A life-sized G-Stand that acts like a freedom wall will also allow the public to write down their best memories of Singapore.


Following its global release, the Xiaomi 13T Series, featuring the Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro, immediately makes its way to Singapore.
Price and availability
The Xiaomi 13T Pro comes with two storage variants:
- 12GB+512GB (available exclusively online at the official Xiaomi store on Shopee): SGD 949
- 16GB+1TB: SGD 1099
The Xiaomi 13T (12GB+256GB) will be available at SGD 699.
Xiaomi 13T Series
Both phones are equipped with Leica-powered lenses. Like the Xiaomi 13 series launched earlier this year, you get to choose whether you shoot with Leica Authentic or Leica Vibrant. The camera app is also equipped with filters (Leica custom photographic styles) that accentuate the camera’s capabilities.
Other camera features are as follows: Master-lens system: 35mm Documentary lens, 50mm Swirly
bokeh lens, 90mm Soft focus lens, Xiaomi ProFocus, and Night mode.
Other than the camera lenses, the Xiaomi 13T series share the same colorways: Meadow Green, Black, and Alpine Blue. The Alpine Blue colorway is slightly smaller and lighter because it’s made with softly textured Xiaomi BioComfort vegan leather. The other two colors, meanwhile, have a glossy finish. But all colors are IP68 rated making it resistant to some splashes and dust.
To get a better idea of how these two stack up. Here’s a quick look at the specs.
