Is the Xiaomi 13 Pro camera really as good as they say?

Yes, thanks to the 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor, this phone has one of the best dynamic ranges and natural 'bokeh' effects you can find on a mobile phone.

How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

Using the 120W charger, the phone charges from 0-100% in about 19-22 minutes. Even a 5-minute charge provides enough power for several hours.

Does the device support eSIM?

Yes, the global version of the Xiaomi 13 Pro supports eSIM, allowing you to use two numbers simultaneously (Nano-SIM + eSIM).

Is the ceramic back more durable than glass?

Ceramic is significantly more resistant to scratches than glass, but it is brittle and can crack from a strong impact, similar to glass.

Does the phone get hot during gaming?

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is very efficient, but under prolonged load (e.g., 4K video or demanding games), the device may heat up. Xiaomi's cooling system keeps it under control, however.

When will software support end?

Xiaomi has promised security patches until March 2028, meaning the device will remain safe to use for several more years.
