Xiaomi 13 Ultra Camera Kit Review

mmorpg.com:

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra has one of the best cameras of any smartphone. In our original review , we were surprised by its excellent image quality. A feat achieved in no small part thanks to its partnership with Leica to develop the optics and the massive 1-inch image sensor, trouncing every other camera phone on the market today. With the new Camera Kit, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra feels more like a camera than ever thanks to a transformative case, wireless shutter and zoom controls, and even a 67mm adapter ring to shoot in bright light. 

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra Camera Kit is a unique product. With all of its elements installed on your phone, the 13 Ultra feels far more like a point-and-shoot camera than an actual smartphone. It shifts the balance between phone and camera: it’s not a smartphone with a great camera, it’s a stellar camera that also happens to be a first-rate smartphone. 

The kit consists of a handful of parts. The first is a two-part protective case. The first is a traditional case that slides onto the camera body with a plastic frame and soft-touch exterior. The second is an ergonomic handle that’s much more pronounced and inspired by traditional camera grips. Both are trimmed in soft-touch leatherette to promote grip, though, with the handle installed, it’s easy to hold with one hand. 

The handle has a trick up its sleeve: it’s also a wireless shutter. The button is positioned above the grip, where you would expect to find the shutter release on a normal camera. Along the outside is a zoom control. Push it right to zoom in, left to zoom out. A half-press of the button focuses the camera and a full press takes the shot. Touching the screen isn’t necessary unless you’d like to access its advanced picture settings.
