The smartphone comes with the Leica professional optical lens system which brings complex and sophisticated optics, previously only experienced in traditional photography, to Xiaomi 13 Pro.

“For the imaging aesthetics, we fine-tuned the details, calibrated the colours, found the right narrative style for the masterpiece to be created, all with the Leica touch felt throughout,” Xiaomi said.Inspired by the classic aesthetic of Leica, Xiaomi 13 Pro employs two unique photographic styles from Leica and achieves P3 colour gamut for true-to-life colour accuracy.
