The Xiaomi 13T Pro, essentially the global version of China's Redmi K60 Ultra, offers a similar design but with notable differences. It boasts a 1.52-inch HD screen with 360 x 360 pixels and 550 nits brightness. This smartwatch supports Bluetooth calling and can save up to 10 contacts.
In terms of health and fitness tracking, the Xiaomi 13T Pro can monitor heart rate, SpO2 levels, and sleep patterns. It includes over 100 sports modes and has an IP67 water and dust resistance rating.
The device boasts a 10-day battery life on a single charge. Other features include notifications, camera control, music playback control, weather updates, alarms, countdowns, a stopwatch, and a "Find My Phone" function.
The Xiaomi 13T Pro features MediaTek's Dimensity 9200+ processor, which offers improved CPU and GPU performance compared to its predecessor, the 12T Pro. It also includes a substantial stainless steel vapor cooling plate for enhanced thermal management.
The 6.67-inch flat AMOLED display offers a 2,712 x 1,220 resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, a 480Hz touch sampling rate, and HDR10+ support. It is IP68-rated for dust and water resistance.
Notably, the phone includes a 5,000mAh battery with 120W "HyperCharge" support, allowing for rapid charging in just 19 minutes.
The Xiaomi 13T Pro starts at 799 euros for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model, with a top-tier variant offering 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Another variant, the Xiaomi 13T, starts at 649 euros and features a slightly lower processor, slower charging, and lacks 8K video recording.
Both models come in green or black with a glossy glass back or "Alpine Blue" with a soft "BioComfort vegan leather" back. Xiaomi promises four years of Android updates and five years of security patches, along with additional perks for European customers, such as free screen repair and out-of-warranty repairs without labor costs. These offerings reflect Xiaomi's commitment to the western market and its strategy to provide more affordable flagship options in a competitive market.
