Thank you for your video, and the time to produce it 👍

Like i've said on the review of R.N Pro Plus, Leica colors are the best. Are the colors of memories. Everything we see is remembered with brighter and warmer colors, keeping just the black and white pure. I've remembered all my childhood hills and forest, seeing these beautifully rendered pictures! Lots of love to Leica!

Thank you for the comment!

Bokeh tech from Leica is just amazing. Oh how phone cameras have progressed ❤❤

[@jan-rybar]

Hi and yes, the technology really goes ahead quickly - and interestingly, the leap forward is the biggest in this "midrange" category - it just jumped ahead... Jan

Is it only for me when im walking and taking video with xiaomi, when taking a step the video gets blurry. Anyone knows how to fix?

[@kornar]

Thank you for the detailed review and thank you so much for including moving subjects in your review! Thats something many, many reviewers fail to mention. 😊 --- Meanwhile I had the chance to test the Xiaomi 13T and it is perfectly fine for moving subjects as well, but the Pixel 7 and 8 beat it in this regard as they are able to take pictures almost without any delay and have some software unblurr trickery up their sleeves. I still prefer the colours and the look of the Xiaomi 13(T) phones over the Pixel phones, as i think they create a more accurate representation of what you see, but when it comes to shooting automatic only, the pixel phones are hard to beat. I decided to get a Pixel 7 instead of a Xiaomi 13T as i feel it will serve me better as a point and shoot camera, especially in regards of taking pictures of my kids. But if I wouldn't also have an old Sony Alpha DSLR, I would probably have chosen the Xiaomi, as it manages to imitate a DSLR look quite well, has a more natural colour profile and more manual controls compared to the Pixel. ✌️

Finaly someone that checks for the same stuff I do, I also want my phone to take pictures and videos of my kids, have been trying to decide whether I should get pixel 8, 8 pro or this one. This has a bonus, It cames with all that you need (charger, case, huge storage), but I'm afraid how it will capture my kids and pics and videos are 90% indoors, so it needs to be good at that. Still happy with the 7? :)

[@nssxe4357]

Hello,can you show the settings to camera?

[@jan-rybar]

Hello, I do not you any special settings, most of the time just the very ordinary default Photo app... Best, Jan

good review, the best

Thank you! Jan

Friends, I have this phone but I have a big problem. I don't doubt your capabilities in video and photography. It happens that I work in the world of tennis and when taking photographs of stringing a racket or something like that it makes me choose to focus on the stringing or the frame, not both. How could I solve that?

[@OliverWolter]

Thank you Jan for your take on the 13T Pro. I was surprised how well the pictures looked like. Most of the other pictures I saw, but it might have been the 13 Pro (same camera but different engine, I´m sure), had a distinctive purple hue. But nor yours. On the other hand side, the video of the 13T pro is underwhelming. Colours looked blown out, and at one time you panned across a tree in fron of a church and the picture was all jitterish. But only at 13fps, that might be expected. Maybe the 13 Pro with 10bit Log might enhance the colours. The 60fps will prevent the jitter. What do you think?

[@jan-rybar]

Thanks for the comment! Well, it is really very hard for me to asses video, since I am not working with it during testing...Generally, I think it should not be dissappointing too much, but, yes, my iPhone 15 Pro does better job...

[@velimircuvrk1640]

Did you had any lens fogging? I heard that is real issue on this phone.

[@moonage75]

I have Xiaomi 13T pro over 1 month. I've been walking around with the camera on for 23 days now. Cameras do not fog up. It's minus 5 degrees outside.

Hi, well, I did not notice it, but I was testing just for a few weeks, so I cannot give you complete assurance...

[@KoTe_3a6aHeH]

Спасибо за видео!

[@jan-rybar]

Спасибо, не за что.

[@s1dew1nd3r4]

It looks decent - would you opt for this 13T over other mobile phones of the same pricepoint though? that sort of £500 price?

[@jan-rybar]

From mobile phones I was testing, Samsung A53/4/5 is quite reasonable option (I would guess It should cost something like 400 GBB or even less for the newest A55), or Samsung S24 (would cost more)... But 13T is really a good option - not the Pro, just the "ordinary" 13T... Jan

[@gusdrado4390]

Im planning to buy this phone, thank youuu

Thanks and good luck with photos! Jan

I just subscribed. if you have to choose 13T pro camera or Xiaomi 14 pro camera

Thanks! I'd like to help, but I did not test the 14 Pro yet...

hi, in portrait mode, you can zoom in? thanks

[@emilm3264]

Hello. Can you do a zoom comparation between 13T Pro and Mi 10T Pro? Thanks!

[@jan-rybar]

Hi and sorry, I am mostly able to test only one mobile in the given time...

[@emilm3264]

@@jan-rybar Hi! Ok.. :( appreciate your answer. Do you have any ideea what phone in a 700 euro budget would beat 10T Pro at zoom? I was surprised to see that inside a showroom, 13 and 13T Pro are less good than it. It looks like 13 and 13T Pro have a really low post processing capabilities compared to 10T pro and there is where they lose that, at least on MIUI. I'm curious if HyperOS would change that

[@catsaway1]

Hi , Great review i have the note 10 Pro and love the super macro mode i like taking close ups of insects and flowers . would you say this camera would be a good option for me as i need a new phone . Thanks 😊 W

[@jan-rybar]

Hi, I did not test macro in detail in this mobile photo, but franky, I do not think you can expert really amazing details from it... Sorry I cannot give you more precise answer... Jan

[@catsaway1]

@@jan-rybar thanks for your reply , does it have macro setting ?

[@m4dj]

It doesn't have the macro settings and it doesn't have a macro dedicated camera like redmi note 10 pro. Redmi note 10 pro is a really king of the macro photography. I own both phones. So about macro you can't compare this two phones. Also with a 2x optical zoom that 13t pro have... you can't get so close. About photography... Yep the gap here is noticeable and the 13t pro is a clear winner.

[@catsaway1]

@@m4dj so are you saying the 13tpro is as good as my note 10 pro for macro ?.

[@m4dj]

@@catsaway1 no. For macro there is no comparison as the 13f pro doesn't have macro camera. For macro the redmi note 10 is one of the best choice. For other photography, the 13 t pro wins...

Hi, i have 13t pro also but my photos are not great like yours. What is your settings? If you don't mind 😊

Hi, I did not use any special setting, just a normal photo mode. Sometimes I was experimenting with the AI mode, but it did not make any big difference, I believe... Best, Jan
