The only way to shoot at full resolution is to use the 50MP mode, which will naturally capture less light, but may turn out to be the best option when you want to work on certain shots in post.
The wide camera uses pixel binning to shoot at 12.5-megapixels in Photo mode, capturing light with the same large 1.6µm. The 12S Ultra showed what was possible with the IMX989 sensor, only Xiaomi and Leica suggest they’ve learned to do more with the software, so that’s where we can expect the biggest change. It’s a 23mm equivalent with f/1.9 aperture, optical image stabilization, dual pixel and laser autofocus. Triple 50-megapixel sensors make up the rear camera array, with the wide camera’s Type 1 sensor as the anchor featuring a Leica Vario-Summicron lens. As expected, there’s no memory card slot, though the dual SIM tray returns if you’re looking to go with two cards at once time. My review unit was the 256GB/12GB model, which also makes it compatible with UFS 4.0 fast storage (it’s UFS 3.1 for the 128GB/8GB model). The 13 Pro runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with variants starting at 128GB storage and 8GB of RAM. Not to mention the IP68 protection, which is notable because the 12 Pro never had that official designation. Mind you, the curved edges are less pronounced than they otherwise would’ve been years ago, and Xiaomi wisely reduced the curve in the rear for a more ergonomic finish. It’s a bit heavier than an average phone this size, and the silicone case plays a key role for stability when holding it to take photos.
The 6.7-inch AMOLED (3200 x 1440) screen is essentially the same as that of the 12S Ultra, including the 120Hz refresh rate, curved edges, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Thankfully, Xiaomi includes a thin silicone case for at least some protection. The glossy finish on the ceramic back looks nice, but it can pick up fingerprints and smudges. It results in a pronounced bump but not obtrusively so, and the Leica branding is etched into it to make the collaboration clear.
