Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On the evening of December 11, the launch of the new product of Xiaomi 13 series & MIUI 14 was officially held, of which nothing attracted the most attention than the new flagship Xiaomi 13 series. As one of the first terminals of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, the important point of Xiaomi 13 series is what kind of experience Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 can bring. But at the same time, as the latest flagship work of the Xiaomi digital series, the Xiaomi 13 series naturally needs other concerns, such as the new design language, the new Leica imaging system, and so on.

In short, like Xiaomi's flagship in previous years, this is a star product that has its own highlights and topics, and CTOnews.com is the first time to get Xiaomi 13 Pro with wilderness green colors. So what is its actual experience? Can it become your ideal flagship? Now let's learn about it along with the evaluation.

First, the designer will feel a little familiar when he gets the package of Xiaomi 13 Pro. It is still the previous generation of all-black cuboid shape with hot stamped text on the surface. The difference is that the unique red mark of Leica on the front makes the box look more refreshing than ever.

When you open the box and take out the phone, you can see that the overall design language of the previous generation has been basically extended on the Xiaomi 13 Pro. Perhaps the biggest difference is the more eye-catching camera module on the back, and the coherent design language that followed.

First of all, look at the most eye-catching camera module. This three-camera module forms a standard rounded square. The surface is covered with black glass panels, and the cameras are still familiar with the thin line design, full of regularity and order.

The lower right corner of the camera module is marked by a striking "LEICA", followed by a small camera message, followed by a flash.

Because the main photo uses a 1-inch IMX989 sensor, Xiaomi 13 Pro's camera module is significantly more prominent than the previous generation, but Xiaomi's unique coherent design language eliminates this bulge to some extent.

CTOnews.com has a wild green version with a ceramic back cover, and the back of the phone looks like a strong unity, especially at the connection with the camera module, which seamlessly connects with the black ceramic edge of the camera module with a curved slope, rather than bluntly allowing the camera module to "grow" on the back of the phone. This coherent design language visually relieves the bulge of the camera module.

If you look at the whole back of the phone, except for the black camera module, there is only the "xiaomi" Logo arranged vertically on the left, which looks very simple. In addition, the ceramic material itself is smoother, the texture of porcelain is solid, and the color is purer, which makes the back of Xiaomi 13 Pro more visually integrated and moist.

Here, let's talk about the wilderness green color matching, which is a kind of low saturation, fresh and gentle light green, with the unique texture of ceramics, conveying a kind of wilderness-like quiet temperament.

The coherent design of Xiaomi 13 Pro is also reflected in the fuselage as a whole, and the four-curved solid fuselage makes it show a coherent and graceful curve. Gently transition from the back of the phone to the middle frame, and then connect with the screen glass of the front four curved surfaces through the middle frame, smooth and natural.

The front of the phone, which is the 6.73-inch curved screen, is the same as the previous generation, with holes in the top of the front camera and narrow borders on the left and right sides, which brings excellent visual perception when the screen is lit.

If you look at the other elements of the fuselage, at the top of the middle frame are speakers, noise reduction microphones, infrared sensors, barometers and antennas, while at the bottom are SIM card slots, USB Type-C ports, talking microphones and speakers.

There are volume buttons and power keys on the left side of the fuselage, but no buttons on the right side of the fuselage.

In terms of handle, the Xiaomi 13 Pro fuselage uses a four-curved continuous design, so the phone will be very soft and comfortable to hold in the hand, coupled with the delicate texture and fine taste of the ceramic back cover, this comfort is slightly better than holding glass.

At the same time, Xiaomi 13 Pro has a body weight of 210g and a thickness of 8.7mm, all of which are in an acceptable range. It usually has some weight when it is used with one hand, but it does not fall.

Overall, while maintaining the core design language, Xiaomi 13 Pro has made adjustments based on the previous generation, most notably the changes in the camera and the addition of a coherent design language to make the whole phone more recognizable. Especially in the hands of the editor of this wilderness green + ceramic back cover version, fresh and textured, very fashionable, I believe it will be loved by many consumers.

Second, screen experience Xiaomi 13 Pro is equipped with a 6.73-inch super-visual screen, using the latest generation of E6 luminous material, support 2K resolution and 120Hz VRR dynamic refresh rate, PPl is 522, can be very delicate when displaying text or pictures. For example, in the picture taken at close range, the edges of the text are very smooth and smooth.

At the same time, this screen supports native 10bit color depth, covers 100% sRGB and 100% P3 color space, and can display richer and more delicate colors than ordinary mobile phones. The CTOnews.com measured screen supports 99.4% sRGB gamut and 95.9% DCI-P3 gamut.

At the same time, Xiaomi 13 Pro's screen was calibrated screen by screen when it left the factory. Therefore, it can provide very accurate color display. And Xiaomi 13 Pro also supports rich screen color management functions, you can choose your favorite display mode in the on-screen color style, in advanced mode, you can also adjust the color gamut support, RGB color space, HSV color space and other display options, which brings a custom experience for color professional users.

Another highlight of Xiaomi 13 Pro screen is the support for 120Hz VRR infinitely variable refresh rate. Due to the use of LTPO material, 1-120Hz stepless variable refresh rate can be achieved, completely abandoning the concept of gear, GPU output one frame, refresh one frame.

In daily App scenes, when the content of the screen remains unchanged, Xiaomi 13 Pro can refresh the screen to match the GPU output, so that the refresh stops immediately when the screen is still, keeping the 1Hz still. This effect is most obvious when the clock widget is placed on the desktop. Only when the second hand moves, the screen will refresh immediately, then the screen will stand still and immediately fall back to 1Hz.

In heavily loaded game scenarios, Xiaomi 13 Pro supports VRR variable refresh rate, which is a necessary feature of game consoles and high-end PC graphics cards. VRR breaks the tradition that the screen must be refreshed in the cycle of 16.7ms, but adjusts dynamically according to the output rhythm of GPU, so that although the screen works in 60Hz mode, it can get the display delay equivalent to 120Hz.

For example, when Xiaobian plays "original God" with Xiaomi 13 Pro, let the screen refresh rate work in 60Hz, and then enter the game scene, first set the game frame rate at 60fps, you can see that when the game screen changes, the flow of the scene is very steady, there is no subtle card-by-card jitter when sliding on the home screen, and the experience is almost not much different from the 120Hz refresh rate. Then the editor sets the frame rate of the game to 30fps, and then runs the characters and changes the scene, and you will find that the screen look and feel of the game is still very stable, which is obviously different from the experience of playing 30fps on other mobile phones, and you may even have an illusion that the difference between the fluency of the game under 30fps and that of 60fps is not very obvious. This is actually the infinite variable refresh rate of VRR at work.

In addition, Xiaomi 13 Pro's screen also supports hyperdynamic display, which can show a more realistic relationship between light and shade when displaying photos. When you create photos or videos, you can clearly show a wide range of areas from dark black to bright white, with brighter highlights and more details, while ensuring a smooth transition between different luminance areas, thus showing you the true feeling of what the human eye sees.

After actual experience and testing, CTOnews.com feels that the screen of Xiaomi 13 Pro does have excellent display quality. at the same time, the addition of infinitely variable refresh rate and VRR technology can give users a better viewing experience and save power consumption.

Third, performance experience performance, Xiaomi 13 Pro is equipped with the new generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, this chip platform uses a different architecture design, adding a new Cortex-A715 super performance core, in the most needed performance, the fusion architecture A715 and A710 a total of four cores become the mainstay, bringing strong lasting performance. Based on the new TSMC 4nm process, the transistor density is increased by 20%. The performance is improved while the power consumption is reduced, and the energy consumption ratio is the best in three years.

At the same time, the Xiaomi 13 Pro in CTOnews.com 's hands is equipped with 12GB LPDDR5X 8533Mbps memory and 512GB's UFS 4.0 flash memory, and the overall performance specification is also the current top array.

CTOnews.com first carried out a wave of running test on Xiaomi 13 Pro, in which the comprehensive running scores of an Rabbit, CPU and GPU were 1307021, 283922 and 581689 respectively. The score of GeekBench 5.4.4 was 1443 for single core and 5053 for multi-core. In the aspect of AndroBench, sequential read 3566.61MB/s, sequential write 2672.86MB/s, random read 393.16 MB/s, random write 536.34 MB/s. After a wave of running, Xiaomi 13 Pro showed a smallpox performance.

Next, we have a game test. First of all, look at the running performance of "Game for Peace". When the game is going on, CTOnews.com sets the screen options to the highest. Under the ultra-high definition picture quality, the maximum frame rate of the game is 40fps. Then play the game for 15 minutes.

After the end of the game, the measured average frame rate is 39.9fps, ignoring the meaningless frame rate fluctuation, in fact, the whole process is running at full frame. The whole play experience is naturally smooth and smooth.

In the course of the game, the core scheduling of the second generation Snapdragon 8 is reasonable and easy, but when it first entered the game to load resources, the super-large core Cortex-X3 shot up to about 2.9GHz, and basically did not make any effort the rest of the time, mainly by 4 performance cores and 3 energy efficiency cores working, basically easy to deal with.

The average utilization rate of GPU is 21.9%.

During the game, the average power consumption of the second generation Snapdragon 8 is about 3.002W, and the hottest part of the fuselage is only 36.5 ℃, so the heat control is still very good.

Then we use "original God" to test Xiaomi 13 Pro. When the game is running, set the image quality options as high as possible, as follows:

When testing the game, CTOnews.com played the game for 30 minutes while running pictures. After the end of the game, the average frame rate of Xiaomi 13 Pro running "original God" is 60.2fps, which can be said to be running in full frame. From the actual experience in the process of playing, it is also very smooth, almost without falling frames.

Judging from the use of the second generation Snapdragon 8 CPU core, Xiaomi 13 Pro is relatively active in scheduling each core when running the original god, and basically each core participates in the performance output. at the same time, the division of labor among super core, performance core and energy efficiency core is also very clear, which ensures that the load of each core will not rush to a very high level, and only in a few cases, the performance core will rush to the 2.7GHz. But it will fall back soon.

At the same time, we can see that the utilization rate of GPU has reached 65.7%.

The reasonable core scheduling strategy, coupled with the energy efficiency improvement of the second generation Snapdragon 8, makes the power consumption of Xiaomi 13 Pro run at about 5.009W, which is very good. CTOnews.com also measured that the highest temperature of the fuselage was 41.8 ℃, and there was no feeling of being hot when playing.

Summary, under the blessing of the second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, the performance of Xiaomi 13 Pro is naturally out of the question. In terms of power consumption, this time the second-generation Snapdragon 8 has also done a very good job. Coupled with active regulation and optimization strategies, Xiaomi 13 Pro will not disappoint you in terms of performance and power consumption.

Fourth, the image performance from Xiaomi 12s series and professional camera brand Leica cooperation, Xiaomi mobile phone images can be said to have entered a new stage of development. This time the Xiaomi 13 series video system is also jointly built with Leica. Take Xiaomi 13 Pro as an example, its rear main photo uses the same 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor as the Ultra, 5000 megapixels, f / 1.9large aperture, Quad-Bayer pixel array, fusion pixels reach an unprecedented 3.2micron. This brings the advantages of excellent noise control, large dynamic range, larger light input and lossless 2 × zoom for Xiaomi 13 Pro.

Next, we might as well take a look at the main photo taken by Xiaomi 13 Pro.

First, when there was plenty of light during the day, CTOnews.com first took a picture with Xiaomi 13 Pro's Leica vivid mode, and you can see that the straight sample is clear, sharp, and the color is cold, and the real sky is not as blue as the picture shows.

Enlarge the photo, the "warm reminder" on the corner guide board can also be seen clearly, and the detailed resolution can be satisfactory.

Take a look at the following scene with strong light contrast, the main photo of Xiaomi 13 Pro shows a good dynamic range, the clouds in the highlight part of the sky are rich in details, and the dark side of the backlight of the wooden boat is brighter than that seen by the human eye, and the details are rich without noise, the whole photo shows the bright sense of the afternoon very well, and it is still a high saturation style, which is more pleasing to the eye.

Let's compare the difference in image style between Leica vivid and Leica classic. Take the buildings reflected in the water as an example, Leica looks bright and gorgeous as a whole, although the contrast of the picture is also higher than that of ordinary mobile phones. but it only enhances the contrast in places close to pure darkness, which does not have much effect on the overall sense of beauty of the photo.

If you look at the Leica classic mode, the difference in style in the same scene is still very obvious, the contrast between the light and shade of the picture is more intense, and the pool water no longer deliberately pursues the sense of clarity in Leica's vivid mode, but appears thick. the density of clouds in the sky seems to have increased a bit, and the whole tone looks more three-dimensional and on-the-spot.

To sum up, Leica vivid mode is suitable for taking travel photos and sharing social platforms, while Leica classics are relatively more suitable for taking humanistic scenes and documentary photos. Of course, we also need to play independently according to the actual situation.

In the night scene, CTOnews.com first chose the door of the mall with complex neon light. The sample of Xiaomi 13 Pro is bright enough and the picture is pure. At the same time, the color still maintains a bright look and feel. At the same time, the suppression of neon sign highlights belongs to the level that the current flagship should have.

For example, the following one is still bright and transparent, and the look and feel is excellent. At the same time, what amazes CTOnews.com is that the steaming heat of food in the snack shop floats in mid-air and is accurately restored by Xiaomi 13 Pro, indicating that the optical lens of this phone does have a very good quality.

After the main photo shoot, we will take a look at the telephoto. This time the Xiaomi 13 Pro is equipped with a Leica floating telephoto lens with 5000 megapixels and f / 2.0 aperture. Here is a technological innovation. In the past, the telephoto lens was limited by the height of the module, so it was almost impossible to close the focus in the 45cm, so when users need to shoot close objects or small objects with telephoto, the phone often falls back to the main camera trimming to ensure that the picture is basically available, but the clarity will be seriously damaged.

This time, Xiaomi 13 Pro divides the lens group inside the telephoto into upper and lower groups. The latter three pieces have a very strong focusing ability and float inside the lens group when focusing, so it can achieve a very large focus range from 10cm to infinity in a limited travel, which even exceeds many mobile phone main shots. This design draws lessons from the "rear focus" used in the SLR microlens.

In the actual test, CTOnews.com first took a picture of the street with the main shot, and then took a picture of the same scene with a telephoto lens (3.2x) to compare the difference in the range of view:

As you can see, under the telephoto lens, there is almost no difference between the imaging style and the main shot, and the distant scene can be taken more clearly, such as comparing the main photo with the telephoto lens, and the text on the KFC signboard. It's obviously a telephoto lens.

At the same time, as mentioned earlier, this telephoto lens can also take close-up super close-ups of 10cm, such as the editor's close-up shot of dried plum flowers with a telephoto lens, and can also focus successfully. And capture the details accurately. This super close-up feature is very pain-solving, because many phones don't have enough pixels in their macro lenses, and they can't focus if they want to shoot close-ups with other shots.

Xiaomi 13 Pro also has an ultra-wide-angle lens with a 5000-megapixel f / 2.2 aperture. Similarly, in the roadside scene above, comparing the ultra-wide-angle and the main photo, we can see that the color of the ultra-wide-angle film is slightly lighter than that of the main photo, and the contrast is not as strong as the main photo. The overall photo still maintains high quality, and there is no obvious distortion on the edge of the picture.

This ultra-wide-angle lens can also take super macro photos. Xiaobian took a scene of residual snow in the grass. The depth of field under the super macro is very shallow, the effect of virtual outside the focus is very good, and the crystal clear snow particles in the focus are clear.

In addition, in the Masters lens package of Xiaomi 13 Pro, a new 75mm portrait lens has been added, which can bring ultra-shallow depth of field, natural skin color, and unique virtual and spot effects. For example, in the following picture, the depth of field is very shallow.

In addition, the previous generation of Cyber Focus focus function is also supported on Xiaomi 13 Pro, which supports automatic tracking of human eyes, faces, people, pet eyes, pets, birds, insects, flowers, food and other subjects. During the test, the editor ran back and forth in the screen, and Xiaomi 13 Pro could accurately track and keep the characters in focus.

Press the shutter, the picture taken is also very clear, the characters in the movement are not confused at all.

In terms of video shooting, Xiaomi 13 Pro also supports shooting HDR video in 4K10bit Dolby horizon. CTOnews.com also shot a 4K 30fps video when using it. The quality of the picture presented by Xiaomi 13 Pro is bright. The color in the video seems to be richer than what Xiaobian sees in real life, and in some highlight scenes, the video picture also shows obvious HDR effect.

On the whole, the cooperation with Leica makes Xiaomi improve its image, especially the tone, and this time the three cameras of Xiaomi 13 Pro show very high quality, and what impresses CTOnews.com is the super close-up function of the floating focus lens group. I believe that Xiaomi 13 Pro will be very suitable for you who like mobile photography.

Charging and battery life Xiaomi 13 Pro carries a large 4820mAh battery and introduces thepaper.cn battery management system, which officials say can last for 1.29 days, mainly due to its built-in thepaper.G1 battery management chip, which uses MNP integrated packaging technology to bring more accurate electricity meters, high safety, and delay battery aging for Xiaomi 13 Pro.

CTOnews.com also tested the range of Xiaomi 13 Pro. During the test, Xiaomi 13 Pro was in performance mode with Bluetooth, data traffic and NFC turned on, but the whole test was carried out under the Wi-Fi network. The initial power was 100%, and the screen and system sound were set to 50%.

First of all, the editor played "Game for Peace" in UHD for 30 minutes, consuming only 1% of the power (99% while the editor switched to the next project).

Then, I used "bilibili" to watch a 1080p high frame rate movie for 45 minutes, which consumed 4% of electricity.

Then use Xiaomi 13 Pro to browse Weibo for 10 minutes, which consumes 2% of electricity.

Finally, I browsed the short video with "Douyin" for 20 minutes and consumed 4% of the electricity.

With a total of 105 minutes of testing time, Xiaomi 13 Pro consumes 11% of its power and 89% of its remaining power. This battery life is excellent among the phones tested by CTOnews.com. Combined with the experience of the editor's daily use, under normal intensity, the service life of Xiaomi 13 Pro can indeed last more than a day.

In terms of charging, Xiaomi 13 Pro supports a 120W surging cable second charge, using a standard charger. The measured charge of CTOnews.com is from 0% to 100% in 24 minutes, of which the charge is charged in 5 minutes to 27% in 10 minutes, to 55% in 15 minutes to 79% in 20 minutes and to 94% in 24 minutes.

The ultra-fast charging experience of 120W is naturally very comfortable, and the charging time can be further shortened if the charging environment temperature is low and fast mode is turned on.

Conclusion as a flagship of the Pro class, the Xiaomi 13 Pro first continues the tradition of being willing to pile up materials in the past, no matter in terms of screen, performance, image or fast charging, etc., all piled up to the current mobile phone ceiling level. At the same time, Xiaomi 13 Pro also pays more attention to experience. Its ceramic body and novel color matching enhance the user's experience in hardware beauty and comfort, its innovation in telephoto lens, and the quality of Leica's imaging system. It also improves the user's photo detail experience, as well as the excellent display quality of the screen, as well as the addition of VRR infinite variable refresh rate technology. It also brings a better eye experience for users. In short, it is important that Xiaomi 13 Pro is not only the flagship of stacking, but also translates the stack into a real enhancement of the user experience.

As an omnipotent flagship that can be taken care of in all aspects, Xiaomi 13 Pro itself is naturally suitable for the vast majority of users, as long as you do not have special and niche needs in certain functions, then this phone can be included in your consideration list for replacement.
