Xiaomi has solidly established itself as the king of Android imaging with the official launch of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. The company launched this device last night and the demand for this device has been very strong. This device comes with a full – focus Leica, quad – camera and a new gen. Summicon lens. All these are available for 5999 yuan ($871) which is quite decent.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra camera is its main selling point
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra has only recently gone on sale, thus many people still don’t have the new device. The system optimisation at Xiaomi is also very fast. Two versions of the MIUI 14 OTA update have been made available in less than 24 hours. The focus of these updates is to boost the camera performance of the device. In the first patch MIUI 14.0.7.0, the capacity is up to 6.5GB. This is in addition to 2 Google security patches. The camera optimization is as follows:

- The default zoom ratio of street shooting mode is adjusted to 1.5X
- Street shooting mode fixed focus distance adjusted to 0.6m/1.2m/5m
In another move this evening, Xiaomi updated the Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s MIUI 14.0.8.0 patch. Even though the size is way smaller—only 87MB—the company advised all users to upgrade. Xiaomi claims that it will improve the user experience, make the system more stable, and improve shooting quality.
There are three main upgrades, as follows:
- Optimize the picture quality of some scenes and improve the quality of photo shooting
- The default zoom ratio of street shooting mode is adjusted to 1.5X
- Street shooting mode fixed focus distance adjusted to 0.6m/1.2m/5m
The former patches should be part of the new patch. However, the goal of the update remains the same, to improve the camera quality. Since Xiaomi is so strict about updating the system, users should connect to the Internet as soon as they obtain the new device. This is to ensure that the camera optimisation provided by the most recent update is available
