Xiaomi 13 Ultra: Tests show worse display efficency than the Xiaomi 13 Pro

Xiaomi’s newest flagship telephone, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, debuted earlier this week and was extensively marketed for its ultra-bright display. Brightness, after all, is not the final metric for judging a display’s high quality, and it seems the new flagship’s panel does not fairly match as much as the competitors by way of effectivity.

In an effectivity check by Chinese outlet Xiaobai Evaluation, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s Huaxing C7 display may be seen to be worse than the E6 display on the cheaper Xiaomi 13 Pro. While each are neck-in-neck at 100 nits, by 350 nits, the E6 on the 13 Pro exhibits an effectivity benefit, consuming simply 0.933 W versus the Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s 1.055 W. At the peak handbook brightness of 510 nits, that hole widens additional—the Xiaomi 13 Pro’s display makes use of up 1.570 W whereas the Ultra’s C7 panel guzzles 1.771 W of energy.

Admittedly, that is only a 10% effectivity benefit for the E6 panel on the Xiaomi 13 Pro, however that hole is more likely to develop the brighter each shows get. Likely, Xiaomi opted for the Huaxing C7 over panels from Samsung in an try and preserve prices down. It’s not a shock the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, regardless of its many digital camera enhancements, prices solely a tad extra than the Xiaomi 13 Pro —bragging rights for having the brightest smartphone on the market may have come as a bonus.
