The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is still a very recent smartphone. It therefore does not yet have promotional offers, but we will keep this article updated with possible future price drops.
The future Xiaomi 13 Ultra has recently been released. This smartphone, designed in partnership with the photography company Leica, promises very good performance in this segment. However, Xiaomi has clarified that quantities in Europe are limited, which is why it won’t be too long if you want to acquire the Xiaomi 13!
In terms of performance, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which is therefore the best currently for an Android smartphone. It can also count on no less than 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage space to manage your games, files and applications. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra also comes with a big 5000mAh battery with up to 90W charging capacity.
But what to watch out for about the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is its photography capabilities. Xiaomi’s phone relies on a partnership with Leica to deliver a premium experience. The Xiaomi 13 is notably equipped with four sensors including a main 50 Mpx, an ultra wide-angle and telephoto lenses. It will also be necessary to check the digital processing of the smartphone to check if the photo renderings can match its main competitors such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is available around 1499 euros with us. A very high price but which makes sense when compared to other high-end smartphones like the Honor Magic5 Pro or the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra benefits from all the company’s know-how in terms of smartphones, which explains why its price is centered around its high performance.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is available from Monday June 12 in Europe. The smartphone is only offered in a few stores with us (Fnac / Darty) as well as on certain online sales sites such as Rakuten. Xiaomi has already warned that its high-end smartphone will only be available in small quantities, which is why the firm does not expect to sell many stocks.
