Spec comparison between Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 pro

Specification: https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone...&idPhone2=11962

Price: Both the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro will start shipping in China on 14 December with a starting price of CNY3999 (~RM2530) for the 13’s 8GB+128GB model and CNY4999(~RM3160) for the highest configuration. As for the 13 Pro, it has a base price tag of CNY4999 (~RM3,160) and tops out at CNY6299 (~RM3990) for the 12GB+512GB variant.

Someone is selling Xiaomi 13 and pro on shopee now,

Xiaomi 13 - Rm3099 onwards
Xiaomi 13 pro - Rm3799 onwards

China sets of course for now.

Waiting for the ultra.

Someone in YouTube compared Xiaomi 13 pro camera quality with Xiaomi 12s Ultra, and according to him Xiaomi 13 pro is better than 12s ultra in camera.

( Review in Mandarin )

Yeah. Things just get better and better.
Not to mention it's gonna come with more cameras.

Can't imagine the pricing of that.

Tim Cook admits that iPhones use Sony camera sensors

https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/13/2350697...or-confirmation

So Xiaomi which uses the Sony camera sensor should be comparable with iPhone ?

maybe my next phone after mi8 if price not more rm3k . mi 12 good but doesnt have zoom and i dont like curve screen .

xiaomi 13 no gorilla glass..is it a deal breaker?

i think got la.

Dont know...i read from the gsmarena link

Hmmm you have asked a sharp question, I search the net and found conflicting results, some yes some no .....

The pro definitely yes, the non pro .....

Yes i am referring to non pro version

To be honest for still photos. All flagship camera are top notch. It all comes down to user preference. So yes Mi flagship camera still photos was already comparable to apple, samsung and pixel even before this. If you see people do blind picture test, apple usually don't win.

Apple advantage is in video shooting.

By right should have victus, even xiaomi 12 non pro also got victus. As what I remember, intially GSMArena written got victus for xiaomi 13 non pro but just now I checking the website again seem like they change description.

Regular xiaomi 13 uses GG5, downgrade!

Ya true, it's a downgrade compared to predecessor while the price getting higher. Nowadays thing getting more and more expensive, sooner or later android flagship will sell at the same price as fruit.

To be fair still at least got GG5. Compare to the another 8 gen 2 competitor, iqoo 11 did not even come with any protection. Just that it come with faster charging, bigger and better screen but the mi 13 got ip rating.

Lol look forward for more 8 gen 2 coming then only can see which offering is better

Spec for price seem not bad, at least cheaper than both mi13 and iqoo 11. Just the downside is their slow update despite claim as near stock ROM

As well as forever no improvement on camera for taking photo and video. Those in global and china forum still make noise of the same thing apparently.

Spec and price indeed look good but this 1 I think can just kiv. No vowifi for most of their device still. Quite a let down for a flagship, really have to see whether will get better or not with this new device.

Lol lately someone asking when their edge 30 ultra will get a13 and guess what their agent in global forum said. They said the device with a13 will be launched somewhere early next year, after that then only a13 will be roll out 😅

But still mi just slightly better, mine still in November patch android 12. A13 so far info is will be roll out in January next year but those like vivo, OnePlus, Samsung already on a13 but still mi are waiting for it.... 🥲

In Malaysia, moto only good at price, their mid range and low range was awesome value for money. If want to get flagship based on track record better go for other brand. Their after sales service and support was down the drain 😂

disagree. even for flagship range there is difference especially night time photography. Try flagships like vivo x80, x80 pro, oppo find x5 pro. Their additional imaging sensor really make hell lot of difference in dark situations. It's day time photography which you would not spot much of a difference except for the color tone.

However that being said with 1 inch sensor on xiaomi 13 pro.. I'm pretty sure it will be able to take clean images even night time. Hell i'm buying it as soon as it's out.
https://www.phonearena.com/news/xiaomi-13-p...atures_id144212

Those sample images are just too promising

Any news when this phone coming to msia?

Not so fast apparently
Global eta: at least February 2023

Aiyo by february then s23 launch..then want buy s23 pulak

How much s23 will be ? Would still be more expensive than Xiaomi 13/13 pro right ?

Lol it's possible but still have to look at the price & offering first to decide. If budget is not an issue probably ppl will go for sams.

Sams software update policy & speed is better than xiaomi. As well as easier to get accessories Just that the tradeoff is much more expensive pricing and more bloatware.

Wondering how much is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip cost ?

Shopee already got CN set. Anyone buy yet ?

CN set missing some bands for 4g and 5g support. Beware!

All models or just Xiaomi? Fastech Lim now selling the Mi13 8/128 for RM 2828. Mi13 pro 12/256 for RM 4040

Xiaomi 13 CN (missing LTE B7, B20, B28)



Xiaomi 13 Pro CN (missing B20, B28)



missing B28 = no malaysian 5g for you

Wow. Luckily didn't buy yet.

Xiaomi 13 cn unacceptable in local market with lack of 4g band B7, not only lack of support for 5g but it will affect the reception of 4g as well.

All local major telco(Maxis,Digi,Celcom,U-mobile) support LTE band B1,B3 & B7.

actually previous xiaomi / redmi CN models especially some budget models also lack B7 support but still with B1,B3,B8 can also use CDMU LTE networks but will have lower speed (because B7 2600 has higher theoretical max speed)

Is this behaviour tied to phone set or it is tied to ROM ?

Eg could it be that a phone from cn when later flashed with international ROM, the problem will be fixed ?

Is tie to hardware. No way to unlock via software

I think is because licensing cost bah, and also help prevent it to be smuggle out of China before global set is out

Can't wait for Malaysia set to start selling. Can go for test drive.

If there is locking then there is unlocking.

For example :-

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-l...3084774/page-14

I think it is a matter of time some tech guy will reveal the right way to accomplished this. But will likely have to wait some time, since things are very new right now.

Well that's only true if the spec on band supported listed on paper is incorrect. If what stated in the hardware spec on paper is true, then there is no way to unlock/get more band support simply through software mean.

If hardware didn't support then there is no way for software to do the job. For eg if the phone is designed with hardware that support till wifi 5 only then there is no way for it to support wifi 6 via software mean. Upward compatibility is not possible, only downward compatibility is possible. Like wifi 6 supporting

Interesting information

According to this review, these two phones Xiaomi 13 pro and Vivo X90 pro plus are very similar in camera quality.

because they share the same 1 inch type sensor. the difference mainly in UW/tele lens and image processing only

Vivo X90 pro plus is also China only right now.

This guy he bought it from China and then he used it in his country ( from the accent it seems to be UK ), and he managed to get 5G working via Vivo firmware updates.

Any sd8 gen2 phone that's flat screen? Why the heck flagship all curve screen knn.

normal s23/plus, Xiaomi 13, red magic 8 pro, iqoo 10, redmi k60 pro, all flat screen

IQOO11

Let me study Abit, is the screen big?

for s23 and Xiaomi 13 should be belong to small size, other are huge thing

s23 & xiaomi 13 considered compact flagship. Size wise basically s23 is similar to previous gen s22 while xiaomi 13 is to xiaomi 12. Just drop by any shopping mall and have a feel if you want.

Otherwise just wait, both model confirm a lot of display unit everywhere shortly after it launched.

Been rocking these 3 phones for the last few weeks

Someone say Xiaomi 13 CN will have poor 4g and 5g in Malaysia due to bandwidth limitation?

Likely Xiaomi has blocked certain channels from being available in Malaysia. They are enforcing the lisensing requirements, since they are not launched in Malaysia.

Yup. I only get 4g+ on digi, 4g on yes 😅
But then, I don't have 5g enabled on my digi sim card.

As long as the speed is fast.
Why don't wait for global set? Global set won't have this problem right.

Hehe.. I wanted to get my hands on it mar hehe

What nonsense is that? If it works, it works. My mi11 ultra CN on 5G gets over 900MBPS on speedtest on unifi mobile.

I know fastech selling price less than rm 3k for 256 13CN. But I prefer to spend on Motorola X40 CN.

Now Xiaomi pun harga bangsawan dah.. haih...

Can ask him to explain more.

Unifi Mobile and yes is special, can use tdd lte (b38/b40) which china set must support because one of china carriers use the same tdd network and bands

For CN set that missing band 7 support, maybe will lose some speed. Although i believe for most areas the lte reception will be largely unaffected for CDMU (FDD lte carriers) users

Missing b28 will means will miss the 5g network support, but this might change in the future when DNB implement standalone 5g network


If you still want to get cn set then go ahead, no one stopping you anyway

This applies to all CN models or just Xiaomi?

Usually is just xiaomi and maybe budget oriented brands and on model to model basis


Oppo/oneplus, vivo/iqoo are not as restrictive as xiaomi because they don't have much cost / licensing concerns

Which phone model you use that have leica tech?

Now both xiaomi 13 and 13 pro have Leica branding.

Xiaomi 13 😁

when xiaomi launching globally? no news..

For night shot,/milkyway/moon photoshoot, will there be obvious diff between non pro & pro?

I don't do milky-way and moon shot oh 😂

Your next youtube content haha , i been looking some youtuber do milkyway, star trail & moon shot using p40 pro

I curious, Xiaomi cn got delay in notification or not? Most cn set have this problem last time.

Surprisingly ok after few days used. As long as u update Google play services and set app to no restrictions on battery saver for the apps

This post has been edited by marcyeo: Feb 4 2023, 08:28 PM

For Huawei, you can do whatever settings. It still won't work.

The lighthouse method cannot?

Not the Google issue but the delay in notification. Need to open the app only the message notification comes in. Mate 30 pro cn set.

I see. Mainly because of Google play services not able to be installed I think

Does anyone use a Xiaomi 13 with Digi postpaid 60 or above plan and confirm if 5G network is working?

As per Digi, 5G can only be enabled for plans 60, 90, 120 and 150.

Wait until 26 February if you still curious lol

And plan 60 can now 5g? Just weeks ago only 90 and above can

Oops. Just plan 90 and above. My bad.
Ok.. just a few more weeks to go ✌️

Finally its here.

Malaysia Set All Come with 2-Year Warranty

Xiaomi 13 12GB+256GB RM3,499
Xiaomi 13 Pro 12GB+256GB RM4,599
Xiaomi 13 Pro 12GB+512GB RM4,999

Pre-order get free gifts until 7 March



512GB currently only offered via Pre-order through package deal RM5,999

https://www.gizmochina.com/2023/02/26/magic...outube-premium/

Retail buyers in Malaysia also get 6 months free Google One subscription in Malaysia, which brings Google Pixel Magic Eraser to Xiaomi 13 series.

I think Free TV is very limited.



This will be the Pre Order deal once TV fully redeemed.

No wonder china version cut support for some global bands

Who give Xiaomi global courageous for price so high like samseng?

Hmmm 5kkkkkkk

Expensive, unless gotten the free tv. Seem like Samsung s23 ultra offering is not bad in comparison. Only xiaomi 13 seem ok, I think better go for s23 ultra if got budget for 13 pro.

the 58 inch tv is around rm 1.8k. but if just want the phone, either wait half year or ap set 8gb + 256gb at around rm 3.6k

Xiaomi 13 12GB+256GB RM3,499
OnePlus 11 16GB+256GB RM3,599

Standard Xiaomi 13 priced aggressively this year, with free TV for pre-order as well but a shame Xiaomi 13 Pro priced too high

Quoted from Soyacincau.

Those of you who pre-order the Xiaomi 13 on their official store on Lazada and Shopee will be able to redeem a RM699 voucher for it, while the Xiaomi 13 Pro will come with a RM799 voucher instead. However, if you pre-order the Xiaomi 13 from a Xiaomi Store, you’ll be able to get a free Xiaomi TV P1 43″ worth RM1,799. Similarly, if you pre-order the 256GB Xiaomi 13 Pro, you stand to snag a free Xiaomi TV A2 58″ worth RM2,799

Means Free TV only available if Pre order from Physical Xiaomi Store?

Shopee/Lazada only have free voucher

This post has been edited by skyp: Feb 27 2023, 03:54 PM

the free voucher 699 and 799 are only for their ecosystem items.

Yes, pretty useless if you do not need any Xiaomi item.
Means cant use to deduct the phone price.

Now just want to know how the free TV works

Umm same pattern as samseng preorder then..

Don't preorder. Wait price drop after months as protest

i needed the tv.. so..

Attached thumbnail(s)

try luck to see if I get 58" TV.
Seems ordered successful, unless they cancel it later on

Looks like this round of Free TV can obtained easily.
Still available at of now.
I guess they want to clear TV for new version?

I have the Xiaomi 12 and thinking of getting the Xiaomi 13 Pro, but with prices like that (and even with the freebies on offer), I wait for end of year deals before upgrading.

Scirwode

TV is limited and stand a chance.. doesnt mean it guarantee offer to everyone.. first come first basis

I think those that managed to placed order via their website will entitle the free TV.
There is a list of Xiaomi retail store for us to choose as our pickup, once sold out, the store will be greyed out.

If they dont have enough stock, should cancel our order instead of ask us take another pre-order deal.

Same here, ordered xiaomi 13 pro.
if no free tv, i wont order malaysia set lol
