Xiaomi 13 Ultra: Leica optical lenses to create the perfect Leica Summicron lens for mobile imaging
The strategic collaboration between Xiaomi and Leica in the global imaging industry has taken another milestone with the further enhancement of the Summicron lens in the optical system, offering ‘a transition ceremony to the new era of mobile imaging’. Inherited from the Leica M-series optical concept, the Leica optical system incorporated in Xiaomi 13 Ultra boasts characteristics of compactness, large aperture, high imaging performance, reliability and durability. The lens adopts a very high-level polynomial design, which allows it to reach a degree of precision in the nanometer, approaching the optical limit. The multi-layer coating greatly reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring stable performance in extremely cold and hot environments.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra features a quad camera system with Leica optical lenses covering focal lengths ranging from 12mm (ultra-wide angle), 23mm (wide angle), 75mm (telephoto), up to the new 120mm (super-telephoto), plus extra lengths of 46mm and 240mm thanks to the ‘In-Sensor-Zoom. In addition to the flexibility of focal lengths, the professional camera setting of the smartphone offers a variable aperture. Three of Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s cameras have a larger aperture of ƒ/2.0, which allows for more light and a soft, shallow depth of field, as well as shorter shutter speeds, to capture natural, must-see moments faster. With a sensor IMX989 ultra large 1 inch and a new two-stop physical aperture that goes from ƒ/1.9 to ƒ/4.0, the main camera gives content creators greater freedom to tailor exposures to suit different scenarios. Inspired by the “hyperfocal distance” shooting method commonly used by street photographers, Xiaomi 13 Ultra also offers a new Fast Shot mode that allows you to take snapshots without focusing by manually setting the focus point and then launching and capturing the moment in suns 0.8 seconds.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra: Professional-grade, end-to-end color restoration capabilities from shot to image capture
Xiaomi 13 Ultra has fully optimized the RAW workflow, and more algorithms have migrated to the RAW domain to maximize the dynamic range, detail and texture of the image, thereby significantly improving image quality. The main camera supports the format RAW and 50MPoffering higher imaging resolution while providing UltraRAW multi-frame a 14 bit, which takes data directly from the processing pipeline, offering better resolution and high dynamic range. Camera profiles will be created by Adobe, providing a better starting point for post-production.
Display
As for the display, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra features a professional-grade 6.73″ WQHD+ screen with excellent color accuracy and peak brightness up to 2600 nit. This display is also calibrated according to the new CIE 2015 colorimetry, which supports perfect automatic color management to ensure accurate and consistent color presentation on the displays of the latest Xiaomi devices. Xiaomi 13 Ultra also supports the end-to-end experience guaranteed by Dolby Visioncapturing in vivid color, astonishing contrast and brightness, along with a panoramic view rich in detail in dark and bright areas, giving users the opportunity to share their creative content in UGC platforms that support Dolby Vision.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra: ultra-fast experience thanks to the in-house developed heat dissipation technology and the Xiaomi Surge battery management system.
An annual masterpiece of the Xiaomi Ultra product line, the new device features the most powerful hardware configuration currently available, along with a suite of innovative new technologies for a world-class flagship experience. Xiaomi 13 Ultra pays homage to the classic look of the series Leica M cameras with its circular camera module, metal unibody construction and leather finish. With a weight of 227g and a metal unibody structure that offers greater resistance to bending than the previous generation, the smartphone design provides a foundation for the entire structure and a more secure grip. Wrapped in second-generation antibacterial nanotechnology silicone skin, the back panel of Xiaomi 13 Ultra is not only resistant to fingerprints and smudges, but also antibacterial and anti-yellow. Its bacterial inhibition rate can reach 99%, perfect for almost any environment. Equipped with the latest high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, adopting 4nm process technology, Xiaomi 13 Ultra offers superior performance and power consumption. Your smartphone supports one RAM up to 16GB LPDDR5x and a UFS 4.0 memory up to 1TB, as well as FBO (File Based Optimization). Xiaomi 13 Ultra is also equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface and DisplayPort video output up to 4K 60Hz.
More features
Thanks to the Loop LiquidCool technology developed by Xiaomi, the first aerospace-grade toroidal cooling system on a smartphone, Xiaomi 13 Ultra has achieved a ‘unidirectional conduction’ of internal circulation through the structure of ‘vapor-liquid separation‘. This guarantees an equivalent thermal conductivity more than three times higher than that of traditional VC and a heat dissipation capacity higher than 10W. Thanks to this powerful and advanced technology, Xiaomi 13 Ultra can support stable 4K 60fps video recording without frame rate drop due to temperature. Thanks to the pairing of a Xiaomi Surge P2 charging chip and a battery management chip Xiaomi Surge G1 With a 5,000mAh battery, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra uses a variety of battery health functions and is able to estimate battery life at extremely granular levels. Xiaomi 13 Ultra also adds a new hibernation mode, which activates automatically when the battery is low, limiting background activities and offering up to 60 minutes of additional standby time.
Prices and availability
Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be available for the first time in mainland China in April and will be launched in various international markets in the coming months. Prices, sales start date and distribution channels in Italy will be communicated together with the arrival of the product on the market. What do you think of the new Xiaomi smartphone?
