Xiaomi is being praised for not compromising on any feature in the premium 13 Ultra. The phone features a rugged hardware setup, a high-resolution, energy-efficient display, top-notch cameras, quick wired and wireless charging, and the latest connectivity standards.

However, the 13 Ultra is currently only available in China. The customers are thus limited to Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra in the international markets.
