Xiaomi has finally introduced their two latest smartphones, Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro, in Berlin, Germany, on September 26, 2023.
Xiaomi Indonesia has also officially confirmed the release date of the Xiaomi 13T series in the Indonesian market. This information was directly conveyed by Xiaomi Indonesia through several social media channels.
Xiaomi has released only one variant, which is the Xiaomi 13T. So, what does this smartphone offer? Let's start with the most interesting aspect, the camera aspect.
Xiaomi 13T has officially become Xiaomi's first smartphone to carry the Leica branding in the Indonesian market. Xiaomi has finally brought features that were previously only available in its highest variants to a more affordable class.
This series might be Xiaomi's latest breakthrough, daring to launch a flagship-like phone above the price of Rp 5 million.
7 Facts About Xiaomi 13T as the Flagship Series
Here are a series of facts obtained from the Xiaomi 13T specifications, complete with an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses.
1. Design Similar to Redmi K60 Ultra
Xiaomi 13T adopts the premium smartphone rear design from the Xiaomi 13 series. Xiaomi 13T features a curved back cover on the right and left sides, making it more comfortable to hold.
Xiaomi 13T's design closely resembles Xiaomi devices released in the Chinese market, particularly the Xiaomi Redmi K60 Ultra.
There are two choices for the back cover material: a synthetic leather variant and a glass variant with a glossy finish that looks very luxurious.
2. Equipped with 4 Super Advanced Camera Modules
The camera module is square-shaped and large, with space for three cameras and a separate LED Flash, separated by sharp transition lines.
However, it's not just the Leica branding that has been introduced; Xiaomi has also made many improvements in terms of camera hardware.
Xiaomi 13T still uses a triple rear camera configuration. However, all of these cameras have significant purposes.
The phone features a 50MP primary camera that uses a high-end sensor, the Sony MX707. This camera is equipped with stabilization.
The second camera is a telephoto camera with a two-times optical zoom capability, and the third is an Ultra-Wide camera with a 12MP resolution.
As for the front camera, it has a 20MP resolution and can record 4K video at 30fps.
On the front side, Xiaomi 13T's screen features a "dor display" with a small hole in the middle at the top of the screen. The screen is of the AMOLED type, measuring 6.67 inches with a 1.5K resolution.
This screen has a refresh rate of 144Hz and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The fingerprint feature is also placed under the screen.
3. An Upgrade in the Chipset That Falls Short
Next, let's discuss the less attractive aspect of Xiaomi 13T, especially in terms of its processing power. Xiaomi 13T is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultra processor, which offers a performance improvement that is not too significant compared to the Dimensity 8100 Ultra in the previous generation, Xiaomi 12T.
However, this processor is still quite powerful for its price range. The good news is that Xiaomi 13T will receive a 4-year operating system update guarantee and a 5-year security update guarantee, which is certainly an appealing feature.
4. A Capable Battery
The performance of Xiaomi 13T is supported by a 5000mAh battery, complete with fast charging technology. Unfortunately, the fast-charging technology has a maximum power of only 67 watts, a decrease from the 120 watts in the previous Xiaomi 12T.
5. Certified Audio
In terms of additional features, Xiaomi 13T is equipped with dual stereo speakers, NFC, and an IR Blaster. What's special is that Xiaomi 13T is IP68 certified, which is the first for this series. However, it's unfortunate that a 3.5mm audio jack is not included.
6. Pro Variant Won't Be Widely Marketed
Unfortunately, the Xiaomi 13T Pro variant will not be available in Indonesia, as with the previous generation. Xiaomi 13T Pro offers some aspects that are more appealing than Xiaomi 13T.
Xiaomi 13 Pro still has a similar design, screen, and camera to Xiaomi 13T, but the significant difference lies in its processing power. Xiaomi 13T Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 912 processor, the latest from MediaTek, which is equivalent or even superior to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in some aspects.
This certainly affects performance, power efficiency, and camera capabilities. Additionally, Xiaomi 13T Pro's battery charging capability is twice as fast, with a maximum power of up to 120 watts, although its battery capacity remains at 5000mAh.
7. Price & Release Date
Xiaomi 13T was officially introduced in the Indonesian market on October 3, 2023. Unfortunately, there is no official information regarding the price range yet. However, for comparison, Xiaomi 13T in the neighboring Malaysian market is being sold starting from 1699 Ringgit, or approximately Rp 5.6 million, with certain bonuses.
The price of Xiaomi 13T Pro in the Malaysian market starts from 2399 Ringgit, or about Rp 9 million, with certain bonuses. Those are the facts about Xiaomi 13T that have been officially released in Berlin, Germany, on September 26, 2023.
