Xiaomi 13 Ultra was born to be the king of mobile photography.

Starting with the camera capabilities, which is the focus of this phone.

The four cameras on the back are made in collaboration with Leica and are housed under a unified glass dome that Xiaomi calls the Leica Vario-Summicron 1:1.8-3.0/12-120 ASPH lens.

The main camera uses a 50MP 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor and a 23mm optically stabilized lens with a two-step physical aperture that allows for f/1.9 for uniform depth of field and f/4.0 for sharper images.

The sensor contains 1.6µm pixels, which can combine 4 pixels into 1 to create 12.5MP images with large individual pixels of 3.2µm.

The remaining three cameras all use the new Sony IMX858 sensor with a resolution of 50 MP with a size of 1 / 2.51 inches, quite impressive.

They include a 3.2x mid-range camera with a 75mm f / 1.8 OIS lens, a 5x 120mm camera with a brighter f / 3.0 lens, and a 12mm f / 1.8 ultra-wide camera with 5cm macro focusing.

Using in-sensor zoom technology, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra also offers 2x 46mm and 10x 240mm mode options.

For the front camera, the product comes with a 32 MP f/2.0 sensor with fixed focal length and supports 4-pixel binning for 8 MP photos.

The innovation doesn’t end on the physical side as Xiaomi and Leica have given the Xiaomi 13 Ultra some impressive features.

First of all, like other Leica-branded Xiaomi cameras, there are two camera color science modes – Leica Vibrant and Leica Authentic. There’s also a new 50MP UltraRAW mode for the main camera that shoots 14-bit DNG images with built-in multi-frame sharpening, noise reduction, and dynamic range adjustment for further fine-tuning. Adobe will provide custom camera profiles for Lightroom.

Users are also equipped with a feature designed specifically for street photographers called Fast Shot mode that allows to shorten the focusing time when taking photos by setting a predetermined focusing distance. Fast Shot will then take the photo in just 0.8 seconds.
