The recently released Xiaomi 13 Pro smartphone has generated buzz for its large main camera sensor, which is larger than those found on other popular phones such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and Google Pixel 7 Pro. However, since its release, users have been using and sharing photos more from one of the phone’s other cameras rather than the main camera with the large sensor.
A telephoto camera with the ability to focus on close-up shots has caused a stir in the photography world.
Mind Blowing!

The Xiaomi 13 Pro features a triple camera system that includes main, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses. The telephoto camera has a 3.2x zoom range and has the unique ability to focus on objects at extremely close distances. This is a feature that has not been seen on a zoom camera before. While the telephoto camera’s close focusing ability is impressive, the rest of its capabilities are relatively unremarkable compared to other long-range periscope zoom cameras on the market, such as those found on the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
People on the Chinese microblog Weibo have been excited about the new camera on the Xiaomi 13 Pro, and the images they have shared demonstrate the high quality of the photos it can take. The bokeh, or blur in the background, is especially impressive and resembles that of a professional camera with a specialized lens. The ability to zoom in close allows for a wide range of photography opportunities, such as close-up shots of pets and insects. This focus is made possible by a floating element in the lens that moves as the focus is adjusted, unlike traditional cameras that use a fixed lens and cannot achieve such close focus. There are many more photos taken with the Xiaomi 13 Pro available to view on the Weibo microblog.
Xiaomi 13 Pro Telephoto Camera in Low-light
The Xiaomi 13 Pro has a 3.2X zoom range that allows for larger apertures, which let in more light and allows for better low light and night time photography. The camera also has a partnership with Leica and uses the Vario-Summicron lens, which combines a zoom feature with high quality optics. The Xiaomi 13 series has switched to this lens from the 5X zoom periscope lens used in the 12S Ultra. The 3.2X zoom range is more versatile and useful for portrait shots.

In addition to taking close-up photos, you can also use this focusing technique when recording video. Here is an example of what super close-up video looks like:
It’s impressive how much detail and vibrant color can be captured with this lens, and the overall cinematic appearance it can give to a shot.

The phone has four models with different colors: black, white, green, and blue. The green and white models are made of ceramic, which is more durable and resistant to scratches than glass. The blue model is covered in a synthetic leather material that has a special nano-coating that repels dirt. In a demonstration, the blue model was sprayed with graffiti and subjected to various tests, and it was still easy to clean with a cloth before the paint dried.
