Here in India it is priced very competitively, its priced at $850 dollars and S23 is $1523, almost double. And iphone 14 pro max is in $1600-1700 range.
So this is very sweetly priced, but IP68 is removed from the indian version which is fine. Overall build is great, a tad top heavy but manageable. Camera's are good mostly but images are not flashy like other phones, you wont love image at the first sight as the colour seems little dull and brightness is also less due to high contrast, but once you zoom and see the details you understand the quality of the photos. Actually for day to day users they would always prefer samsung or one plus as they produce punchy social media ready image but with 13 pro you will have to edit the image a little to attain that punch. Worst part is the UI/UX, still bloated, lot of unnecessary notifications from Xiaomi app store, theme store etc. Inconsistent menu options and bad software updates support. We are almost halfway in April but my phone still has security patch for January. And this is their flagship phone. I am expecting Android 14 when samsungs and one plus users start receiving Android 15.
Wanted to buy Vivo X90pro+ but it is not yet launched in India, so settled with 13 pro. Overall a good phone for this price, with some excellent camera hardware but need better software optimizations to create wonders.

I have to say, after seeing and holding this phone in person for the first time, the build quality is really solid. The in-hand feel is so, so much better than the S23 Ultra and 14 Pro Max. The curved sides are so smooth and comfortable to hold, unlike the unfriendly boxy edges of the aforementioned phones (this also makes the 13 Pro look a lot smaller than both of those phones, which is a plus).
Other than that, it looks wonderful.
Something I absolutely loved is that the camera island, while absolutely massive, has curved edges. This means that it isn't sharp and it melts into the frame, further lending to the comfort of the build. Contrast this to the unsatisfyingly sharp camera bumps on the S23 Ultra and 14 Pro Max. The curved screen also doesn't seem to have the glare/blur at the edges that most curved screens have when viewing straight on, which was pleasant.
Overall, kudos to the design team - this phone has a set a new benchmark for me in terms of in-hand feel! Now it's just the price that needs to be lower heheh!

Xiaomi 13 Pro brightness in gsmarena's test is 1253 while Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has achieved 1274 so brightness is on same level.
Both of them are so far from Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1760.

Samsung fan, 27 Mar 2023Xiaomi is really doing great nowdays. Ia can't wait to... moreIt has a 120hz display, same as samsung. It has an LTPO display, same sa samsung. It actually has a brigther display at 1900nits max vs the 1750nits that the S23 Ultra has.
Unlike samsung, it has a super fast charger and a case bundled in, also a screen protector and a 3.5mm dongle.
Yeah, bummer it's still stuck with USB Type C 2.0 but then again so is apple, also the Selfie camera has to be better, it's not bad at the moment but it's not exactly good. Good thing xiaomi thought of it and made the back glossy as sh*t with a mirror like finish so you can use the rear camea for portraits! (joking of course)

Honest Comment, 27 Mar 2023I've made a comparison between both S23 Ultra and 13 P... moreWell, I will have to agree about the Ultrawide, it's not really the best but it's not bad by any means. Also, the Telephoto does have OIS and the floating point lens optics which also serve as another level of stabilisation.
Yes, the battery is meh, I will say that again. But, in my experience, no phone ever lasted me a day. Never.
I am buying a phone for personal use and I don't have the money or the will to buy another device just to compare them, so with my past experiences I would say that the S23 Ultra also wouldn't give me a day of usage.
Going back to the topic of cameras.
It all comes down to the person.
Some may like the S23 Ultra, some may like the iPhone 14 Pro max and some may like the 13 Pro when it comes to photography.
I myself prefer the 13 Pro and again from my experience I can say it comes close to my DSLR. I am not a professinal photographer, neither am I claiming to be one, I'm an intermediate photographer or for some, a Very good rookie.
The zoom itself I don't really use, mostly for 3.2X when taking close ups, protraits, anything that requires a bit of zoom but I will probably not use anything past 5-8X since after 10X it turns into watercolors, and everything past 50X is basically unusable, just adds a "wow I have 70x zoom" effect, nothing more.

I don't know how but my phone's battey isn't the best, I am a power user though and really none of my phones have that good of a battery life.
My 11T Pro got like 12 hours a day with 6 hours of SOT
My S20 Ultra got like 8-10 hours a day with about 4 hours of SOT

In Italy the price is going down very fast. I found it for 900€ already but still very few people have this phone. It's a good phone but it's way too overpriced in Europe.
