Among its many impressive specs are Dolby Vision® and end-to-end HDR10+ support, 68 billion colors, 100% DCI-P3 coverage9, and a peak brightness of up to 2600nits on display. This restores the original texture of the image’s more minute details and maintains a healthy level of color saturation overall. In addition to enhancing the viewing experience on the Xiaomi 13T, the device’s CrystalRes Display makes it possible for anyone to create and edit high-quality video wherever they may be. The Xiaomi 13 T’s built-in dual speakers support Dolby Atoms®, creating a cinematic experience that’s really immersive.

    Users may enjoy a more even, immersive, and engaging viewing experience with HDR material when the Pro HDR Display feature is activated in the Xiaomi Gallery app and the CrystalRes Display’s brightness is increased by as much as five times.

    Users are protected from dust and water split.

    The Xiaomi 13T comes in three beautiful color (Alpine Blue, Meadow Green, and Black) and features an iconic design. The Alpine Blue variant’s rear panel is crafted with premium-feeling, ultra-smooth Xiaomi BioComfort vegan leather. Both the Meadow Green and Black Xiaomi 13T have a glossy glass back panel that feels luxurious to the touch and is durable enough for daily use. Users can be certain that their Xiaomi 13T will be safe from water damage due to its IP68 classification; any spilt drink can simply be wiped off the device.

    The Xiaomi 13T Series will have five years of security patches and four generations of Android OS upgrades.
