Xiaomi 13 Ultra is Finally Here with a 1-inch Sensor with Variable Aperture, Brightest AMOLED Display, Slew of Camera Accessories, and More
Xiaomi has finally unveiled the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, a camera monster that packs some of the best technology we have seen on a smartphone. Sure, it is just an upgraded version of the Xiaomi 13 Pro, but the upgrades that it does bring are good enough to make it an entirely separate phone, to begin with.
Let's not waste time and get right into it. Xiaomi 13 Ultra's biggest selling point is its 50-megapixel main camera, the phone uses the 1-inch Sony IMX98 sensor.

There is a duo of 50-megapixel telephoto lenses, one at 75mm (2.5x) telephoto and the other at 120mm (5x) telephoto zoom. Both these sensors have a maximum aperture of f/3.0, and of course, the phone features Leica optics for those who are looking for them.
However, cameras are not the only selling point here. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra also brings a 6.73-inch 120Hz QHD+ LTPO AMOLED display, as rumored before, the display can go as high as 2,600 nits,
