Mi 13 Ultra image configuration exposure: Equipped with a 1-inch variable aperture main camera, supporting equivalent 5X light change.

As first reported by IT House News on April 12, today Xiaomi announced that the latest imaging flagship mobile phone of Mi 13 Ultra will be released at 7:00 pm on April 18, known as “the second chapter of Xiaomi’s imaging strategy upgrade”.

A blogger exposed the image configuration of Mi 13 Ultra, which is equipped with Leica VARIO-SUMMICRON lens, 1-inch variable aperture main camera, and four-camera aperture covering f / 1.8-f / 3.0 at all focal lengths, 12mm-120mm , equivalent to 5X light change.

In addition, Lei Jun, founder of Xiaomi, posted on Weibo that Xiaomi 13 Ultra is not just a brand-new professional flagship mobile phone for humanistic imaging, but also the “second chapter” of Xiaomi’s imaging strategy upgrade, and the era of mobile imaging optics has begun.

Lei Jun said that optical problems should ultimately be solved with optics. It’s not that computational photography is bad, but computational photography alone is not enough. Without sufficient optical quality support, blindly relying on computational imaging is far from people’s real visual perception, making everyone more and more tired of the “plastic smell” of mobile phones. Returning to the origin of imaging, the engineers of Xiaomi and Leica have successfully brought Leica’s professional optical capabilities to the field of mobile imaging after a long period of hard work. On mobile imaging, the most perfect Leica Summicron lens will be presented to you so far.

The rendering of Mi 13 Ultra has been exposed before. The machine uses a centered perforated curved display, a rear disc four-camera, and a narrow frame.

The Mi 13 Ultra has a huge circular module camera on the rear, which is used to accommodate four camera sensors, including a telephoto sensor, and a dual LED flash. The body size of the phone is 163.2 x 74.6 x 9.57mm, and the total thickness of the camera bump is 15.61mm.

The Mi 13 Ultra phone is expected to feature a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED LTPO display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. It will also be equipped with Leica quad rear cameras, including a 50MP main camera (1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor), a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, two 50MP telephoto cameras, and a front-facing 32MP selfie camera.

The Mi 13 Ultra phone is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, and it is reported that the smartphone may have a 1TB storage option. It has a built-in 4900mAh battery, supports 90W fast charging, and is pre-installed to run the MIUI 14 system based on Android 13.

The Mi 13 Ultra mobile phone has passed the three certifications (IT Home Note: Radio Transmission Equipment Model Approval Certificate, Telecommunications Equipment Network Access License, China National Compulsory Product Certification), and is ready for sale.
