Busy, complicated software

“The Xiaomi 13 Pro's Leica-tuned camera is an absolute winner, and the phone has the performance and battery life to match, with the only negative aspect being the busy and complicated software.”

Premium ceramic design, IP68 rating.

Slippery body lends a poor grip.

The Xiaomi 13 Pro is one of the easiest recommendations we've ever given despite its horrible grip experience (beauty has its price, obviously, but please, buy yourself a premium case). It delivers on every promise and every important aspect, and it is...

Dated design ; Curved display victim to accidental taps ; No headphone jack ; Some overheating concerns under strenuous use ; Why can’t this look like the Xiaomi 13!?

Inconsistent and sometimes buggy software ; Curved screens need to die ; Very expensive, especially when compared to the competition

Excellent build quality

You can put your lucky rabbit’s feet away and assuage your case of triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13) because the Xiaomi 13 Pro is anything but scary. Well, unless you’re competing against it.
