The long-awaited Xiaomi 13T has officially arrived in Colombia and has established itself as one of the most prominent mobile phones on the market in the last quarter of 2023.
Reviving the collaboration with Leica and offering significant improvements over its predecessor, the Xiaomi 12T, this device promises to revolutionize the smartphone segment in Colombia.
Xiaomi’s T series has historically been known for delivering devices that have an outstanding balance between performance and price, falling below the competition in terms of cost and exceeding consumer expectations. In this sense, Xiaomi 13T continues this tradition with its arrival in Colombia.
On a general level, one of the most striking features of the Xiaomi 13T is its screen. Since it has a 6.67 inch AMOLED display and a large resolution of 1220 x 2712, This device offers a 144Hz refresh rate and a maximum brightness of 2,600 nits. This puts it among the smartphones with the brightest displays on the market.

In an unusual move, Xiaomi has chosen to use MediaTek’s powerful Dimensity 8200 Ultra chip instead of the usual Snapdragon chips. Manufactured with an advanced four-nanometer process, this chip delivers exceptional performance and efficiency in daily use, making it an ideal choice for mobile gaming enthusiasts.
(Also: cell phones you can buy for less than $800,000: some are high-end).
Another highlight is the partnership with Leica in the camera department. Although the device does not have the dazzling 200MP lens of its predecessor, This was replaced by a 50 MP main lens and a 50 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. These improvements promise a photography experience equal to or superior to the Xiaomi 12T.
One of the most applauded news was Xiaomi’s promise to provide four years of Android updates for the Xiaomi 13T. This includes the next version, Android 14, which is expected in late 2023 or early 2024 and builds up to Android 17, making it one of the first Xiaomi devices to offer this benefit.

Finally, the 5,000 mAh battery with 67W fast charging provides a full charge in just 42 minutes; While this isn’t the fastest on the market, it’s certainly impressive.
Xiaomi 13T, with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage configuration, It is offered for sale at a special introductory price of $2,999,900. Between 12 – 29 October.
