We called the Xiaomi 13 Ultra the most versatile smartphone camera money can buy in our review, but it didn’t impress DXOMARK nearly as much as it sounds. DXO tested the 13 Ultra and gave it 14th place in its global ranking, behind phones like the Google Pixel 7 Pro (6th), Huawei P60 Pro (1st place), Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max ( 8th), last year’s iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max (eleventh) and even Xiaomi’s Mi 11 Ultra from two years ago.
DXO’s ranking is based on a scoring system, so the Xiaomi 13 Ultra rounded up to 140 points. Here’s the full breakdown.
Placing Xiaomi’s leading cameraphone in 14th place may seem harsh, but look closer and DXOMARK’s report has more praise than criticism. The report points to the constant image quality across the entire zoom range, the neutral white balance and the very natural rendering of details among the many advantages of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
Issues include exposure instability and some halos and oversaturated colors in outdoor images.
