nearly a year later，Xiaomi once again launched its own video flagship - Mi 13 Ultra 。official title，Will open the "moving imaging optical era"，This also means that the video is still the main event this time.，Let's take a look at the Mi 13 Ultra review 。
these two years，Xiaomi's road to high-end is quite bumpy，After the stunning debut of the original MIX，It seems to give people a sense of sight。From the beginning of its birth, Xiaomi has opened up the market with "cost-effective"，Want to break free from the quagmire of low prices，Often requires more effort than other mid-to-high-end phones。The "high-end works" over the years have almost all ended in dismal market sales。
However, since the alliance between Xiaomi and Leica last year,，The launch of the first model in cooperation with Leica, Mi 12S Ultra, has made Xiaomi's "high-end" road a step closer。One-inch IMX989 main camera、4800Megapixel periscope super telephoto、Coupled with the German-style Leica tone... Whether it is from the 98% favorable rate of Mi 12S Ultra or the discontinuation of production, the price has not been lowered to backstab users，It means that Xiaomi is going in the right direction.。
The appearance has inheritance and innovation
Although the image is the focus，But let's take a look at the appearance。Because the moment you get it，The visual impact of the huge lens module of Mi 13 Ultra can be called "the best in history"。
First of all, the biggest difference from Mi 12S Ultra is Mi 13 Ultra Abandoned camera lens-like design，Four lenses arranged symmetrically。At the same time, the square back panel under the round lens module has also been cancelled.。
The advantage of this is that the design of the back of the fuselage is more concise，Second, the fuselage is more integrated。At the same time, in the measurement size that is almost the same as that of Mi 12S Ultra，There will also be a reduction in weight，Compared with the weight of the previous generation 225g，The 227g of Mi 13 Ultra is basically the same。
After all, four lenses are stuffed into the phone, and a CMOS with the size of an inch，There are also three "IMX858" which are also not small。The size of the body does not change，with reduced weight，Harmoniously stuffed four cameras，The science of Xiaomi's internal stacking design is still quite good。The only downside is that the CMOS is too bulky，The lens module has to protrude，But fortunately, Mi 13 Ultra has a streamlined design on the lens module to make up for it.。
This is also the approach that most manufacturers will choose，The advantage is that it is not too obtrusive visually。Another big change is that Mi 13 Ultra uses a new Unibody metal frame。
The metal frame on both sides of the fuselage will extend to the back of the fuselage，if you shoot horizontally，Such a mechanism has the same effect as the Leica M camera。The advantage of this design is that it can use 20% more aluminum materials，The bending strength is 4.4 times that of the previous generation，Provide a solid foundation for the structure of the whole machine。Second, the plane around the fuselage is more coherent，sharp lines，but not heavy，Combined with the plain leather material used on the back of the fuselage, the grip is more stable。
It is worth mentioning that，The plain leather on Mi 13 Ultra has been upgraded to the second-generation technology nano-skin material，Its performance and feel surpass even the leather found on most cameras。The surface texture of plain leather is more uniform，more refined touch、exquisite，hold down，Needless to say。Although plain leather is used，But IP68 dustproof and waterproof is still preserved，Capable of shooting even in difficult environments。
detail design，Metal middle frame of the same color as the body，the bottom is the speaker、SIM card slot and other openings，There are also speaker openings on the top，There is also an infrared sensor。
back to front，Mi 13 Ultra is equipped with a 6.7-inch OLED domestic screen jointly developed by Xiaomi and China Star Optoelectronics.。This is also rare in the industry to use domestic screens on Ultra-level products because of the "excellent performance" of domestic screens.。
this screen，Resolution rate is 2K ，522ppi，Color depth 12bit，Support 120HZ LTPO adaptive refresh rate，Full screen brightness up to 1300nit，The highest brightness can reach 2600nit。At the same time, the CPL layer on the surface of the screen，Improved this time，Optimized the color cast at large angles，The viewing angle surpasses the Samsung E6 screen，It is more obvious when watching videos in landscape。on eye protection，This domestic screen is also very good，1920Hz PWM dimming，Harmful blue light can be reduced by 50% compared with Samsung E6 screen。
In order to meet the more professional needs of creators，This time Mi 13 Ultra brings a new professional mode "Professional Primary Color"。It can provide more accurate color rendering and solve the problem of color inconsistency under different displays，Easier for photographers and designers to work。
In general，This screen is also full，almost impossible to find fault with。Anyway, in terms of design，whether you agree or not，Mi 13 Ultra has indeed achieved the so-called "differentiation" in the design of high-end flagship phones，I believe that as long as you take a look at Mi 13 Ultra，"I can never forget its face again"。
"Outsole + Leica" Take professional photos easily
This time the image is the top priority of Mi 13 Ultra。Compared with the one-inch outsole IMX 989+48MP IMX 586 super wide-angle + 48MP IMX 586 periscope telephoto combination on Mi 12S Ultra。Mi 13 Ultra is upgraded to a one-inch outsole IMX 989 + 50-megapixel IMX 858 ultra-wide-angle + 50-megapixel IMX 858 3.2X telephoto + 50 million pixel IMX 858 5X periscope telephoto。
Four lenses cover the 12-120mm focal length，If you add the middle setting virtual focal length mode，Equivalent to having six focal lengths at the same time，Unleash a great deal of creative freedom。It is worth mentioning that the IMX858 sensor，This is currently the only Sony sensor that can match the IMX989 in terms of features。
at the same time，All four lenses use aspherical lenses，Greatly releases the freedom of optical path design，in a very limited volume，Achieve higher image quality performance。on the software，By automating the debugging process，It can make the automatic light metering and automatic white balance of the four cameras almost consistent。It is worth mentioning that this time Mi 13 Ultra uses a brand new zoom dial，when switching shots，Can do smooth camera switching animation。
no exaggeration，single out，Every lens can be the main camera。The secondary camera has been significantly upgraded，The main camera has added the variable aperture function that Mi Fanxin thought while maintaining the one-inch outsole。The addition of variable aperture gives the main camera with excellent quality，Provides more shooting scenes。
This is also the first time that Xiaomi is equipped with a physical aperture structure，The main aperture value can be switched between f/1.9 and f/4.0，Adjust exposure by 2EV。Cooperate with "Xiaomi Imaging Brain" to automatically set the aperture value according to the scene，Of course, you can also manually adjust in professional mode。
The following samples are all compressed，Click on the picture to view the original picture。
The hardware is "invincible"，The image tuning is also optimized and upgraded again。This time Mi 13 Ultra brings the second generation of Leica color optics。In addition to the four Leica filters such as "Leica Classic" and "Leica Vivid"，This time, two new filters, "Leica Bleached Brown" and "Leica Monochrome Blue" have been added.。besides，You can also customize the photography style，Screen preferences can be preset in advance，No longer limited to Leica tone。it's not over yet，This time Mi 13 Ultra also brought a new "street shooting mode"。Double-click the volume down button to start the camera within 0.8s，quick snap。
Just talking but not practicing fake moves，Finished chatting about the theoretical performance of Mi 13 Ultra，What will the actual performance be like?
The first is the experience of the main camera，The hardware advantage brought by the outsole is quite obvious，better signal-to-noise ratio、higher dynamic range、Super photosensitivity。in daytime scene，Mi 13 Ultra can accurately restore colors，Highlight suppression is also excellent。
In the night scene environment，The screen is cleaner and more transparent，Whether it is the suppression of lights on the road or the clarity of the edges of tall buildings, it is excellent.，The most important thing is that the production rate is quite high。
Next, let’s talk about this 50-megapixel periscope telephoto，Compared with the periscope telephoto of Mi 12S Ultra，13 Ultra's telephoto performance is also unexpectedly good。
in good light，Excellent sharpness and resolution performance，Even with 5X、10X's light-changing proofs are partially re-enlarged，Details are still sharp and clear，very good。Especially in backlit shooting scenes，Accurately reproduced the beautiful scenery seen by the naked eye at that time，excellent performance。
The ultra-wide-angle performance is also at the level of the first echelon，we all know，Ultra-wide-angle will inevitably appear lens distortion。But you will find that Mi 13 Ultra does not have the option of "distortion correction"，The reason is that Xiaomi redesigned the optical path of the lens，No software required for processing。
From the proofs, we can also see that Mi 13 Ultra can still see a little distortion in the ultra-wide-angle performance，But purely relying on optical quality to achieve such a performance is also very good.。
Finally, this 3.2X telephoto lens，compared to the other three lenses，This 75mm focal length lens is more suitable for portraits。1times too close，The scenery behind me can't be photographed，5times too far，People are not prominent enough，if digital zoom，It is far less clear than the optical lens。And 3.2 times I think is just right，Taking portraits has a natural compositional advantage，A photo is a beautiful photo。
It can be seen from the sample，When shooting close-ups of people，Face shape will look better，At the same time, it can also get a good blur effect at this focal length.，Whether it's a character's hair，Or clothing can be accurately identified。
In addition to the advantages of this lens on portraits，The performance of the scene is also remarkable，For novice users，This 3.2X lens can be said to be the most practical lens，No need to think too much about composition，Films can be released anytime, anywhere。
In general，Mi 13 Ultra's image stacking has reached a new level，In particular, the progress of the three IMX 858 lenses except for the 1.5-inch outsole of the main camera is very obvious.，already highly available。Additional custom photography styles、street mode、Functions such as variable aperture also make the gameplay of Mi 13 Ultra no longer poor，There are almost no shortcomings in the image。
Photography suits unlock more video games
Except Mi 13 Ultra，This time Xiaomi also released a "Professional Photography Kit"。Set includes dedicated protective case、camera handle、lens cap，And 67mm filter adapter ring。It is worth noting that，The interior of the phone case is made of plush material，Wearing will not scratch the phone body，The exterior is also leather。
There is no need to introduce too many pictures here，because 10 years ago，Similar products have been launched by Sony mobile phones and Nokia mobile phones，I believe everyone should have seen，All here is simply described in words。
The camera handle does not use the C port to connect to the phone like the cooling back clips on the market，Instead, use a bluetooth connection，it took a few days，Not yet drained，The battery life is quite long。There is a C port on the side of the handle for charging。After successful connection，Mi 13 Ultra can shoot like a camera，Full sense of ceremony。Virtually press the shooting button to lock the focus，In fact, it is to take pictures，in addition，The photography kit can also be used with the "street shooting mode" to achieve quick capture。
In addition to the above shooting posture，You can also unlock a new way to play。Because it's a bluetooth connection，So the camera handle can be several meters away from Mi 13 Ultra，So we can put the Mi 13 Ultra on the stand，when taking pictures with friends，The handle can be held in the hand to confirm the shooting。
Another way to play is this filter adapter ring，You can bring the polarizer in the box、The uv mirror imitates the camera to change the lens to improve the imaging quality。It is worth mentioning that as long as it is 67mm, it can be installed，which means，You can go to a treasure to buy your favorite filters by yourself。
After turning the lens to adjust, it turns out that this suit is not a gimmick，From the proofs, it can be seen that the buildings against the ground become clearly visible，Further improved the imaging capabilities of Mi 13 Ultra。
At the same time we tested another diffuser。
From the proofs，It can make the captured image moderately loose，Produces an artistic effect with both clear connotation and looseness，still looks obvious。
anyhow，Photography suits are more practical than gimmicks，For novice players，Probably the easiest way to improve imaging。
Not limited to images，Performance is equally good
Although the image is the focus of the Mi 13 Ultra upgrade，However, it should not be underestimated in terms of performance stacking.。The first is the golden combination of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2+LPDDR5X+UFS4.0 that the old talk about，This is the highest configuration currently available。the most important is，Xiaomi finally upgraded the ancestral USB2.0 to USB3.1 on 13 Ultra。In addition, you can choose up to 16GB of running memory and up to 1T of storage，The machine we got is a combination of 16+512GB。
Passed the AnTuTu running score test on Mi 13 Ultra，At room temperature of 24°C and in equilibrium mode，AnTuTu's running score reached 1.26 million points。
We also tested three mainstream games。
The first is "Original God"，in full HD，Run for 30 minutes to Sumeru City，The measured average frame rate of the game is 60 frames，Fluctuation is only 0.4 frames，almost a straight line。
Power consumption is also well controlled，Half an hour average power consumption is 4.68W。
Followed by "Glory of the King"，in the game，The picture quality is pulled to the highest，Turn on 120 frame mode，The average frame rate of Mi 13 Ultra is 119.9FPS，smooth gameplay，There is no lag。
Finally, the shooting game "Peace Elite" that compares the frame rate。The image quality in the game is adjusted to smooth 90 frame mode，After playing a game，The average frame rate is 89.8FPS，Also achieved full frame operation。
Although it is Taiwan's video flagship，But still full frame game，In fact, it is because the Mi 13 Ultra has the ring cooling pump heat dissipation technology this time.。Precisely designed "multi-layer water control unidirectional structure"，Form an independent channel for "vapor-liquid separation" to form a more efficient circulation method，evaporate the heat，Can achieve three times the heat dissipation capacity of VC within 0.35mm。
In general，Mi 13 Ultra has reached the mainstream flagship level in terms of performance output and heat dissipation。in addition，In terms of battery life，Mi 13 Ultra upgraded to 90W wired fast charging，50W wireless fast charging and 10W wireless reverse charging，Can achieve longer battery life。
Finally to sum up，Since Mi 12S Ultra, the first work in cooperation with Leica last year,，There is a clear style for Xiaomi，No longer just study and pile up materials。This year's newly upgraded Mi 13 Ultra can be said to be a masterpiece of Xiaomi's imaging，Continuing the omnipotence of Xiaomi's "Ultra" product line，on hardware、Flagship phones that are hard to fault in terms of experience。
Whether you admit it or not，The "tone" emphasized by Xiaomi，Now it has become the mainstream new direction of this year's video flagships。Crazy pressure highlights in the past、Vigorously brighten，less popular。The biggest change brought to me is that Xiaomi has changed from the previous catcher，Has begun to become the industry leader。
If last year's 12S Ultra is still an attempt，So this year's Mi 13 Ultra already has its own color style and tone。The high end that Xiaomi has always expected，might really come true，give everything，The next step is to look at the market's feedback.。
