes, as I wanted the blue version I bought it from a seller in HK via eBay. Although the box was factory sealed I'm sure the problems are purely firmware rather than the hardware. Sold as a Global version, but everything I tried to use failed to work or crashed. I'm now going through the painful process of trying to return it when mobile phones are banned by couriers.
After many happy years with Poco F1 and F3, I'll still buy from Xiaomi, but this seemed to be my perfect phone. I should have remembered "Caveat emptor", but not sure whether to go for 13T Pro or F6 Pro. Any preferences?

Hey Emre,I've got the same issue, but I got the phone only 3 days ago so I'd expect it's just getting used to your usage patterns. I'm on EU weekly on a CN Xiaomi 13 Pro btw

Using a 128GB variant right now. It's a great phone, but its battery & CPU is overheating even after light use. Cools down quickly but it's still getting hot very often. Anyone here with the same issue?

So problem is, version you bought isnt real Global Version, since Blue leather version is only Chinese version and its probably modified with Global ROM. Also suspecting it is refurbhished unit if you boguht it from site such as Aliexpress or Ebay.. Please check carefully.

On initial startup it automatically installed 1.0.7 firmware so I never got a chance to know whether that was the issue. The bugs weren't solely the touchscreen, but also the camera crashed, various apps wouldn't work, etc. Xiaomi customer support suggested a factory reset, but that only deleted my data, not the recent firmware updates. Unfortunately it changed nothing, so it's going home to China. Very disappointing as I could see it had great potential. I suppose the moral is that I should have bought a UK model.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Also you didnt mention is it brand new or pre-owned phone.. Maybe its hardware (touchscreen) faulty.. Try doing touchscreen test via CIT testing menu.

Very disappointed after many happy years with Poco F1 and F3, the latter being currently faster and smoother than the 13 Pro.

I have just received my 13 Pro Global version in the UK, and I'm very disappointed so far. It seems very sluggish and there are many bugs, even though I'm on HyperOS 1.0.7. The worst issue is the keyboard, I cannot use either "y" or "6". Each time I try to type y, I get either u or t, sometimes both. Likewise for 6, either 5 or 7, as if y and 6 don't exist. I downloaded and installed a different keyboard but the same problem exists. Bizarrely, when I turned off adaptive screen brightness, the problem went away, only to reappear when I turned the phone on the next day.
Any suggestions please?
