Let’s dive into the world of the Xiaomi 13T Series and explore the amazing features that make it a must-have for photography and videography enthusiasts.
Pro-level Leica Photographic Capabilities
In response to the growing passion for creativity among smartphone users, the Xiaomi 13T Series brings forth professional-grade photography. Both the Xiaomi 13T Pro and Xiaomi 13T feature a triple-camera setup co-engineered with Leica, boasting a 50MP wide-angle camera with a 24mm equivalent focal length and a 7P aspherical lens designed to capture more light, supporting high dynamic range shooting. Additionally, a 50MP telephoto lens with a 50mm equivalent focal length and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera with a 15mm equivalent focal length complete the package.
Powered by 100% DCI-P3, both Xiaomi 13T Pro and Xiaomi 13T cameras offer a wider colour range, ensuring your photos capture every magical moment with classic Leica quality. What sets the Xiaomi 13T Series apart is its ability to deliver two original Leica photographic styles: the Leica Authentic Look and the Leica Vibrant Look. These styles provide highly striking imagery possibilities with natural colour reproduction, strong contrast, shadow definition, and timeless Leica image aesthetics.
The Xiaomi 13T Pro and Xiaomi 13T also offer six Leica filters, including the latest Leica Sepia and Leica Blue, inspired by the Leica M-Typ240 Film Mode. Additionally, four new Leica watermarks are available, giving you greater creative freedom for photo compositions and frame sizes.
Custom Photographic Styles
For those who like to fine-tune their photographic style, the Xiaomi 13T Series introduces the Custom Photographic Styles function under Pro mode. This feature, initially seen on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, allows users to adjust Tone, Tonality, and Texture at the pre-set stage, preserving more details and colours for post-processing. You can also save your preferred presets for a distinctly personal touch to your photos.
ProFocus Technology for Unmissable Action
With Xiaomi 13T Series’ ProFocus technology, photographers can capture action-packed scenes with incredible detail. Whether it’s fast-moving subjects like dogs and birds or captivating shots of people and places, the ProFocus technology ensures you never miss a moment.
Elevate Your Videography Game
For videography enthusiasts, the Xiaomi 13T Pro is a game-changer. It offers 10-bit LOG 4:2:0 H.265 video recording, providing unprecedented control over colour and detail. The pre-installed Rec.709 LUT adds a touch of professionalism to your videos, rendering them with unparalleled colour accuracy and visual depth.
Personalization Galore
Personalization is at the core of Xiaomi smart devices, and the Xiaomi 13T Pro allows you to express your unique vision. You can import your favourite LUT (Look-Up Table) style to the device, infusing your videos with your signature flair. Moreover, the Xiaomi 13T Pro boasts 8K video shooting capability, ensuring every scene, nuance, and detail of your videography is captured with theater-screening quality. Thanks to optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS), your videos remain rock-steady even in dynamic shooting scenarios.
