Xiaomi 13 Ultra hands-on: The best phone you can’t have

xiaomi 13 ultra review

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra made a big splash with its recent debut, and for good reason. Xiaomi embraces the idea of an ultra phone in a way other brands can't match. See, for instance, the Xiaomi 11 Ultra, with its rear display and trio of 50MP cameras. And now the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is here: the camera phone that's the most "camera" that a camera phone's ever been.

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra provides four 50MP main cameras and a versatile toolbox of photography features, along with other flagship phone staples like a big and beautiful display, a large battery, the latest top-tier silicon and zippy charging. But squeezing that all into one handset has resulted in a phone that's quite unwieldy and likely very expensive. And to add insult to injury, the 13 Ultra's not coming to the U.K. according to Xiaomi's representatives; it's all but guaranteed to skip the U.S., too, given Xiaomi’s reluctance to ship phones to that country.
