i am obsessed with phones that produce photos with natural colors. xiaomi 13 is really far from that, but man, i love what they did with it! I don't care about the colors anymore with this phone. its photos are so good that each one has its own personality. it saves me time from all the editing. perfect!
Watching it on my Xiaomi 13 pro! It's an amazing phone. The camera is phenomenal. Combine that with a powerful af processor and gorgeous display. As someone who plays heavy games for straight 5hrs or so, i have never faced any heating or lag issues. There are times when I was at awe at the display especially when viewing high contrast images or colours And my personal favorite, the bloody charging speed! U have no idea how convenient it is. It's one of the best features besides the camera. The build quality....is superb and looks stunning. One issue i have faced is that sometimes the notification bar gets locked and doesn't come down when slide down. I think its an issue when u apply different themes.
Yes I agree about the charging speed. It's really important. I have a Realme and an iPhone. I don't even have to worry about not charging my Realme overnight but with iPhone, I really need that 'strategic planning' 😂
i have xiaomi note 10, its old now but still delivers top performance for my daily needs, NFS, GPS, turbo charge, 108mp camera, alll there. and the battery after 5 years still holds a whole day. So happy with it
My best phone so far, I'm glad that Mark is reviewing this great phone with his own expenses, there is no much videos about this phone as others would like to wait for a review unit which is kinda frustrating, cause other ones are willing to spend for the content. Silver button is just the beginning. Please remember this comment once you reached the gold button Mark cheers!
The Xiaomi 13, 13 Pro and 13 Ultra are amazing phones. The cameras, the fast charging, snappy software, I Love MIUI, the screen. The Xiaomi 13 has, in my opinion, the perfect size, an incredible phone. About the 1030@30 fps of the front camera, is not a big deal for me. Great video, cheers from Uruguay !!!!
Congratulations on your award!! I have been using Xiaomi phones since 2014. Regarding the upgrades, I have some phones reserved that run Android 13 security May 23 (eg mi5 of 2016 with android 13 security May 23 crdroid 9.5 custom ROM). In my personal opinion MIUI is the best android skin. It would be interesting to your subscribers some of its functions such as: second space, dual apps (all apps), AOD, split screen, floating windows, dual video, video toolbox, turbo game, how you can listen TH-cam with screen off, themes, the incredible calculator, Xiaomi home etc...

@@MarksTech You're welcome, you have to see and judge for yourself... I can't be objective... it's what we say in Greece, if you don't say good things about your house it will fall on you! 😂🤣
I own not only the Xiaomi 13 but also a xiaomi tablet and xiaomi earbuds. Apart form the amount of hardware you expect form xiaomi products, it also amazes me the way their devices working together. You can switch your earbuds to tablet by dragging an icon, copy a text and paste using any of your devices around, open your phone app straight from your tablet, etc. I'd say it's not as good as how Apple devices work, but the closest thing you can get in the Android and Windows world. I'm not sure these fuctions are currently available globally, maybe it's still China exclusive, but I do hope they get these really useful things to as many users as possible worldwide.
I was having bad experience with Xiaomi earbuds. Firstly, i bought Xiaomi flipbuds pro at discount price, but when I get my earbuds, the left buds will not charge. After that I returned that earbuds and got a refund. Secondly, I got Xiaomi buds 3t pro, initially was fine, after a few days, the right side will randomly disconnected and it's hard to pair the right buds. Now I am still waiting the seller to check the buds' issue. Maybe I am just unlucky, but I think I will never try Xiaomi earbuds again
I would say that you discovered (1st use), Xiaomi at the right time (Miui 14 + 8 Gen 2), on the right range of smartphone (high-end),and especially at the time of the good photo-video collaboration with Leica. Otherwise, the last 3 years were really mixed, and at the level of the mid-range (without high-end processor) it is still a bit of a mess.
There's an English word called "progress" I see no reason why they would use 3 years ago to judge them . Almost everywhere they give them critics I'm yet to see
Idk man I'm still rocking the mi mix 3 from 2019. Beside the battery life (wich is to be aspected after 4 years of use) the phone is fine. Same quality, same performance, it still keeps up with the apps, no lag whatsoever. I'm just browsing reviews for a new phone since I think it's about time, but i'm not pressured to upgrade so I really don't know why everyone spreads those rumours about xiaomi phones. They are build to last from my experience
Just picked up the 13. My third Xiaomi. All models were Global. and never had an issue with updates. More of an issue of glitchy phones that need correction. The charging speed and small size are what sold me on this. I did run a 3d mark test and it maxed out.
Handed over the S23 Ultra to my wife and got this Xiaomi 13, which for me is a fantastic phone. The Samsung gave me headache cause I'm pwm sensitive, and Xiaomi 13 has a DC dimmer function which work perfect. Side effect, I can have the phone in my pocket while sit down and tie my shoes.

Thanks for mentioning that, my Zenfone 9 cannot handle bass and is one of main reasons I am getting rid of it, shame this does the same as it looks like an ideal replacement, the charge rate of the Xperia is just too low it's not acceptable, not sure what to go for
The performance on this phone is absolutely flawless, and I am satisfied with eveything from this phone. Only wish it had a 5000 mAh battery. Also, thank you for the video!
This video released at the perfect time for me, I'm currently hesitating between a Pixel 7 or a Xiaomi 13 and... To be honest I'm very much interested in the Xiaomi 13! Especially for 740€ which makes it extremely strong in nowadays market
Good review and accurate. I'm a Xiaomi fan here in Ireland and everything you've said is spot on. I have the 12T and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ and I will be getting the 13. Undecided as to if it will be the 13 or 13 Pro. Because your review was genuine I've subscribed so looking forward to hearing more from you. Congratulations on your UTube Award.
@jon6969. hi, as of yet haven't gotten 13 version and may pause and wait to see what Xiaomi releases as year goes on. I did however sell my 12t and S21FE and bought the S23Ultra in October 2023 which I've been hugely impressed by and highly recommend.
No doubt the 13 Pro will come down in price later in the year so just deciding if £299 is worth paying at the moment for a good camera phone. How did you find S21 (samsung) I know the S21 Ultra is supposed to be still a good camera even a few years old. But buying renewed could be a probem with battery life etc. Thanks
@jon6969. hi again, I thought s21fe was a lovely phone but was never my main phone. But when I used it I was very satisfied but it couldn't compare in battery life with Xiaomi in either use or recharge time. But S21fe impressed me enough to try the S23 which was also excellent but just for me a little small however that gave me along with reading reviews enough impetus to purchase S23Ultra. The price your saying the Xiaomi is at is definitely worth taking a run at but with rumours of Xiaomi upcoming advancements (AI, Camera etc) I'm going to wait before next Xiaomi purchase. Just a note also to mention I have Redmi Note 12 Pro+ which is excellent so I'm waiting to see its upgrade(RedmiNote13Pro+) so while it won't be a main Flagship it's a brilliant Mid Range with Flagship features. Hope this helps.
Gotta ask, looking at the fingerprint sensor section, do you have to press the power button before using the sensor or can you simply touch the sensor area with the screen off to unlock?
I have an 11T Pro, my first Xiaomi.. I have to say how impressed I am and looking to get the the 13 Pro.... I was looking at the Samsung S23+ but I love Mui I have to say...
I appreciate your reviews. Now on this phone it's interesting you show us alternative unbiased reviews about products from great competition out there. I use an iphone 12pro max but I'm looking over brands like Xiamoi and what they're doing but they need to address the front facing camera, software updates etc
My hubby wants to upgrade my Poco F1 to this one, specifically for the Esim because I travel a lot. And based on your review and the comments, we're getting the white one for me. Thanks everyone for your input and Mark for the great review! Congrats on your milestone - you deserve it 🥳
@@necko_ba yes I did. I love it. The smoothness of the phone, the snappiness, the sleek look, it's very light, it's the perfect size for me, the camera is great except for the selfie camera (but that's most phones), battery life is not too bad, and it has esim. I've had it for 6 months now and I don't have any complaints. Maybe the camera could be a bit better but that's really a personal preference. All in all, I highly recommend it! It's definitely better than our old Poco phone. Oh, it doesn't have FM radio, which I do need sometimes but I kept my Poco phone for that reason. That's the main downfall for me but if you don't need it, then great. I hope this helps you decide!
I wanted this phone but gonna wait for the 14 to see if they improve certain things in the software. Really wanted it, hopefully they keep the same design
That depends more of the provider you use, not the phone antennas. Since I use dual sim daily with different providers I can assure you that not the hardware it's the problem with phone signal
@@xNanoByte I don't know but based on my experience I do not think so. Recently I was hiking in the mountaint with two of my mates. We all have the same provider, two of us have galaxy s21, and the third - Oneplus 7 Pro. He constantly had all the bars whereas both s21 had none or were really struggling. Hence my question, because you are comparing chinese phone to a Samsung galaxy.
Can it be opened when stolen because my Xiaomi note 10pro was stolen and the find my device is on in the settings. So I don't really know if it can be opened if stolen and I activated it on lost mode when it was stolen. So I just wanna know if it will be opened by whoever stole it or useful for the theif. Need your respond?
0:51 i cannot deny that, those people who saying miui is bad because they use others UI , not familiar with Miui , for existing xiaomi users can feel the latest version really good , most of us didn't expected they would improve that much. What a great development from them ❤
I have xiaomi 13. I got problems : 1. When posting video on WhatsApp status, quality is horrible 2. WhatsApp video call camera quality is horrible 3. When take video outside daylight, the video is crazy bright, and the video is not smooth, sometimes feels like stopping. 4. When listening something on TH-cam background and checking on Instagram, the video sound stops on TH-cam often. Does anyone have same problems?
Fantastic video and I totally agree! I´ve tried them all but Xiaomi definitely have some things that the other flagships cant compete with. Great work and spot on mate!
"... that thing blew my absolute mind. That's not even a phrase i just made that up, my absolut mind, what does that even mean?! I dont know, Subscribe!... " 😂😂😂 Nice review bro, subscribed
I bought it because it checked alot of the boxed that i wanted. Flat screen, flat sides, fast charging, new soc, pocket friendly, nice camera system, under $800.... But it doesn't support all of T-Mobiles bands. It does support 2/3 to 3/4 of them but not all of them. I live in heavy wooden areas where i rely on those bands, so i went with OnePlus 11. Still a super solid phone.
With photos it's an interesting thing to me. Because photos are art. And art isn't to be looked at objectively but subjectively. So if it takes subjectively better photos they ARE the better photos. Just saying...
I bought two times mi4 a lont times go, I have been using oneplus and pixel for yo many years, tight now I am felling tempting to try the xiaomi again.
Does anyone here have experience with the oneplus 11? If so, what do you say about the comparison with the oneplus 11. Do you think the battery in the oneplus 11 is that much better when you put the same resolution in there as in the xiaomi 13?
I'm using mi 11 lite it's not the best phone with best cameras or best display or best system but I really love how fast they charge 😂 I get up, have shower, do some skin care, get dress and my phone is fully charged 😂
Bro in which website mi 13 is available in usa .i searched on amazon and walmart mi 13 is not there .my brother is staying in minneapolis plz suggest me how to buy this phone online or offline Plz reply bro. i am from BHARAT india
Please if you could try Nubia / Asus / ZTE etc But most of the time I'm interested in knowing if Cube ACR works on phones or if it has native call recording etc I have to check indian or Indonesian reviews for that but I travel and live mostly in UK and U.S.
Yes!:) I have T-Mobile and it works PERFECTLY. but funny enough, today I switched to AT&T cause of a huge promotion and … it no longer works 🫠 T-Mobile is a champ
If your in the USA, then the answer is yes... But No. That's because xiomie does not produce devices for USA. However, if you were to buy their global version, it would work (85% of the time). Hope this helps
You never mentioned the screen. Screen have bad calibration, brightness is week and yellow color is like, 50% of the spectrum of other colors. I have 12T and compering it to 13 is so bad. I have to put xiaomi 13 screen satturation to max out in advanced options to get what 12t have out of the box. I dont get it. And no mater what I do, I cant bring yellow colors up witch tells me there is somethging wrrong with the screens that Xiaomi is using for 13 models. And with the camera, Leica filters are cool but not be able to turn them off even if Im using PRO mod is insane to me.
I got this phone but ended up selling it to get the S23. Hardware wise this a better phone, especially the camera produces much more pleasing pictures, Samsungs pictures look too bright and the colors look off. But MIUI just lacked a lot of the customization options that OneUi offers that ultimately are more important to me.
I wanna change my xiaomi 13 to S23 also. I don't like cameras, especially vid calls on WhatsApp. And when post something to on whatsapp status video quality is horrible
I think it is not screen protector, it is probably a film that prevents scratches during transportation. I usually replace it with a real glass one in order to protect the screen from cracking while falling. But if it is the real one, kudos to Xiaomi
Xiaomi 13 series Android 14 Stable update is released for lucky users. Mobile technology giant Xiaomi has started releasing the long-awaited Android 14 based MIUI update for its flagship models, Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro. This update is designed to bring advanced optimizations and new features of Android 14 to users.
Was contemplating between this or S23, got this 12/256gb for 700$ instead, Samsung costed around 850$ and that's just for the base 8/128gb model and with NO CHARGER INCLUDED IN THE BOX. After getting used to 67w fast charging on my old Xiaomi 11T,i can't imagine how i would be with S23 "fast" charging if i were to own it. Also, i think 13's camera is superior than S23 (except for the selfie video of course LOL)
@@tahsyns.1506 honestly not that much apart from camera, which was the main reason why i upgraded. 13 has been super snappy, like super fast, it's so buttery smooth, navigation through apps and UI is such a joy. Although this might be my recency bias talking. That's not to say that 11T felt slower though, in fact it rarely showed any signs of sluggishness, if at all. I think you are perfectly fine with 11T if you don't care about camera. If you can hold another year, 14 might be one worth going for, rumours going around that Xiaomi will finally add 4K for front video so there's that.
@@tahsyns.1506 don't take my opinion heavily, this is my first flagship experience after all. Never would i imagine spending this much money on a Xiaomi LOL, but here I am (Though in my country most premium flagship cost way more than 13, and I'd rather not go cheap and get the budget flagship brand like Poco or Realme). Suffice to say that it's definitely a great device.
There's something strangely onpoint with all the Chinese fingerprint readers. They just work. I've had the Samsung S21, 22, and both had issues with reading my fingerprint on the first try. I had to be deliberate with the push. On my Xiaomi, and before that, Huawei, I often unlocked the phone accidentally with just a light brush.
Long Time xiaomi user here my last phone was the Mi9 and was fantastic phone just bought not long ago the Mi13 and wow really love the phone for the price and what you get really good bang for your bucks. I had nothing but good experience with xiaomi certainly where i am in Canada we only have Apple, Samsung, Pixel and other very cheap phones and to be able to have xiaomi is a blessing not huge fans of the other brands for what you pay for is nothing compare to the xiaomi. Apple and Samsumg still uses slow chargers pretty much same phone for apple i don't like their IOS nothing like android. Overall the Mi13 is a 8.7 for me like you said no phone is perfect but for me it is.
@@alexisbeaulne9692 yes i did i never had any issues with xiaomi phones on any network. yeah some places very rare i get a weaker signal but all good. i really love it. Even my Mi 9 never had any issues
people who rely on the newest updates and say that it's the reason they buy an iPhone. You're getting half baked software, and prefering that over a well made, well rounded software
0:51 Probably those whose thinking Miui as it's still built in 2012 of course it has its downsides but not today... They're just straight up hating by reading at comments who again, probably hasn't experience MIUI.
i live in europe and as you can guess mark the iphone and samsung are very expensive , i can afford it but for me buying a phone that comes with no charger and no case makes no sense . So im a xiaomi´s customer for about 7 years i admit the updates are not constantly (about 2 3 months each update) and the miui experience is not perfect personaly i didnt encounter too many bugs but i feel like its a very minimalist OS wich delivers the essencial that is needed for the day to day and most of the people don´t like the OS cause usually they buy the low ,medium or low end device and the real best xiaomi expecience is in the high end. i recently bought the xiaomi smartwatch S1 pro and the redmi buds pro 4 i gotta say it´s been a smooth experience not alot to complain. No smartphone company comes close when the subject is fast charging , i charge my phone 0 to 100 in 19 minutes , the battery delivers a 9 to 10 hours with constant using but since im not always on my phone i end the day with 20 to 30% and again put it on the charge 15 minutes booom its done. i dont gaming alot casually i play a game for 30 minutes and delivers top perfomance. for me spending 1000+ euros on the iphone makes no sense and sometimes when i talk to people and ask them why they bought an iphone when dont even use the ecosystem , cameras or for work makes my mind blow, its all about the status for most people that buy iphones in my country , best regards
hi, wanted to asked something to a xiaomi 13 buyer, how much screen time do you get (are 9-10 hours your screen time?) and what about the temps in general use? Temp, as the video said, is very important for the battery... I have a OP 5T from over 5 years and had great battery for a long time because of low temps reached (39° peak when charged today and when stressed). I want to change my old phone with a xiaomi 13 (or 13t maybe?), zenfone 10 (but i think it has a too little screen for my taste unfortunately) or the iqoo 11s (but it's only shipped from china and it's very big!).
@@MrGius46 to be honest with you i have the k50 series from Xiaomi and my screen time is about 5 7 hours its not the best but since i can always rely on the fast charging but i know for a fact that the 13 series screen on time its alot beter they use the latest snapdragon chip

Good review and accurate. I'm a Xiaomi fan here in Ireland and everything you've said is spot on. I have the 12T and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ and I will be getting the 13. Undecided as to if it will be the 13 or 13 Pro. Because your review was genuine I've subscribed so looking forward to hearing more from you. Congratulations on your UTube Award.
Hi Tom. Have you or are you getting the 13 version - Think the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro gets released 1st Feb in the UK.
@jon6969. hi, as of yet haven't gotten 13 version and may pause and wait to see what Xiaomi releases as year goes on. I did however sell my 12t and S21FE and bought the S23Ultra in October 2023 which I've been hugely impressed by and highly recommend.
No doubt the 13 Pro will come down in price later in the year so just deciding if £299 is worth paying at the moment for a good camera phone. How did you find S21 (samsung) I know the S21 Ultra is supposed to be still a good camera even a few years old. But buying renewed could be a probem with battery life etc. Thanks
@jon6969. hi again, I thought s21fe was a lovely phone but was never my main phone. But when I used it I was very satisfied but it couldn't compare in battery life with Xiaomi in either use or recharge time. But S21fe impressed me enough to try the S23 which was also excellent but just for me a little small however that gave me along with reading reviews enough impetus to purchase S23Ultra.
The price your saying the Xiaomi is at is definitely worth taking a run at but with rumours of Xiaomi upcoming advancements (AI, Camera etc) I'm going to wait before next Xiaomi purchase. Just a note also to mention I have Redmi Note 12 Pro+ which is excellent so I'm waiting to see its upgrade(RedmiNote13Pro+) so while it won't be a main Flagship it's a brilliant Mid Range with Flagship features. Hope this helps.
How do you edit the Xiaomi photos? Does the phone have Leica filters?
Gotta ask, looking at the fingerprint sensor section, do you have to press the power button before using the sensor or can you simply touch the sensor area with the screen off to unlock?
I have an 11T Pro, my first Xiaomi.. I have to say how impressed I am and looking to get the the 13 Pro.... I was looking at the Samsung S23+ but I love Mui I have to say...
Is the selfie camera anygood ? Video?
I appreciate your reviews. Now on this phone it's interesting you show us alternative unbiased reviews about products from great competition out there. I use an iphone 12pro max but I'm looking over brands like Xiamoi and what they're doing but they need to address the front facing camera, software updates etc
Is it cringy to say first in 2023? Glad you're reviewing a xiaomi phone😊 and congrats on the play button man❤️
I saw it in a store and i was very impressed with its build and screen....even the 13 lite is amazing
Xiaomi is a good phone for long term uses I personally have used note 5 pro for 4 years
My hubby wants to upgrade my Poco F1 to this one, specifically for the Esim because I travel a lot. And based on your review and the comments, we're getting the white one for me. Thanks everyone for your input and Mark for the great review! Congrats on your milestone - you deserve it 🥳
Did you upgrade to xiaomi 13? I also have the poco f1 and want to upgrade so I would like to hear your expetience
@@necko_ba yes I did. I love it. The smoothness of the phone, the snappiness, the sleek look, it's very light, it's the perfect size for me, the camera is great except for the selfie camera (but that's most phones), battery life is not too bad, and it has esim. I've had it for 6 months now and I don't have any complaints. Maybe the camera could be a bit better but that's really a personal preference. All in all, I highly recommend it! It's definitely better than our old Poco phone. Oh, it doesn't have FM radio, which I do need sometimes but I kept my Poco phone for that reason. That's the main downfall for me but if you don't need it, then great. I hope this helps you decide!
Subscribed, love your review!
I wanted this phone but gonna wait for the 14 to see if they improve certain things in the software. Really wanted it, hopefully they keep the same design
u can wait till december or jan cuz iz guess it would be the released date of global version. Slightly early in china
@@Usersf134ssk yeah cuz xiaomi target customer is mainly chinese. There are tons of MIUI features only for chinese version
Thx for the review. One question though - how do you find the signal strength (not wifi, but cellular network) when compared to Samsung s23?
That depends more of the provider you use, not the phone antennas. Since I use dual sim daily with different providers I can assure you that not the hardware it's the problem with phone signal
@@xNanoByte I don't know but based on my experience I do not think so. Recently I was hiking in the mountaint with two of my mates. We all have the same provider, two of us have galaxy s21, and the third - Oneplus 7 Pro. He constantly had all the bars whereas both s21 had none or were really struggling. Hence my question, because you are comparing chinese phone to a Samsung galaxy.
I watched many xiaomi 13 phone reviews but your review was so honest❤
That's freaking awesome Mark. Always love your honest opinion on products! Hope more success comes your way! God bless
How are the colors vs the S23 on the display side, I really want a phone with the correct colors as the google and apple phones
I'm using mi11 lite 5g for 2 years now and i never had any problems with it. Xiaomi make great phones last years.
Im insanely happy with mine!!
What is it with people and updates? DO you really want your phone to stop working after the new iteration is out?! (iPhone?)
hay, i have the xiaomi MI-11 and i debating if to bay the Xiaomi 13 or to wait to the Xiaomi 14..... my question is, what is your opinion?
Can it be opened when stolen because my Xiaomi note 10pro was stolen and the find my device is on in the settings. So I don't really know if it can be opened if stolen and I activated it on lost mode when it was stolen. So I just wanna know if it will be opened by whoever stole it or useful for the theif. Need your respond?
Fast smoothly
Very soon i will take it xiaomi 13...so pretty this phone looking❤❤❤
Thanks for that review! Do you think a tested by a shop (2 years warranty) Xiaomi 13 8/256 for 644 USD worth it in december 2023?
Love your videos man! Keep up the good work, i wish you 1 million soon😌
0:51 i cannot deny that, those people who saying miui is bad because they use others UI , not familiar with Miui , for existing xiaomi users can feel the latest version really good , most of us didn't expected they would improve that much. What a great development from them ❤
Why my xiaomi 13 heats too easy can you help me pls ?
I have xiaomi 13. I got problems :
1. When posting video on WhatsApp status, quality is horrible
2. WhatsApp video call camera quality is horrible
3. When take video outside daylight, the video is crazy bright, and the video is not smooth, sometimes feels like stopping.
4. When listening something on TH-cam background and checking on Instagram, the video sound stops on TH-cam often.
Does anyone have same problems?
Fantastic video and I totally agree! I´ve tried them all but Xiaomi definitely have some things that the other flagships cant compete with. Great work and spot on mate!
"... that thing blew my absolute mind. That's not even a phrase i just made that up, my absolut mind, what does that even mean?! I dont know, Subscribe!... " 😂😂😂
Nice review bro, subscribed
I bought it because it checked alot of the boxed that i wanted. Flat screen, flat sides, fast charging, new soc, pocket friendly, nice camera system, under $800.... But it doesn't support all of T-Mobiles bands. It does support 2/3 to 3/4 of them but not all of them. I live in heavy wooden areas where i rely on those bands, so i went with OnePlus 11. Still a super solid phone.
Loving this phone right now❤love the color white ❤
With photos it's an interesting thing to me. Because photos are art. And art isn't to be looked at objectively but subjectively. So if it takes subjectively better photos they ARE the better photos.
Just saying...
I bought two times mi4 a lont times go, I have been using oneplus and pixel for yo many years, tight now I am felling tempting to try the xiaomi again.
Does anyone here have experience with the oneplus 11? If so, what do you say about the comparison with the oneplus 11. Do you think the battery in the oneplus 11 is that much better when you put the same resolution in there as in the xiaomi 13?
I'm using mi 11 lite it's not the best phone with best cameras or best display or best system but I really love how fast they charge 😂 I get up, have shower, do some skin care, get dress and my phone is fully charged 😂
I mean it's to be aspected at that price point
Thank you for the great review🔝❤
Bro in which website mi 13 is available in usa .i searched on amazon and walmart mi 13 is not there .my brother is staying in minneapolis plz suggest me how to buy this phone online or offline
Plz reply bro. i am from BHARAT india
Wait a minute, does this phone actually leave watermarks on every photo and video?
Is there an option for it to turn off?
U can turn it off in setting or edit in the album
Does this work on TMobile
Yes
love it...one of very few phones besides the pixal 7a & 8 series that have a ultra wide selfie camera
S24 exynos or this?
Because of this review instant subs from me...
Please if you could try Nubia / Asus / ZTE etc
But most of the time I'm interested in knowing if Cube ACR works on phones or if it has native call recording etc I have to check indian or Indonesian reviews for that but I travel and live mostly in UK and U.S.
Does it work on T-Mobile with 5G ?
Yes!:) I have T-Mobile and it works PERFECTLY. but funny enough, today I switched to AT&T cause of a huge promotion and … it no longer works 🫠 T-Mobile is a champ
If your in the USA, then the answer is yes... But No. That's because xiomie does not produce devices for USA. However, if you were to buy their global version, it would work (85% of the time). Hope this helps
Hello Mark, you are goodllooking! - Love from Manila.
Great review ❤
You never mentioned the screen. Screen have bad calibration, brightness is week and yellow color is like, 50% of the spectrum of other colors. I have 12T and compering it to 13 is so bad. I have to put xiaomi 13 screen satturation to max out in advanced options to get what 12t have out of the box. I dont get it. And no mater what I do, I cant bring yellow colors up witch tells me there is somethging wrrong with the screens that Xiaomi is using for 13 models. And with the camera, Leica filters are cool but not be able to turn them off even if Im using PRO mod is insane to me.
Watching this on my Poco F1, wish i have a phone like that. Love the video 🫰
I got this phone but ended up selling it to get the S23. Hardware wise this a better phone, especially the camera produces much more pleasing pictures, Samsungs pictures look too bright and the colors look off. But MIUI just lacked a lot of the customization options that OneUi offers that ultimately are more important to me.
I wanna change my xiaomi 13 to S23 also. I don't like cameras, especially vid calls on WhatsApp. And when post something to on whatsapp status video quality is horrible
@@cemarda2560 oh yea that too, miui camera is really badly optimized with apps like instagram and snapchat
I'm curious about what customization you missed from oneui and miui didn't had.
Can you just do a little review about xiaomi mi 13 ultra... im a new subscriber for your channel and this is my first & new request...
Interesting. Those photos do have certain look and feel.
Should I buy this or the iphone 13 pro max? (I never use an iphone so I want to try 😄)
I think it is not screen protector, it is probably a film that prevents scratches during transportation. I usually replace it with a real glass one in order to protect the screen from cracking while falling. But if it is the real one, kudos to Xiaomi
Xiaomi 13 series Android 14 Stable update is released for lucky users. Mobile technology giant Xiaomi has started releasing the long-awaited Android 14 based MIUI update for its flagship models, Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro. This update is designed to bring advanced optimizations and new features of Android 14 to users.
My best phone so far is mi 11. Super satisfying still using. Just waiting for mi 13 to drop the price 🎉 no complaints what so ever
isn't mi 11 a very hot phone?
isn't mi 11 a phone which get hot easily?
thak you for this video.
Was contemplating between this or S23, got this 12/256gb for 700$ instead, Samsung costed around 850$ and that's just for the base 8/128gb model and with NO CHARGER INCLUDED IN THE BOX.
After getting used to 67w fast charging on my old Xiaomi 11T,i can't imagine how i would be with S23 "fast" charging if i were to own it. Also, i think 13's camera is superior than S23 (except for the selfie video of course LOL)
I also have the 11T, how do you compare them after getting the Xiaomi 13
@@tahsyns.1506 honestly not that much apart from camera, which was the main reason why i upgraded. 13 has been super snappy, like super fast, it's so buttery smooth, navigation through apps and UI is such a joy.
Although this might be my recency bias talking. That's not to say that 11T felt slower though, in fact it rarely showed any signs of sluggishness, if at all.
I think you are perfectly fine with 11T if you don't care about camera. If you can hold another year, 14 might be one worth going for, rumours going around that Xiaomi will finally add 4K for front video so there's that.
@@tahsyns.1506 don't take my opinion heavily, this is my first flagship experience after all. Never would i imagine spending this much money on a Xiaomi LOL, but here I am (Though in my country most premium flagship cost way more than 13, and I'd rather not go cheap and get the budget flagship brand like Poco or Realme). Suffice to say that it's definitely a great device.
the screen size is the perfect one
There's something strangely onpoint with all the Chinese fingerprint readers. They just work. I've had the Samsung S21, 22, and both had issues with reading my fingerprint on the first try. I had to be deliberate with the push.
On my Xiaomi, and before that, Huawei, I often unlocked the phone accidentally with just a light brush.
What about adds? Does it have in the phone apps? Those are annoying
Long Time xiaomi user here my last phone was the Mi9 and was fantastic phone just bought not long ago the Mi13 and wow really love the phone for the price and what you get really good bang for your bucks. I had nothing but good experience with xiaomi certainly where i am in Canada we only have Apple, Samsung, Pixel and other very cheap phones and to be able to have xiaomi is a blessing not huge fans of the other brands for what you pay for is nothing compare to the xiaomi. Apple and Samsumg still uses slow chargers pretty much same phone for apple i don't like their IOS nothing like android. Overall the Mi13 is a 8.7 for me like you said no phone is perfect but for me it is.
Did you buy the global version for our Canadian network bands?
I'm thinking of switching from a mi note 10 pro
@@alexisbeaulne9692 yes i did i never had any issues with xiaomi phones on any network. yeah some places very rare i get a weaker signal but all good. i really love it. Even my Mi 9 never had any issues
people who rely on the newest updates and say that it's the reason they buy an iPhone. You're getting half baked software, and prefering that over a well made, well rounded software
love the review!
What's there not to like? Indeed!
You deserve it, for your honesty 🎉 enjoy
Planning on getting the pro next year
The problem with updates is not about "wanting the latest", it's about security holes not getting fixed.
Watching using my xiaomi 13 this phone replacing my galaxy note 8 and im satisfied so much❤ im from the Philippines 😊
Hey that’s awesome! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
0:51 Probably those whose thinking Miui as it's still built in 2012 of course it has its downsides but not today... They're just straight up hating by reading at comments who again, probably hasn't experience MIUI.
i live in europe and as you can guess mark the iphone and samsung are very expensive , i can afford it but for me buying a phone that comes with no charger and no case makes no sense . So im a xiaomi´s customer for about 7 years i admit the updates are not constantly (about 2 3 months each update) and the miui experience is not perfect personaly i didnt encounter too many bugs but i feel like its a very minimalist OS wich delivers the essencial that is needed for the day to day and most of the people don´t like the OS cause usually they buy the low ,medium or low end device and the real best xiaomi expecience is in the high end.
i recently bought the xiaomi smartwatch S1 pro and the redmi buds pro 4 i gotta say it´s been a smooth experience not alot to complain. No smartphone company comes close when the subject is fast charging , i charge my phone 0 to 100 in 19 minutes , the battery delivers a 9 to 10 hours with constant using but since im not always on my phone i end the day with 20 to 30% and again put it on the charge 15 minutes booom its done. i dont gaming alot casually i play a game for 30 minutes and delivers top perfomance.
for me spending 1000+ euros on the iphone makes no sense and sometimes when i talk to people and ask them why they bought an iphone when dont even use the ecosystem , cameras or for work makes my mind blow, its all about the status for most people that buy iphones in my country , best regards
hi, wanted to asked something to a xiaomi 13 buyer, how much screen time do you get (are 9-10 hours your screen time?) and what about the temps in general use? Temp, as the video said, is very important for the battery... I have a OP 5T from over 5 years and had great battery for a long time because of low temps reached (39° peak when charged today and when stressed). I want to change my old phone with a xiaomi 13 (or 13t maybe?), zenfone 10 (but i think it has a too little screen for my taste unfortunately) or the iqoo 11s (but it's only shipped from china and it's very big!).
@@MrGius46 to be honest with you i have the k50 series from Xiaomi and my screen time is about 5 7 hours its not the best but since i can always rely on the fast charging but i know for a fact that the 13 series screen on time its alot beter they use the latest snapdragon chip
@@DoPe-vj5bb oh ok, thanks for the answer 👍
Xiaomi Is underrated just for being Chinese.
But it's done the unthinkable which is rivaling whith the best of the best ❤❤❤
Hello. I have been using a xiaomi 10T Pro for 3 years and I have no regrets
Mf companies not including chargers is the most greedy, douchebag move in the whole history of smartphones.
Agreed. It’s not about saving the environment. It’s about saving their money 😂
🫵🏽
Is it better than the S23 ultra?
Okay, ive used it for 4 days, and this phone's battery lasts like forever!!!!
WHAT ROM YOU GOT ON XIAOMI???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
congrats on your award
Thank you so much!!! :)
I have got the 13 pro, i agree with everything except the heat, maybe cuz i live in a real hot area (40+ c)
lmaooo. Heat will really damage the phone. I suspect the heat has caused the drop of my xiaomi 13's battery capacity to 4369...
