Xiaomi has launched its flagship smartphone for 2023, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, which maintains its partnership with Leica for its camera technology.

The specifications of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra are as follows:

• 6.73″ AMOLED WQHD+ display with a 1-120Hz refresh rate, maximum brightness of 2600 nits, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection

• 5000mAh battery with 90W fast wired charging and 50W fast wireless charging, and Xiaomi Surge P2 chip for charging management and Surge G1 chip for battery management
• MIUI 14 on Android 13

The main selling point of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is its camera, which includes a total of four lenses with a resolution of 50MP and support for 4 different focal lengths: 12mm or 0.5x (ultra-wide angle), 23mm (wide angle), 75mm (telephoto), and 120mm (super-telephoto), with a maximum zoom of 240nm (10x).

• Super-telephoto camera with a Sony IMX858 sensor, 75mm f/3.0, and OIS

Another feature developed in partnership with Leica is the Summicron lens glass, which is well-known for its 8-piece construction, providing both flexibility and reduced lens size.

Other features include the ability to capture 14-bit Ultra RAW photos, shoot 10-bit LOG videos, and Leica 2-style filters with both Authentic Look and Vibrant Look options.
