It's already time for verdicts for the newcomer Xiaomi 13 Pro which has been reviewed by DxOMark for the usual camera tests.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro was subjected to our DXOMARK Camera test suite to measure its performance in terms of photo, video and zoom quality from an end-user perspective and analyzed how the device behaves in a variety of tests and several common use cases.
Xiaomi 13 Pro Main camera specifications
- Main sensor: 50-inch 1,0MP sensor, 1,9mm equivalent f/23 aperture lens, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS
- Ultra Wide Angle: 50 MP, 2.2mm equivalent f/14 aperture lens, AF
- Telephoto: 50MP, 2.0mm equivalent f/75 aperture lens, PDAF
DXOMARK test results for the Xiaomi 13 Pro
The DXOMARK Chamber score of 136, the Xiaomi 13 Pro performed well, offering a bright exposure, nice colors and good detail capture in both photo and video modes. In addition, the camera was able to produce high image quality at close-to-mid telephoto settings, and recorded still images with a wide dynamic range, even in low-light conditions.
The 13 Pro's camera has similar hardware Xiaomi 12S Ultra, but with some differences: the main module uses the same large 1MP 50″ sensor, but the tele configuration of the 13 Pro is different. The 13 Pro's telephoto lens doesn't use the periscope design of the 12S Ultra but features a shorter focal length that has better light-gathering capabilities. Another difference is that the 13 Pro is powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset instead of the first generation variant of the 12S Ultra. Both models have Leica-branded lenses and Leica color modes. We ran all DXOMARK camera tests on the Vibrant setting, just as we did with the 12S Ultra.
Overall camera performance was very similar between the two devices, with differences in a few secondary attributes. Notably, the shorter tele on the 13 Pro resulted in lower image quality at long-range tele settings. However, it improved over the 12S Ultra at close- and medium-range settings, especially when shooting in low light.
While clashing with high-level devices such as Honor Magic5 Pro, Google Pixel 7 Pro, Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max, the result of 16th place it is certainly not good news for the Xiaomi home. It is fair to point out that the version lo Xiaomi 13Ultra it will be Xiaomi's camera-phone for 2023, while the Xiaomi 13 Pro is a more balanced device that excels in all features.
