The Xiaomi 13T Pro is still a great phone in 2024


There’s a lot of choice if you’re interested in buying a Xiaomi phone in mid-2024; the Xiaomi 14 continues to be my recommendation if you need a smallish phone, and the 14 Ultra has one of the best overall camera packages you’ll find today. Then there are the value flagship offerings — the 13T Pro in particular is a standout choice.

While most manufacturers moved away from the idea of a mid-cycle refresh, Xiaomi’s T series devices are an integral part of its phone portfolio, and last year’s 13T series picked up a huge upgrade: Leica integration. Xiaomi needed a way to differentiate the 13T series against the POCO F5 and F5 Pro, and adding a few Leica effects and filters goes a long way in achieving that.

I used the 13T Pro when it launched, and I switched back to the device recently to see how it holds up against 2024 value flagships. I’m still not a fan of the design; the large rectangular camera island at the back with curving sides just doesn’t look cohesive, and it comes across as half-done. While the blue version of the phone has a faux leather back, the black model has a glass back with a glossy finish that’s just mundane.

The plastic sides don’t quite have the same feel as the likes of the Xiaomi 14, but they don’t have a glossy coat either, and that at least makes using the device a little easier. That said, I like the way the back curves to meet the mid-frame; even though the front of the phone has a flat panel, the curves at the back make a noticeable difference in usability.

Where the 13T Pro comes into its own is the screen; the 6.67-inch AMOLED panel has excellent colors and contrast levels, and it gets incredibly bright in daily use. The Xiaomi 14 managed to get a smidgen brighter in auto mode while outdoors, but the 13T Pro has absolutely no issues in this area, and like most Xiaomi phones, the stereo sound coming out of this thing is highly detailed, and loud.

Interestingly, Xiaomi went with a 144Hz refresh for the 13T series, and while I didn’t notice too much of a difference between 120Hz and 144Hz, the 13T Pro has a level of immediacy and fluidity that I didn’t notice outside the OnePlus 12. Of course, you’ll need to go into the settings to manually toggle the 144Hz mode.

In a similar vein, the Dimensity 9200+ continues to deliver outstanding performance. It delivers stable framerates in demanding games, and the best part is that there is no noticeable overheating. Although the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has better figures in synthetic testing, it tends to get hotter as well, so if you want a gaming-focused phone that manages thermals, this is still a great option.
