Xiaomi 13 Ultra is finally official. In addition to the IP68 rating which was already confirmed, Xiaomi also announced an anti-bacterial coating. The rear shell is leather-wrapped in olive green, black, and white colors. The available colors beautifully correspond to the metal ring in copper or silver color (depending on the body color) that surrounds the big circular camera island.
The camera island comprises an impressive set of cameras, all with Sony sensors. The main rear camera uses a Sony IMX989 sensor combined with a new Leica Summicron lens and Leica’s one-inch variable aperture technology which allows two aperture sizes – f/1.9 and f/4.0. Moreover, an in-house designed cooling system allows the smartphone to shoot continuously 4K videos at 60 fps without dropping the number of frames due to overheating. There are three other cameras adjoining the main one on the back of the device. Each has a Sony IMX858 sensor. One is behind an ultra-wide lens and the other two are behind telephoto lenses.
It must be noted that the new Leica lenses are compact high-performance lenses. They are in an aspherical manner with the shape of each being calculated by using ultra-high even order polynomials that achieve nanometer accuracy. They also use a new highly stable coating that ensures excellent optical performance in cold and hot weather. Moreover, Xiaomi and Leica have agreed that there’s an overuse of software computational methods that compensate for optical restrictions and these limitations should be solved by optical methods n order to achieve truly high-quality photography.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra is based on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform paired with 8GB/12GB/16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Power is supplied by a 5000 mAh battery with 90W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging support. The device uses an advanced battery life-saving technology that allows it to maintain a charge for 1 hour at 1% battery charge. As for the display, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra uses the latest C7 luminescent material on its 2K AMOLED screen with LTPO backplane and a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 2600 nits. Moreover, the device arrives with a multi-screen same-color technology solution which enables you to enjoy accurate colors across various platforms.
