- The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is only 14th in the DxOMark ranking with its Leica camera.
- The predecessor Mi 11 Ultra, developed without Leica, performs better.
- Leica’s former cooperation partner Huawei leads the ranking with the P60 Pro.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is finally available in Germany from June 12 at 10 a.m. The flagship of the mobile phone should be the camera developed in cooperation with Leica. The renowned photo laboratory DxOMark has now put it through its paces and compared it with other top smartphones. The result should be sobering for the manufacturer.
Instead of two years ago with the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra To conquer first place, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra only lands in 14th place with 140 points in the camera ranking. But it is in good company there. That also ranks equal on points in this place Google Pixel 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Mi 11 Ultra without Leica camera performs better
The two-year-old Mi11 Ultra, on the other hand, does even better with 141 points. And that although Xiaomi has not yet worked with Leica on its camera. Leica’s former partner Huawei, on the other hand, apparently coped well with the separation. The new Huawei P60 Pro without a Leica camera ranked first with 156 points DxOMark ranking.

In your The website praises the detailed test with the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, among other things, the “even image quality over the entire zoom range” and the “rather large dynamic range in photos”. There is criticism, among other things, for the delay between pressing the shutter button and the actual shots and “oversaturated colors in outdoor shots”.
Cooperation may take time
One consolation for Xiaomi fans should be that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is only the second model generation for which the Chinese manufacturer is working with Leica. The cooperation between Huawei and Leica also took time. After P9 and P10 only the third model (Huawei P20 Pro) and its successors Huawei P30 Pro attracted attention with their camera performance.
