See this user's opinion about typical Xiaomi phones color reproduction found in 13T page:
EUphotoguy > I don't get how biased and incompetent review we got from GSMA - they praised that camera, which is unfortunately one of the biggest let downs on this phone! Especially comparing to critic Pixel 8 pro got in that respect! Dear readers, don't believe a letter here - as you can even see in compare tool - this 13T is only tiny improvement from older phones, and LEICA collaboration did not fixed problem with horrible colours which were plaguing cheaper Xiaomi phones with very cold colours, or magenta if you go for vibrant. Colours are hideous and let's not lie here - Leica did nothing to make things better, but you have options to choose only "vibrant worse" or "flat worse" - but neither realistic or more warm. So unless you like to take too many pictures on manual mode, fiddling with WB, you can't get it right - for me a huge huge disappointment. Even comparing with full-resolution of cheap 108mp redmi phone could not make me find any difference. Comparing to older 50 mpx Realme phones - no difference. Comparing to old P30 Pro - Huawei is winning like on a huge huge margin! So dear Xiaomi engineers - how comes that at the end 2023 you create "cheap-flagship" phone which is inferior to Chinese flagship from 2019, currently sold on second-hand market in pristine conditions for 200 eur?
To finish it - this phone is great as a "package" but disaster as a photography tool - you will be better of with many older flagships and definitely if you pay 600 eur for this comparing to 650 eur for older Pixel 7 pro, you did a bad choice.

Xiaomi phones like 13T also have a strange color reproduction if you compare it to other brands. 13T was just slightly more expensive than the 12GB version of F5 at launch, now that stock has dried up, it is a tad overpriced like the A54. 13T is the better value buy anyway unless you need Snapdragon and faster SoC then Poco F5 is cheaper, faster and better battery life.

Akame, 02 Feb 2024thats not totally true for Snapdragon, this Snapdragon 7+ G... moreTalking about Discord not being optimized for Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, I have this Poco F5 exactly, and the app runs at full 120fps as I have observed from scrolling through chats and navigating through the app. So Idk what you meant by it not being exactly optimized, but if that's the case, then I must say that the optimization is incredible because it runs all of my apps very well for the most part for something that's not well-optimized, as you have said.
Regardless, optimizing this SoC is very easy, because it is the same exact CPU architecture as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which is used in several flagship devices, but only having weaker GPU for this one.

radwind, 29 Jan 202413T it is more expensive but if within your budget, get it ... moreFrom my personal experience, Snapdragon processor is more problem free and less hiccup overall from day to day usage (despite some generation that have that infamous overheat, but Dimensity processor overheat too), much less apps compatibility problem, also better WiFi 6/4G/5G/GPS reception. For me, if not really into serious photography, then F5 is the more than enough choice that overall balance on everything. 13T if really have the budget, and for serious photography, not a bad choice. All depend on personal decision, there are no perfect smartphone, but only long term user can tell the true pros and cons. Else, not a direct same specs per comparison, so the comparison is not fair. Everything else, it is depend on faith and luck.

F5 has Snapdragon but do you really need it? and for what purpose? if you know you need it it then you would not have considered 13T or other non SD SoC phones.

JN250, 27 Jan 2024Does this phone have fm radio?No, and I've been complaining about it for ages. I hope Xiaomi bring it back in the coming F6. There's FM radio in the X4 GT though, it's a good phone but with LCD panel. Different people view LCD differently, I personally have nothing against it. The colors are actually more vivid on LCD, but if I have to choose, I would rather go for an Amoled panel.

pl2rts, 14 Jan 2024If you want a better camera then 11T Pro. But when you want... moreX6 Pro has Virtual proximity sensing, that is an auto no in my book. I don't see how it is much better than F5, seems middling or almost just like it.

Great phone! but not with MIUI or HyperOS
Running custom ROM and im happy with it, no lags, no heating, awesome battery (about 10h SoT - without gaming, 5+ with)
It feels so plastic, solved by back cover. audio from speaker is terrible. I dont care about camera.

Dont buy for game, 26 Jan 2024I bought after hearing this phone is good for gaming. But, ... moreJust so you know that for gaming not only hardware is important.
There is also your internet connection that needs to be stable so you wont have lags. Also internet connection lag can affect game sounds and some games are really sensitive for the internet connection where little lag can affect your gaming a lot.
Other things are that games need to have the phone supported for there game and optimized also.
Cause market dont have other then Redmi note 12 Turbo/Poco F5 and one Realme phone that have SD7+ Gen 2 chip then these things are more expected as less users who have this chip so they dont priortize for the support
