The new Xiaomi 13 series is equipped with the latest Leica camera features

In July last year, Chinese smartphone maker, Xiaomi and International premium camera manufacturer, Leica Camera AG, successfully launched their first jointly developed products, the Xiaomi 12S Series. Now, just recently in Barcelona, the two presented their second jointly developed products, the Xiaomi 13 Series.

New Generation, Better Style

Being the second generation, the Xiaomi 13 Series presents new optical and computational capabilities with Leica True Color Imaging and a newly developed 75mm telephoto lens. It also offers professional camera features already featured on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, including signature Leica optics and two photographic styles.

Better Camera, Better Choice

According to the brand, the optics of the Xiaomi 13 series shine with its high resolution camera, large aperture, and barely perceptible distortions. The lenses thus form the appropriate basis for outstanding image quality. As with the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, you can also choose between the “Leica Authentic Look” and the “Leica Vibrant Look.” Both image profiles and a novelty in the smartphone camera segment.

Two Styles, Same Allure

On top of that, two different Leica Image experts have designed the Authentic Look with a focus on aesthetically pleasing and natural colour reproduction, well-drawn shadows, realistic local contrasts and excellent reproduction of fine details. On the other hand, the “Authentic Look” features reduced vignetting correction to achieve minimal light fall-off between the centre and corners of the image, giving it the typical look of a picture taken with a Leica Summicron lens.

Leica Camera Tech

The main camera of the Xiaomi 13 Pro also features a 1-inch ultra-large IMX989 sensor with a professional 23mm f/1.9 Leica lens. This consists of eight aspherical lenses, ALD Ultra-Low Reflective Coating, Lens Edge Ink Coating, a new cyclic olefin material and a rotation-coated infrared filter to achieve the same optical quality as the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.

Meanwhile, the main camera of the Xiaomi 13 is equipped with an IMX800 sensor with a professional 23mm f/1.8 Leica lens consisting of seven aspherical lenses, ALD Ultra- Low Reflective Coating, and the new cyclic olefin material for crystal clear images. Both devices support HyperOIS.
