Xiaomi 13T Pro

The 13T Pro has the same 6.67-inch OLED panel with 144Hz refresh rate as the base version, but moves to the more powerful Dimensity 9200+ chipset.

Triple Leica 50MP + 50MP + 12MP cameras, a 20MP selfie camera and a 5,000mAh battery are common to the two new phones. RAM is either 12GB or 16GB, with the faster LPDDR5X type used here, while storage is UFS 4.0 in three variants — 256GB, 512GB or 1TB.

At the same time, there’s no need to worry about the storage capacity.

Another major difference is charging speed — the 13T Pro uses 120-watt HyperCharge, meaning 19 minutes — that’s all it takes for the phone to fill the battery from zero to 100 percent. Both the 13T and 13T Pro have dual speakers and support Dolby Atmos Audio. They run Android 13 and MIUI 14.

They’re both powered by Android 13 and MIUI 14.
