Xiaomi 13 review: A compact high performer

Xiaomi 13 is aimed at offering a premium experience at a slightly lower price than the Xiaomi 13 Pro.

The Xiaomi 13 has a 6.36-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1900-nit peak brightness.

The device has a 4,500mAh battery, with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, making it one of the best-performing phones on the market.

It also has a triple camera, with a 10-megapixel main camera, a 50- megapixel ultra-x optical array, and a 12 megapixel wide camera.

The Xiaomi 13 is running MiUI 14, which is based on Android 11.

Some tweaks, like the quick settings shade, are clearly there to mimic iOS, and I don't mind that.

The camera is the main area of compromise, but it still produces good-looking photos.
