Xiaomi 12S Ultra vs iPhone 13 Pro
In general, both do not have superiority that overwhelms each other. both devices are very powerful and useful, giving a premium feel. The iPhone 13 Pro uses the iOS operating system, while the Xiaomi 12S Ultra uses the Android-based MIUI interface. It’s worth mentioning that iOS by interface is pretty fluid. But if you want to install APK on your device, root it, etc., your choice should be in the direction of Xiaomi 12S Ultra. On iOS systems such things are not impossible, but jailbreaking is required to do them, and on iOS systems Jailbreak is usually a very late process.
Long story short, iOS is 1 step ahead in terms of fluidity and stability in terms of interface, but if you are not an end-user, it would be more logical to choose the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.

Xiaomi 12S Ultra has QHD+(1440X3200) 120Hz AMOLED screen. The screen size is 6.73″. This screen has HDR10+, dolby vision, 8,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 10bit color depth, 522 PPI, 240Hz touch response and 1500 nits (max) screen brightness. Xiaomi 12S Ultra’s screen looks pretty full.

Xiaomi 12S Ultra vs iPhone 13 Pro – Battery comparison
In fact, there is no need to compare it, everyone knows how far behind Apple is in terms of battery/charging. But let’s take a look anyway. Xiaomi 12S Ultra comes with a 4860mAh battery. This battery has a wired charging speed of 67W. 50W wirelessly. These speeds are quite enough for today. For Xiaomi 12S Ultra, it takes only 43 minutes to charge 0-100 with 67W. In addition, thanks to the +4500 mAh battery, you do not need to charge your device during average use throughout the day.
On the iPhone side, the situation is a little different, almost all companies provide +50W charging speed, while Apple still uses slow charging on their devices. Although over 10W is considered fast charging, 27W (max) is a very low speed compared to its competitors. The iPhone 13 Pro has a 3095 mAh battery. Provides 27W (max) charging speed with wired charging and with this speed, the 3095 mAh battery is fully charged from 0-100 in 1 hour and 51 minutes. The wireless charging speed is 7.5W, which is really funny nowadays. But with MagSafe it can go up to 15W.
Apple has made improvements to the battery recently, although not enough. Probably iPhone 13 Pro can also be used without charging for 1 day in normal use. However, the charging speed is quite low, if it is an important factor, no one would prefer a device that charges in 2 hours instead of 43 minutes. Xiaomi 12S Ultra seems to have made quite a difference in this regard.
