It sure is now if only they can fix those issues I mentioned with wind noise, add 8k30 and give the front camera 4k30 at least it will be almost perfect! With updates it could even be #1 it has the potentional.
Thanks for in-depth review! As a fellow Xiaomi 13U owner I have some things that I wanted to add and some I disagree with, not saying you are wrong, just my subjective opinion is different: 1. Going from Xiaomi 11U, this phone actually feels "light". 2. Fingerprint scanner causes issues for me with my thumb. To be fair I have calluses on it. Other fingers are OK, but I don't use them that much to notice if there are issues as well. 3. A bit more about colour profiles - the default "Original colour PRO" is the "best" setting for reference colours. I have compared it against iPad Pro (M1) and this mode seems to be the most consistent with what iPad shows. Compared to 11U, the default presets are a bit less saturated and tend to run more on reddish hue, while 11U appears slightly more green. 4. The thing about brightness is that perception of it is not linear, so having 2000 -> 2600 nit difference is not the same as 1000 -> 1600. So yeah, I agree that it is nothing exceptional (for 2023 flagship). Important thing is that it is legible under sunlight if you pick auto brightness. 5. One thing that I have not heard or seen anyone mention is that you do not have palm rejection zone at the right side in landscape mode (side with USB) , so if you try to shoot one-handed in landscape, sometimes part of your palm touches the screen and makes it unresponsive. Could be skill issue, but again that is how I usually take pictures, so I have to adapt the grip a bit from 11U. 6. This is a stupid one on Xiaomi side - the street photography (fast shot) mode cannot be triggered if you listen to music, because you have to double tap "volume down". You can select it in the app, but the whole point/gimmick is that you get the shot immediately when you pull the phone out. I wish they have added a shutter button. 7. There is a setting to reduce wind noise under Camera -> Audio Settings -> Smart noise reduction. It kind of sucks though anyway. 8. Band 20 (wide area 4G, basically) being absent is an issue if you live in more rural area. Personally I had no issues with speed and connectivity, but I live in a city. So yeah, major thing to consider if you want to import. 9. Also pretty much no-one talks about how good their Gallery app is. The editor is REALLY powerful. Much more so than free version of VSCO, for example. And easier to use than something like Lightroom or Snapseed. 10. One more thing about heating under load. It is mainly on upper side (where the cameras are), so if you play portrait oriented games (like Umamusume, lol) it will be much more bearable than landscape ones (Genshin/Honkai)
Regarding point 4, I actually believe the main error was not that, but rather that peak brightness refers to when only a tiny portion of pixels are activated, for example when watching a movie in HDR mode.
Having the mi10 ultra for the past 3 years which has and still is a great phone I was considering buying the 13 ultra however decided on the Honor magic 5 pro and wow!! what a fantastic device it is and with the early bird discount along with the free gift gs3 smart watch and ear buds it has to be the best bangs for bucks at the moment.... Great review Chris 👌
i just returned the magic5pro today. and i’m quite sad, as it is my personal phone of the year so far, and it is a 5450mAh battery!!!! However it does not support GMS like i thought it would and that unfortunately is a dealbreaker for me😢
The 5g struggles surprised me. My last phone was the 10 ultra and I now have the 13 ultra(both Chinese roms) and I've had little issues finding 5G reception. In fact I've found the 13 actually finds more 5G then the 10.
I'm a new subscriber here and I gotta say, THANK YOU for pointing out the misleading aperture feature. I think it should be called DUAL aperture instead of "variable" since it only has two apertures unlike the one from Huawei like you said. also, it should say "F1.8 AND F4.0" instead "F1.8 TO F4.0" to make it clear that it can only go to 2 apertures and not in between aperture settings. you're the only TH-camr who reviewed this phone that actually called that out and I actually thought it has multiple different apertures. THANK YOU
Exactly I also thought it did, the press images were also misleading. It's dual aperture not variable. Next up I have a proper variable aperture phone coming the P60 Pro.
Regarding software, I'm so glad that MIUI is smoother than ever, but it's really unfortunate that the Global versions of their software don't receive the same treatment with optimization. Great video!
The 13 Ultra is undoubtedly a great offering from Xiaomi. But for the price they are asking, you simply expect more. At least match certain aspects , the competition are offering on their top tier flagships! Appreciate the comprehensive and candid review as always Chris! ✌👍
Thanks for another comprehensive review. Another bit of false advertising is the first telephoto is 2.6x and not 3.2x. It switches to the telephoto from the main camera at 2.6x and then uses a crop at 3.2x
I heard that Xiaomi's 120W charging is only compatible with USB 2.0. And since the Xiaomi 13 Ultra has a USB 3.2 gen 1 port, then it is currently not possible for Xiaomi to use 120W charging with the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
@@youngskooter3204 sea water fucks everything up, it's really hard to make things sea proof, no flagship grade phone can handle it as far as I'm aware.
@@Techtablets That sound BS tho. Where did he hear this? 90W max is most like a battery limit here: faster charging usually involves splitting the batteries in two, so they can charge them 60W but parralell (60W*2=120W). Split batteries need more space, so they're usually smaller. All in all, the best guess is they decided that they wanted bigger battery over faster charging.
As I've understood the 3G limitation is due the fact the chinese version does not have the B20(800mHz) band, which is used in Europe for 4G data signal. Excellent work with these reviews, Chris, you are doing a fantastic job as always! (L.E. - ah..you already mentioned this in the review :) )
Thanks for this good review Chris 👌 For the lenses switching while filming for what i saw it can up to 15X using all lenses including 5X periscope if i'm not wrong...
hy bro, can i ask how you are on the audio side? I mean with the speakers? are they pretty powerful? is the quality good? for the phone calls I heard from the review that they are not bad but there is no system to filter the wind can you confirm it?
@@Techtablets I'm sorry, I'm following you from Italy and many English words escape me or I can't translate well....anyway I would say that on the audio and phone calls side we are at high levels
@@Techtabletsthere is noise reduction for the video to reduce wind noise. Just tap the top right hexagon icon and you will go to the Camera setting - Audio setting to toggle noise reduction off & on. There is even a playback sample for you to hear the cut off wind noise.
So far the Find X6 Pro, X90 Pro Plus and Pixel 7 Pro. Also the S23 Ultra for zoom. And worth a mention the Honor Magic5 Pro ultrawide and main camera also very good for the price.
Great video as always, but please note that peak brightness values quoted by companies are at very low APL levels and that’s the reason why on a full field measurement you are only seeing 1300nits.
Okay Ijust epxected to see it hit much higher in direct sunlight and laying HDR video etc. Never seemed to push more brightness. Manual and auto brightness tested.
You can find the wind reduction setting by opening the camera app and then tap on the "Settings" option that is inside the camera app, and then scroll down the list of options and then tap on the "audio settings" option, and then turn on the "smart noise reduction" setting.
Got mine from TradingShenzhen 3 days ago and I love it!! 4K: For overcoming stock 1080p selfi camera you can use open camera or (even better) mcpro24fps to get 4K selfi video and MUCH better exposure ballence. But 4K selfi is capped at 30fps. But there is night and day difference between 1080p vs 4K selfi video... Note the absence of band 20 4G in EU which means no 4G coverage in the mountains and near boarders...5G works perfectly. I see no difference in data coverage compared to any other phone to be honest. Google pay works and also all other Google services besides Android auto Also note that you will not be able to connect Samsung Galaxy watch 5 or 5 pro to this phone...Xiaomi watches work perfectly and NFC payment is possible via Xiaomi pay (I use it with curve and my Revolut credit card which is linked to my debit VISA).
Thanks for your input, I will have to buy mcpro24fps I think and test it out. Does it offer wind filtering and 8k30 option? band 20 is the big killer for me where I live in mountains I can't seem to get on 5G and then 3G which as mentioned is painfully slow! Yes NFC works and GPay (forgot to mention it).
@@Techtablets open camera is a good and free alternative to cmpro24fps. In open camera you can choose the 4K/60fps option, but make bo mistake, it still records only at 30fps. I think there is no alternative app which would allow 4K/60fps for the front camera. No, unfortunately 8k is not available in mcpro with Mi 13 Ultra and for the wind noise reduction there is also no option in the menu... I use it only for front camera 4k as it gives me very good control over exposure and ISO and the quality goes up to 500mbps (video is stable up to 300...) and h.265 10bit...:) But for orientation 10sec selfi video on max quality with 300mbps results in approx. 300mb file...but switching over to e.g. 90mbps the file size drastically resuces ...anyhow, it is a night and day difference to the stock app as far as the front camera goes... One possible solution for missing band 20 - use a portable 4G wifi router with alternative sim and connect the Mi 13 ultra to that when needed.
Can you shoot 60p 4k log video with mcpro24fps? If so is it sharp? I 've watched a few 60p videos and they look really soft because xiaomi uses the same bitrate as with 30p recording. Not sure if this happens with log recording though.
@@someonereason you can shoot 30fps 4k video up to 500mbps, 10 bit h.265 (HEVC) or 8 bit h.264 (AVC) with the front camera...nothing soft about it, the video is really sharp and overexposure issues that Xiaomi has with the stock front cam are more or less eliminated
How would you compare the cameras to the Xiaomi 13 Pro? Especially the main camera, since it's the main sensor. A comparison video between the non-Pro, Pro and Ultra would be awesome!
@@Techtablets Thanks! I was thinking of the Ultra, but after you said in the video, that the screen is not better and now that the camera upgrade is not worth it I will no longer consider it. I still can't decide between the non-Pro and Pro, since I would like a smaller phone, but the better camera and faster charging might be worth it.
Peak brightness is only in a local part of the screen, not the whole screen... The 1080p selfie cam and overexposure is for chinese taste (beauty effects). Although i do prefer a well exposed face in selfie videos, even if that means a white background. I suspect the global rom is less prone to overexposure
*For Honkai: Star Rail, benchmark here:* The Xianzhou Luofu > Exalting Sanctum > Synwood Pavilion (warp point at the top) This game is extremely hard on GPU in their latest map and should become the new gaming benchmark for the next generations of flagships.
Well, it's really funny that the Xiaomi F2 PRO, that I own, has 8k either 30 or 24 FPS and I can even zoom it when recording but can't go to ultrawide. Other than that, it has flat screen, still great SD865 and 3.5 mm jack, yeeeeah! My version is 256GB, 8GB RAM, it flies and what can I ask more? Probably better cameras, but anyway it does the job just good enough. I don't know what Xiaomi is doing with new models but I know Chris that you're doing great job, just keep on! 💪🏻👍🏻 You are here one of the rare reviewers worth to watch!
Personally, selfie 4k is quite overrated, definitely good to have, but not that useful for many. Majority use it for video call purposes which barely even hit 720p quality.
True, I always think the YT community gets hung up on this more than the average core flagship user. Most people I share front camera video with have limited capacity, so 4K/60FPS would devour their storage and is a band hog (why video calls are usually 720p).
Absolutely. It's like a tiny bubble demanding something for everyone. Bloggers are what? way below 1% of the users? I rather they spend that money on other things instead of a front camera that the absolute majority uses just for calls, if at all. I personally could not care less about a 4k front camera and I would never ever really use it. There are plenty of options with that feature if one desires it. It's definitely important to mention, for the people that do need or want it but it's just a minor point to most.
I was so annoyed with Xiaomi's MiUI that got rid of my Mi 11 Ultra after 3 months of use. I though I would never go back to a Xiaomi until I gave it another go with the 13. MiUI 14 is definitely a lot more polished than before and the Chinese ROM feels significantly less intrusive interms of bloatware and other features. With that said you still need to set you default web browser as something else as the OEM blocks a lot of websites to 'adhere to the government's internet policies'
24fps is terrible for video on most devices, most screens refresh at 60hz or other multiples of 30hz. 24fps means you get 1-2 frames being held twice as long every second on a regular 60hz screen. Making it look terribly stuttery. Movie and TV can do it because TV's will switch their refresh rate to match the content (not to be confused with variable refresh rate, this isn't seamless)
If it was for me, I would take the Samsung K Zoom camera system with a single 20MP sensor and variable physical aperture, updated to the 2023 phone design and specs. I would trade a little bit of thickness on the camera module, to have a perfect single camera with a 18-200mm lens. I wish some brand had the guts to build a similar phone. Now, even if you have 3x50MP lenses, you don't have a seamless transition when you record a video, because each sensor is different in size and specs.
That would be great I remember that Samsung i had with the zoom lens back in the 2000s it had it's issues but the concept was good. I believe soon some company will do something similar again over the next few years.
Very honest review as usual. Thank you for your honesty. Your deal breakers are not important for me as many of them are linked to the Chinese version. Front facing camera, you are definitely right, but i never use it so not major for me. Performance and battery life are there, cameras too so all good. S23U is way too big for me so i returned it, X90 pro plus no warranty in Europe so eliminated. This is the best option for me to replace my 13 ultra. And with the coming updates it will be just perfect for my use.
I went with oppo find X6 Pro and i am glad i did. That missing band 20 was deal breaker for me too( i live in EU). And both have similar camera performance, maybe oppo is better in some categories. shame that Oppo didnt go to global market, it can shake market little bit. In my country there is only 3 brands that dominated market Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, not lot of options and competion is allways good. Xiaomi top tier phones in my country are extremely overpriced, sometimes even pricier than Apple,Samsung. 350€ more than china versions from trading shenzhen
I have the Find X6 Pro and yes I think it's camera is better overall I was so puzzled by the move not to release it globally. Yes Xiaomi is very overpriced here in Europe, 1400 euros for the Xiaomi 13 Pro is just madness. if this is global I can see it costing 1500 euros.
The missing band is a great observation!! Also the reply about Find X6 Pro and its cameras being better. I might consider it after buying several Xiaomi phones and being happy.
@@sghosh7049 my recent Xiaomi 12S Ultra don't even have all 5G bands in my country. So it is not unusual that when i go hiking i got only 2G and sometimes even no signal. it also drain more battery because phone allways try to find closest antena
Once the legal issues in Germany get through the courts, then OPPO may release in the EU. However, Nokia used harsh tactics; banning OPPO over a patent license fee disagreement means they cannot risk it now. A higher court may have come to its senses and realised that Nokia's attack was almost blackmail and have stopped the ban until court resolution. These tactics of using a hammer to break an egg are bad for consumers.
Not a fan of the panning judder or the quality of the front camera...and the wind noise, personally I wouldnt be interested due to these but your video is great none the less. Nice to see the scenery around Denia.
Very useful analysis with some good insights into the pros and cons that I have not seen from other tech reviewers. Now subscribed to your channel, thank you.
In camera settings there is an audio settings, where you can activate 3d sound (best for ordinary usage) and also you can activate there smart noise reduction - for scene where strong wind is or something like that.
Too many comments already so I am not sure if you will be able too read this, but I have always wondered if your accent is Australian? Great honest review as always!
You put a lot of effort into the videos. It gives me an idea of what will encounter if I actually buy a product. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra looks good to me. Still 1080p front camera is bad but I don't take selfie photos and videos. I wonder what the price will be when it goes on sale in Europe. By the way, I wonder how much it cost you in total with Trading Shenzhen. Thanks for the review Chris.
I am on the wait list for the P60Pro. I like HarmonyOS but only rely on Google less than some; I use an iPhone as a second phone, proving there is life outside Google. My Chinese Mate 20X is on Harmony 2.0 and is smooth, with excellent battery life and few sacrifices. I want to support another player. I will wait for the global Xiaomi 13 Ultra for judgement on this phone.
Buenas tardes, que te parecería una comparativa entre el Xiaomi 13 ultra y el Honor magic 5 pro ? Crees que el Honor quedaría por detrás a nivel fotográfico ? Muchas gracias !!!!!!
Hi Chrish, so what do you prefer between s23 ultra vs xiaomi 13 ultra in terms of screen, performance and camera? It would really help me to purchase my new phone.
you should be able to switch through the lenses with 4k30 🤔 try it again please. someone told meh that and on my 12s ultra i can do it too. Thx for the test :)
hello Chris, when you import a phone from tradingshenzhen like this one do have to pay extra money other than the price of it like customs duty for example ?
To Spain I didn't have to pay any extra at all. Took about 11 days from when it shipped so it's slow but if it was DHL or Fedex I would have 21% more to pay and fees on top.
Few things that seemed to have changed since this video: There is now "Smart noise reduction" for wind, I've not tested it but the example demo says it works so... it's in the camera settings, scroll a lil to video and there's audio settings 4K 30fps lets you swap between all lenses in video, 60 and 8k 24 still doesn't allow it though, unsure if this changed or was just a hidden away thing Weird things about it: The 3.2 telephoto seems to actually be 2.6 (59.8/60mm not the listed 75mm) so goodjob Xiaomi for lying about that If you change volume buttons to be zoom instead of shutter it only applies to photo not video?? Surely it would make sense to have smoother video zooming, hopefully gets updated The whole "Auto adjust lens" system is just odd, would recommend turning it off unless you want it to randomly swap to the main when you're doing 5x The double tap (either volume or power) can be used to instantly take photos to the point you won't be noticed, I hate shutter sounds but that version should have a shutter sound Western websites list the battery as 5000Mah but Wondamobile says 4900 whilst in this video the battery application used said 4880 A lot of Western apps have updates on "GetApps" (Chinese) but not on the Playstore which seems odd, idk if it is though Other SMS apps seem to not function properly (specifically Messages (By Google), suddenly my carrier is charging me for doing things I always do Edit: added more to weird things
The stabilization in video looks pretty decent compared to other CHinese flagships. Doesn't seem to have that 'judder' that previous Xiaomi flagships used to have. I'm impressed.
Thanks for the video Chris. You have been looking @ Chinese phones for a long time now, which I appreciate. I'm from the UK so we do get the global releases from time to time. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
Hi Chris, do we get the full review of the Oppo Find x6 Pro in the near future? Do you have some insider news for a global release or a rebranding lile Onplus 11 Ultra? Thank for your time!
Can u plz tell me about xiaomi 13 ultra phone overheating issue while recording videography and photography. How long can you make videos continuously without overheating? 13:2113:22
Why does it have 2 telephoto lenses? One has 3.2x and one has 5x optical zoom. I mean, you can just use the 5x zoom lens to do a 3.2x zoom, right? Could someone enlighten me of what I could be missing from this?
Hi Chris, great review! I have to say that you really puzzled me with this b20 band in Spain. I am currently waiting for my xiaomi 13 pro from trading shenzen and after proper research I am sure I wouldn't have any band problems here in my hometown in Poland. The problem is now Spain, which is my frequent holiday destination.. Now I'm thinking about selling it as soon as it comes 😢
bought this phone is china for 950 USD 16+512 config. For the moment i found that battery life time is not that good as my old Mate 20x. Dont play games at all, just enough from morning to evening. If you want to have 50W charged you need to use wireless "pro charger" other gives max 30 W. For 2 weeks already got 2 updates. 5G in working perfect in China
No way to change camera when shooting 4K/8K is mindblow. After delivering all that, they fail in a simple sw thing. No one does simple still comparison of pro raw vs hdr pro (14bit I think), how much a difference it makes in detail, etc. since I seen authentic mode do poorly in hdr in simple mode and there are also some worm artifacts here and there, so I wonder how it affects them. Besides that I am fan of hi res so I wonder what hdr does for hi res detail, as well as what aperture does(if it can be set). ps..I shoot a videos sometimes, but I do switch cameras, so its a big block why not to buy for me. This is right after Xiaomi made my wish true to capture hi res hdr raw on this, so I got quite a mixed feelings here...
Slightly offtopic from the video itself, I'd just like to mention a couple of things out. If there's one thing that most certainly discourages me from coming any close to galaxy phones, it's the now insufficient charging speeds, and even the 45w doesn't seem to eliminate that particular frustration. The pixels are unfortunately even more behind, except the battery life is also the opposite of phenomenal. In this case I came to realize I actually choose the Find X6 Pro as my current desired flagship phone. Importation? No matter, even if it means only navigating the phone in English. No dealbreaker there.
Okay some good news and one con off the list! Yes, there is a wind filter option a little hidden away I missed somehow... Many thanks to James twitter.com/Devinarde/status/1655244393123811330

As a fellow Xiaomi 13U owner I have some things that I wanted to add and some I disagree with, not saying you are wrong, just my subjective opinion is different:
1. Going from Xiaomi 11U, this phone actually feels "light".
2. Fingerprint scanner causes issues for me with my thumb. To be fair I have calluses on it. Other fingers are OK, but I don't use them that much to notice if there are issues as well.
3. A bit more about colour profiles - the default "Original colour PRO" is the "best" setting for reference colours. I have compared it against iPad Pro (M1) and this mode seems to be the most consistent with what iPad shows. Compared to 11U, the default presets are a bit less saturated and tend to run more on reddish hue, while 11U appears slightly more green.
4. The thing about brightness is that perception of it is not linear, so having 2000 -> 2600 nit difference is not the same as 1000 -> 1600. So yeah, I agree that it is nothing exceptional (for 2023 flagship). Important thing is that it is legible under sunlight if you pick auto brightness.
5. One thing that I have not heard or seen anyone mention is that you do not have palm rejection zone at the right side in landscape mode (side with USB) , so if you try to shoot one-handed in landscape, sometimes part of your palm touches the screen and makes it unresponsive. Could be skill issue, but again that is how I usually take pictures, so I have to adapt the grip a bit from 11U.
6. This is a stupid one on Xiaomi side - the street photography (fast shot) mode cannot be triggered if you listen to music, because you have to double tap "volume down". You can select it in the app, but the whole point/gimmick is that you get the shot immediately when you pull the phone out. I wish they have added a shutter button.
7. There is a setting to reduce wind noise under Camera -> Audio Settings -> Smart noise reduction. It kind of sucks though anyway.
8. Band 20 (wide area 4G, basically) being absent is an issue if you live in more rural area. Personally I had no issues with speed and connectivity, but I live in a city. So yeah, major thing to consider if you want to import.
9. Also pretty much no-one talks about how good their Gallery app is. The editor is REALLY powerful. Much more so than free version of VSCO, for example. And easier to use than something like Lightroom or Snapseed.
10. One more thing about heating under load. It is mainly on upper side (where the cameras are), so if you play portrait oriented games (like Umamusume, lol) it will be much more bearable than landscape ones (Genshin/Honkai)
spot on about xiaomi gallery apps, it got many features for picture / video editing
In conclusion: is it worth upgrading from 11U to 13U? I do enjoy 11U and the rearview display (as a viewfinder for selfies).
Regarding point 4, I actually believe the main error was not that, but rather that peak brightness refers to when only a tiny portion of pixels are activated, for example when watching a movie in HDR mode.
It's good to have a tech reviewer not being biased on phone brands. I hope that other tech reviewers will do the same as you do. Kudos!
Detailed and amazing review as always. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is such a great flagship, despite the minor flaws. Waiting for the global release 🌍
Having the mi10 ultra for the past 3 years which has and still is a great phone I was considering buying the 13 ultra however decided on the Honor magic 5 pro and wow!! what a fantastic device it is and with the early bird discount along with the free gift gs3 smart watch and ear buds it has to be the best bangs for bucks at the moment.... Great review Chris 👌
i just returned the magic5pro today. and i’m quite sad, as it is my personal phone of the year so far, and it is a 5450mAh battery!!!! However it does not support GMS like i thought it would and that unfortunately is a dealbreaker for me😢
The 5g struggles surprised me. My last phone was the 10 ultra and I now have the 13 ultra(both Chinese roms) and I've had little issues finding 5G reception. In fact I've found the 13 actually finds more 5G then the 10.
We appreciate your tech reviews. Keep up the good work.
And I appreciate you watching them! With out you all there is no channel.
I'm a new subscriber here and I gotta say, THANK YOU for pointing out the misleading aperture feature. I think it should be called DUAL aperture instead of "variable" since it only has two apertures unlike the one from Huawei like you said. also, it should say "F1.8 AND F4.0" instead "F1.8 TO F4.0" to make it clear that it can only go to 2 apertures and not in between aperture settings.
you're the only TH-camr who reviewed this phone that actually called that out and I actually thought it has multiple different apertures. THANK YOU
Exactly I also thought it did, the press images were also misleading. It's dual aperture not variable. Next up I have a proper variable aperture phone coming the P60 Pro.
If you are a Leica fan this is a must. As a camera it can give you the Leica look in shots which just beats the iPhone hands down.
Regarding software, I'm so glad that MIUI is smoother than ever, but it's really unfortunate that the Global versions of their software don't receive the same treatment with optimization.
Great video!
The 13 Ultra is undoubtedly a great offering from Xiaomi. But for the price they are asking, you simply expect more. At least match certain aspects , the competition are offering on their top tier flagships! Appreciate the comprehensive and candid review as always Chris! ✌👍
How are you?
Yes like expecting a 4k front camera oh well maybe next year... Thanks for watching!
Used to love these xiaomi phones but I won't use it again because of lack of software update, raise of price and lack of support.
It will get three generations of Android updates and 5 years security. That’s not bad.
Thanks for another comprehensive review. Another bit of false advertising is the first telephoto is 2.6x and not 3.2x. It switches to the telephoto from the main camera at 2.6x and then uses a crop at 3.2x
Why am I not surprised
I heard that Xiaomi's 120W charging is only compatible with USB 2.0. And since the Xiaomi 13 Ultra has a USB 3.2 gen 1 port, then it is currently not possible for Xiaomi to use 120W charging with the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
Alright that explains it! Makes sense thanks the comment.
@@Techtablets how does the "fake" leather stack up against normal home water, sea or pool water coz it's IP68
@@youngskooter3204 sea water fucks everything up, it's really hard to make things sea proof, no flagship grade phone can handle it as far as I'm aware.
@@Techtablets That sound BS tho. Where did he hear this?
90W max is most like a battery limit here: faster charging usually involves splitting the batteries in two, so they can charge them 60W but parralell (60W*2=120W). Split batteries need more space, so they're usually smaller.
All in all, the best guess is they decided that they wanted bigger battery over faster charging.
@@aflac82 totally makes sense... or to increase battery overall life maybe
after seeing bunch of xiao 13u reviews and i'll never forget to see yours. always the truth!
I hope you do spot the difference :)
As I've understood the 3G limitation is due the fact the chinese version does not have the B20(800mHz) band, which is used in Europe for 4G data signal.
Excellent work with these reviews, Chris, you are doing a fantastic job as always! (L.E. - ah..you already mentioned this in the review :) )
Thanks, yes mentioned in the review but now there is the global model to solve this issue and Android auto etc.
they didnt fix the issue on chinese model?@@Techtablets
Waiting for mine to come 😮
Can't wait to play with it, thanks for the review 😊
Great enjoy the phone. Hopefully you don't need LTE band 20.
Thanks for this good review Chris 👌 For the lenses switching while filming for what i saw it can up to 15X using all lenses including 5X periscope if i'm not wrong...
Been using it for 2 weeks. Totally loving it.
hy bro,
can i ask how you are on the audio side?
I mean with the speakers? are they pretty powerful? is the quality good?
for the phone calls I heard from the review that they are not bad but there is no system to filter the wind can you confirm it?
No wind filter with video. Calls it has noise cancelation.
Glad to hear that! A great phone that hopefully with a few updates is even better.
@@Techtablets I'm sorry, I'm following you from Italy and many English words escape me or I can't translate well....anyway I would say that on the audio and phone calls side we are at high levels
@@Techtabletsthere is noise reduction for the video to reduce wind noise. Just tap the top right hexagon icon and you will go to the Camera setting - Audio setting to toggle noise reduction off & on. There is even a playback sample for you to hear the cut off wind noise.
Which phone is the best for photos do you think or what’s your top 3?
So far the Find X6 Pro, X90 Pro Plus and Pixel 7 Pro. Also the S23 Ultra for zoom. And worth a mention the Honor Magic5 Pro ultrawide and main camera also very good for the price.
Great video as always, but please note that peak brightness values quoted by companies are at very low APL levels and that’s the reason why on a full field measurement you are only seeing 1300nits.
Okay Ijust epxected to see it hit much higher in direct sunlight and laying HDR video etc. Never seemed to push more brightness. Manual and auto brightness tested.
The front camera is just unacceptable for a high-end flagship today.
It is yes, they need to up their front camera game big time!
@@Techtablets exactly!
You can find the wind reduction setting by opening the camera app and then tap on the "Settings" option that is inside the camera app, and then scroll down the list of options and then tap on the "audio settings" option, and then turn on the "smart noise reduction" setting.
Thank you, yes it's the pinned comment with the fix. So that's one con off the list.
Got mine from TradingShenzhen 3 days ago and I love it!!
4K: For overcoming stock 1080p selfi camera you can use open camera or (even better) mcpro24fps to get 4K selfi video and MUCH better exposure ballence. But 4K selfi is capped at 30fps. But there is night and day difference between 1080p vs 4K selfi video...
Note the absence of band 20 4G in EU which means no 4G coverage in the mountains and near boarders...5G works perfectly. I see no difference in data coverage compared to any other phone to be honest.
Google pay works and also all other Google services besides Android auto
Also note that you will not be able to connect Samsung Galaxy watch 5 or 5 pro to this phone...Xiaomi watches work perfectly and NFC payment is possible via Xiaomi pay (I use it with curve and my Revolut credit card which is linked to my debit VISA).
Thanks for your input, I will have to buy mcpro24fps I think and test it out. Does it offer wind filtering and 8k30 option? band 20 is the big killer for me where I live in mountains I can't seem to get on 5G and then 3G which as mentioned is painfully slow! Yes NFC works and GPay (forgot to mention it).
@@Techtablets open camera is a good and free alternative to cmpro24fps. In open camera you can choose the 4K/60fps option, but make bo mistake, it still records only at 30fps. I think there is no alternative app which would allow 4K/60fps for the front camera.
No, unfortunately 8k is not available in mcpro with Mi 13 Ultra and for the wind noise reduction there is also no option in the menu...
I use it only for front camera 4k as it gives me very good control over exposure and ISO and the quality goes up to 500mbps (video is stable up to 300...) and h.265 10bit...:) But for orientation 10sec selfi video on max quality with 300mbps results in approx. 300mb file...but switching over to e.g. 90mbps the file size drastically resuces ...anyhow, it is a night and day difference to the stock app as far as the front camera goes...
One possible solution for missing band 20 - use a portable 4G wifi router with alternative sim and connect the Mi 13 ultra to that when needed.
Can you shoot 60p 4k log video with mcpro24fps? If so is it sharp? I 've watched a few 60p videos and they look really soft because xiaomi uses the same bitrate as with 30p recording. Not sure if this happens with log recording though.
@@someonereason you can shoot 30fps 4k video up to 500mbps, 10 bit h.265 (HEVC) or 8 bit h.264 (AVC) with the front camera...nothing soft about it, the video is really sharp and overexposure issues that Xiaomi has with the stock front cam are more or less eliminated
@@Dajlec hi, sorry I meant for the main back camera. Is it possible to shoot at 4k 60p log h265 with the app you mentioned? With high bitrate.
Can’t wait for the global release, yeah camera maybe a bit fiddly working out what works best for each occasion but once that’s sorted it’s all good.
new subs here, watching here from Riyadh, KSA
Great!
How would you compare the cameras to the Xiaomi 13 Pro? Especially the main camera, since it's the main sensor. A comparison video between the non-Pro, Pro and Ultra would be awesome!
Main sensors seem the same. All you can is a slightly better ultrawide and zoom cameras. Not much really. And not worth it.
@@Techtablets Thanks! I was thinking of the Ultra, but after you said in the video, that the screen is not better and now that the camera upgrade is not worth it I will no longer consider it. I still can't decide between the non-Pro and Pro, since I would like a smaller phone, but the better camera and faster charging might be worth it.
Peak brightness is only in a local part of the screen, not the whole screen...
The 1080p selfie cam and overexposure is for chinese taste (beauty effects). Although i do prefer a well exposed face in selfie videos, even if that means a white background. I suspect the global rom is less prone to overexposure
It will yes i'm sure the global rom will fix the front camera whiteness and overexposure.
@@Techtablets it's true... I own their global midrange series and see no overexposure... But ur right it's still 1080P
*For Honkai: Star Rail, benchmark here:*
The Xianzhou Luofu > Exalting Sanctum > Synwood Pavilion (warp point at the top)
This game is extremely hard on GPU in their latest map and should become the new gaming benchmark for the next generations of flagships.
Well, it's really funny that the Xiaomi F2 PRO, that I own, has 8k either 30 or 24 FPS and I can even zoom it when recording but can't go to ultrawide. Other than that, it has flat screen, still great SD865 and 3.5 mm jack, yeeeeah! My version is 256GB, 8GB RAM, it flies and what can I ask more? Probably better cameras, but anyway it does the job just good enough. I don't know what Xiaomi is doing with new models but I know Chris that you're doing great job, just keep on! 💪🏻👍🏻 You are here one of the rare reviewers worth to watch!
Personally, selfie 4k is quite overrated, definitely good to have, but not that useful for many. Majority use it for video call purposes which barely even hit 720p quality.
True, I always think the YT community gets hung up on this more than the average core flagship user. Most people I share front camera video with have limited capacity, so 4K/60FPS would devour their storage and is a band hog (why video calls are usually 720p).
Absolutely. It's like a tiny bubble demanding something for everyone. Bloggers are what? way below 1% of the users? I rather they spend that money on other things instead of a front camera that the absolute majority uses just for calls, if at all.
I personally could not care less about a 4k front camera and I would never ever really use it. There are plenty of options with that feature if one desires it.
It's definitely important to mention, for the people that do need or want it but it's just a minor point to most.
For pure photography perspective/ for stills ..
Huawie p60 pro or 13 ultra?
Pls advice
I prefer the P60 Pro.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra 50MP full res main camera mode is the best ever. Out of any phone.
Thank you Chris, you are my go to reviewer because of your honesty!
I was so annoyed with Xiaomi's MiUI that got rid of my Mi 11 Ultra after 3 months of use. I though I would never go back to a Xiaomi until I gave it another go with the 13.
MiUI 14 is definitely a lot more polished than before and the Chinese ROM feels significantly less intrusive interms of bloatware and other features. With that said you still need to set you default web browser as something else as the OEM blocks a lot of websites to 'adhere to the government's internet policies'
24fps is terrible for video on most devices, most screens refresh at 60hz or other multiples of 30hz. 24fps means you get 1-2 frames being held twice as long every second on a regular 60hz screen. Making it look terribly stuttery.
Movie and TV can do it because TV's will switch their refresh rate to match the content (not to be confused with variable refresh rate, this isn't seamless)
I'm just puzzled as to why they didn't include 8k30fps.
If it was for me, I would take the Samsung K Zoom camera system with a single 20MP sensor and variable physical aperture, updated to the 2023 phone design and specs. I would trade a little bit of thickness on the camera module, to have a perfect single camera with a 18-200mm lens. I wish some brand had the guts to build a similar phone. Now, even if you have 3x50MP lenses, you don't have a seamless transition when you record a video, because each sensor is different in size and specs.
That would be great I remember that Samsung i had with the zoom lens back in the 2000s it had it's issues but the concept was good. I believe soon some company will do something similar again over the next few years.
Very honest review as usual. Thank you for your honesty. Your deal breakers are not important for me as many of them are linked to the Chinese version. Front facing camera, you are definitely right, but i never use it so not major for me. Performance and battery life are there, cameras too so all good. S23U is way too big for me so i returned it, X90 pro plus no warranty in Europe so eliminated. This is the best option for me to replace my 13 ultra. And with the coming updates it will be just perfect for my use.
I went with oppo find X6 Pro and i am glad i did. That missing band 20 was deal breaker for me too( i live in EU). And both have similar camera performance, maybe oppo is better in some categories.
shame that Oppo didnt go to global market, it can shake market little bit. In my country there is only 3 brands that dominated market Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, not lot of options and competion is allways good.
Xiaomi top tier phones in my country are extremely overpriced, sometimes even pricier than Apple,Samsung. 350€ more than china versions from trading shenzhen
I have the Find X6 Pro and yes I think it's camera is better overall I was so puzzled by the move not to release it globally. Yes Xiaomi is very overpriced here in Europe, 1400 euros for the Xiaomi 13 Pro is just madness. if this is global I can see it costing 1500 euros.
The missing band is a great observation!! Also the reply about Find X6 Pro and its cameras being better. I might consider it after buying several Xiaomi phones and being happy.
@@sghosh7049 my recent Xiaomi 12S Ultra don't even have all 5G bands in my country. So it is not unusual that when i go hiking i got only 2G and sometimes even no signal. it also drain more battery because phone allways try to find closest antena
Once the legal issues in Germany get through the courts, then OPPO may release in the EU. However, Nokia used harsh tactics; banning OPPO over a patent license fee disagreement means they cannot risk it now. A higher court may have come to its senses and realised that Nokia's attack was almost blackmail and have stopped the ban until court resolution. These tactics of using a hammer to break an egg are bad for consumers.
Amazing review as always!!
Not a fan of the panning judder or the quality of the front camera...and the wind noise, personally I wouldnt be interested due to these but your video is great none the less. Nice to see the scenery around Denia.
Yes I'm just not into the video it produces I prefer my S23U or even Find X6 Pro and iPhone.
Always love to visit your honest video for my next smartphone!
Very useful analysis with some good insights into the pros and cons that I have not seen from other tech reviewers. Now subscribed to your channel, thank you.
Thanks for the sub!
In camera settings there is an audio settings, where you can activate 3d sound (best for ordinary usage) and also you can activate there smart noise reduction - for scene where strong wind is or something like that.
I got also recently the chinese version. Any problem with updates or security?
Hello Chris.. is it better to buy the 13 Pro than the ultra?
Yes. The Ultra you only gain a slightly better ultrawide and zoom cameras. That's really it.
@@Techtablets perfect. thanks for the answer Chris
There are a few reviewers I trust. I can surely trust this guy. Keeps it real. Keep up the good work 👏
Too many comments already so I am not sure if you will be able too read this, but I have always wondered if your accent is Australian? Great honest review as always!
Getting mine next month can't wait
Nice enjoy!
Incredible amount if detail, your an incredible phone reviewer
You put a lot of effort into the videos. It gives me an idea of what will encounter if I actually buy a product. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra looks good to me. Still 1080p front camera is bad but I don't take selfie photos and videos. I wonder what the price will be when it goes on sale in Europe. By the way, I wonder how much it cost you in total with Trading Shenzhen. Thanks for the review Chris.
I am on the wait list for the P60Pro. I like HarmonyOS but only rely on Google less than some; I use an iPhone as a second phone, proving there is life outside Google. My Chinese Mate 20X is on Harmony 2.0 and is smooth, with excellent battery life and few sacrifices. I want to support another player.
I will wait for the global Xiaomi 13 Ultra for judgement on this phone.
My P60 Pro review is coming. Editing it today.
Hi, thanks for your precious hard work! What was your favorite between this xiaomi 13 ultra (eu) and the honor magic 5 pro?
Is the leather back of the phone easily get chipped off or removed?
Excellent review as always.
Buenas tardes, que te parecería una comparativa entre el Xiaomi 13 ultra y el Honor magic 5 pro ? Crees que el Honor quedaría por detrás a nivel fotográfico ? Muchas gracias !!!!!!
El honor tiene mejor ultrawide y selfie creo. El resto no.
Hi Chrish, so what do you prefer between s23 ultra vs xiaomi 13 ultra in terms of screen, performance and camera? It would really help me to purchase my new phone.
S23 Ultra. Better software, better video quality and the stylus if you like that. I'm using my S23U now and the Vivo X Fold2
@@Techtablets Thanks Chrish.
Thanks for a good review. Is there a different colour science between the different camera's.
Not much, a slight difference but it's closer than some.
How. Is the cooling system within the phone like?
You're currently the best reviewer, honest, precise and on point...
May i ask what's the loudest smartphone speakers in 2023??
Of the top of my head I think the Redmagic 8 Pro was one of the loudest.
@@Techtablets thank you so much, really hope your channel grows more and more
you should be able to switch through the lenses with 4k30 🤔 try it again please. someone told meh that and on my 12s ultra i can do it too. Thx for the test :)
hello Chris, when you import a phone from tradingshenzhen like this one do have to pay extra money other than the price of it like customs duty for example ?
To Spain I didn't have to pay any extra at all. Took about 11 days from when it shipped so it's slow but if it was DHL or Fedex I would have 21% more to pay and fees on top.
不错不错，评价很客观，我正在用着小米13ultra👍🏻
Few things that seemed to have changed since this video:
There is now "Smart noise reduction" for wind, I've not tested it but the example demo says it works so... it's in the camera settings, scroll a lil to video and there's audio settings
4K 30fps lets you swap between all lenses in video, 60 and 8k 24 still doesn't allow it though, unsure if this changed or was just a hidden away thing
Weird things about it:
The 3.2 telephoto seems to actually be 2.6 (59.8/60mm not the listed 75mm) so goodjob Xiaomi for lying about that
If you change volume buttons to be zoom instead of shutter it only applies to photo not video?? Surely it would make sense to have smoother video zooming, hopefully gets updated
The whole "Auto adjust lens" system is just odd, would recommend turning it off unless you want it to randomly swap to the main when you're doing 5x
The double tap (either volume or power) can be used to instantly take photos to the point you won't be noticed, I hate shutter sounds but that version should have a shutter sound
Western websites list the battery as 5000Mah but Wondamobile says 4900 whilst in this video the battery application used said 4880
A lot of Western apps have updates on "GetApps" (Chinese) but not on the Playstore which seems odd, idk if it is though
Other SMS apps seem to not function properly (specifically Messages (By Google), suddenly my carrier is charging me for doing things I always do
Edit: added more to weird things
The stabilization in video looks pretty decent compared to other CHinese flagships. Doesn't seem to have that 'judder' that previous Xiaomi flagships used to have. I'm impressed.
they should make the screen a little bit bigger for power users
like the s23 ultra
Could you please compare Oppo and this phone, I think it would be interesting for many.
Camera comparison? Yes i might
@@Techtablets not only camera, a comprehensive comparison would be very much appreciated.
Bro,Realme gt Neo 3 or iq 9 se.which one is better camera phone, please replay......., I want buy one of that
Thanks for the video Chris. You have been looking @ Chinese phones for a long time now, which I appreciate. I'm from the UK so we do get the global releases from time to time. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
With updates, is it actually possible to fix the front camera's white balance or make the end quality better, regardless if it is lock in for 1080p?
Yes it is possible they improve it.
Should people get this one or wait for the global launch? Whats the difference (apart from the chinese versions having alot of bloat apps)?
Xiaomi 13 ultra, Samsung s23 ultra, oppo find x6 pro or vivo x90 pro plus?
Find X6 pro for the best cameras so far, S23 U for the best video including 8k30 which looks great down sampled to 4k.
@@Techtablets thank you so much
Thanks for the detailed review, and the pros and cons. I was considering trying it, but maybe I'll go with the 13t pro
Hi Chris, do we get the full review of the Oppo Find x6 Pro in the near future? Do you have some insider news for a global release or a rebranding lile Onplus 11 Ultra? Thank for your time!
Maybe but the in-depth comparison really covered all the review points.
Hi Chris, this b20 band thing has put a halt to my buying scheme since I live in France and half the antennas are b20s. That's so sad, but big thanks
Can u plz tell me about xiaomi 13 ultra phone overheating issue while recording videography and photography. How long can you make videos continuously without overheating? 13:21 13:22
10:28 Is it possible at 4K60fps?
Sorry for poor English.
Hey Chris, will you review the POCO F5 Pro? Thank you for your honest reviews like always.👍
Why does it have 2 telephoto lenses? One has 3.2x and one has 5x optical zoom. I mean, you can just use the 5x zoom lens to do a 3.2x zoom, right? Could someone enlighten me of what I could be missing from this?
Thick boy. what was that app overlay that was running ?
How do you think the speaker quality of the phone?
Very good loudspeakers.
Strange is has wide angle front selfie, but no wide angle video recording on front cam
Unsure if youre in the US but if you are, how does the phone work for you? Also, i thought the global version wasnt released yet
I'm in Spain and no LTE band 20 means I'm stuck on 3G and 5G doesn't work only in town. Yes this is the Chinese release.
Hi Chris, great review! I have to say that you really puzzled me with this b20 band in Spain. I am currently waiting for my xiaomi 13 pro from trading shenzen and after proper research I am sure I wouldn't have any band problems here in my hometown in Poland. The problem is now Spain, which is my frequent holiday destination.. Now I'm thinking about selling it as soon as it comes 😢
the internet say that the 1920Hz PWM, that is pretty good in comparative of any high Samsung phone.
Good to see it get a phone case
I did. Just don't use a case for my reviews
Honest review as always chris
Better than the honor magic 5 pro?
bought this phone is china for 950 USD 16+512 config. For the moment i found that battery life time is not that good as my old Mate 20x. Dont play games at all, just enough from morning to evening. If you want to have 50W charged you need to use wireless "pro charger" other gives max 30 W. For 2 weeks already got 2 updates. 5G in working perfect in China
No it will be hard to match that Mate 20X battery life such a good phone.
Had 2 Xiaomi phones in the past, and I won't go back to MIUI, because of all that bugs. Loving my Nothing Phone 1!
Xiaomi 13 ultra or Honor Magic Pro 5 what would you choose? Thank you
Magic 5 pro so I have 4G
@@Techtablets Thank you, i was thinking the same thing! And the cameras on the 5 pro are more than enough for the social media posts.
22:28 wait, what do you mean it's not support Android Auto ? Isn't you can download the app if there's no included by default?
Chinese model doesn't support android auto
No way to change camera when shooting 4K/8K is mindblow. After delivering all that, they fail in a simple sw thing.
No one does simple still comparison of pro raw vs hdr pro (14bit I think), how much a difference it makes in detail, etc. since I seen authentic mode do poorly in hdr in simple mode and there are also some worm artifacts here and there, so I wonder how it affects them.
Besides that I am fan of hi res so I wonder what hdr does for hi res detail, as well as what aperture does(if it can be set).
ps..I shoot a videos sometimes, but I do switch cameras, so its a big block why not to buy for me. This is right after Xiaomi made my wish true to capture hi res hdr raw on this, so I got quite a mixed feelings here...
Does Google pay and banking apps work properly on Chinese rom?
Yes and yes
@@Techtablets Thanks 👍...
Great reviews from your side man... Keep up!!!
Bummer. I was about to order this until you said there was a 6min recording limit and it didn't support Android Auto :(
Xiaomi.eu rom will fix the android auto part.
@@Techtablets Awesome. Thank you for the timely response. Was the 6 minute recording limit just for 8k or also a limit for 4k ?
12:32 the dog is bold.😼
Slightly offtopic from the video itself, I'd just like to mention a couple of things out. If there's one thing that most certainly discourages me from coming any close to galaxy phones, it's the now insufficient charging speeds, and even the 45w doesn't seem to eliminate that particular frustration. The pixels are unfortunately even more behind, except the battery life is also the opposite of phenomenal. In this case I came to realize I actually choose the Find X6 Pro as my current desired flagship phone. Importation? No matter, even if it means only navigating the phone in English. No dealbreaker there.
The Find X6 Pro is I think the best so far it's ultrawide and main camera.
