Xiaomi 13 in AnTuTu: real scores in 2026 and how to increase them

Xiaomi 13’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is still one of the most productive smartphones on the market, despite the release of new models. But how many points does it score in AnTuTu today in 2026? The answer is not as clear as it might seem: the results depend on the firmware version, temperature, and sometimes on a particular instance of the device.

In this article, we’ll take a look at the real-world performance of Xiaomi 13 in AnTuTu (including 13 Pro and 13 Ultra for comparison), analyze why the numbers can vary by 10-15% even on the same devices, and give practical tips on how to maximize performance before testing without the risk of overheating, and learn what MIUI settings affect the result and whether to chase records in benchmarks.

Official and Real Results of AnTuTu for Xiaomi 13

According to AnTuTu’s first quarter of 2026 data, the average score for Xiaomi 13 (model 2211133G) is 1,250,000–1,320,000. However, these numbers are averaged across thousands of devices, and in real-world conditions you can get both higher and lower results.

• 🔥 Thermoregulation: At the first start of the benchmark smartphone can show up to 1 350 000 points, but after 2-3 Tests in a row due to overheating the result will fall to 1 150 000–1 200 000.
• 📱 Version. MIUI: Nana MIUI 14 (Android 13) result 5-8% higher than MIUI 15 (Android 14) Due to changes in energy management.
• 🔋 Performance mode: Enabling Game mode in settings adds ~3-5% to the final score, but reduces the time of autonomous work.

By comparison, the Xiaomi 13 Pro (with the same chipset but better cooling) averages 1,300,000–1,380,000, while the 13 Ultra scores up to 1,450,000 thanks to a more aggressive cooling system and photo optimizations.

Note: Samsung Galaxy S23 beats Xiaomi 13 despite the same chipset – this is due to the more aggressive optimization of One UI for benchmarks. At the same time, the iQOO 11 performs better thanks to improved cooling, but is strongly warmed.

⚠️ Note: If your Xiaomi 13 scores less than 1.1 million in AnTuTu at room temperature, this could indicate heatpaste issues or background processes consuming resources. → Annexes → Working.

Why AnTuTu results can be different on one device

Even on two identical Xiaomi 13s with one firmware, AnTuTu scores can vary by 100,000 to 150,000.

1. Ambient temperature: At +30°C indoors, the smartphone will trottl (reset frequencies) after the first test, reducing the result by 8-12%.
2. Battery charge: At a charge level below 20%, the system automatically limits performance, and the optimal range for tests is 40-80%.
3. Background activity: Even a MIUI in its "pure" state holds up to 15 system processes in memory. Close all applications before the test.
4. AnTuTu version: In AnTuTu 10, the scoring algorithms have changed, with some devices getting 3-5% less points compared to AnTuTu 9.

The firmware region is also affected: European and global versions of MIUI often have stricter performance limits than Chinese versions (due to different certification standards).

How to Prepare Xiaomi 13 for Testing in AnTuTu for Maximum Results

If you need to get the highest possible score (for example, to sell a device or compare with friends), follow these steps:

Disable Wi-Fi and Mobile Data

Close all background applications

Set the screen brightness to 50%

Charge the battery to 50-80%

Reboot your smartphone before the test

Enable the "Performance" mode in the battery settings

-->

You can also activate the hidden performance mode in MIUI:

1. Open the Settings. → The phone.
2. Tap 5 times on the line of the MIUI version to enable Developer Mode.
3. Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
4. Find the MIUI Optimization option and turn it off (this will reduce background system activity).

⚠️ Note: Long-term use of Xiaomi 13 in maximum performance mode without cooling can lead to battery degradation on the 10-15% We don't recommend keeping this mode on all the time.

What to do if Xiaomi 13 scores too low

If your smartphone is below $1150,000, try the following steps:

• 🔄 Factory reset: Sometimes accumulated debris in the system reduces performance!
• 🛠️ Firmware Update: Check Relevance MIUI In Settings → System Update: Older versions may have chipset-controlled bugs.
• 🧊 Thermopaste replacement: If a smartphone overheats even in simple tasks, the thermopaste may have dried up. ~1,500–2,000 rubles.
• 🔋 Battery check: Worn-out battery (capacity) < 80%) may limit peak performance. See status in Settings → Battery → Battery status.

If nothing helps, a hardware defect (such as chip detachment from the board) can be the cause, in which case contact Xiaomi’s service center – the warranty is usually free of charge.

💡

Before visiting the service, take a screenshot of the results of AnTuTu and record a video with lags (if any) - this will speed up the diagnosis.

Should I chase records in AnTuTu?

High benchmark scores are good for marketing, but in real life, the difference between 1,200,000 and 1,350,000 is almost invisible.

• 🎮 Genshin Impact or Call of Duty Mobile Differences FPS will 2-3 frame 58 before 60), not critically.
• 📸 Photo: The performance of the chipset does not affect the quality of images – more important processing algorithms Leica.
• 🔋 Autonomy: AnTuTu Scoring Modes Reduces Running Time by 15-20%.

Benchmarks are useful for comparing devices when buying or diagnosing problems, but not as a measure of "real speed." For example, the Xiaomi 13 with 1,250,000 points will run smoother than the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ with 500,000 points, but the difference between the 13 and 13 Pro (1,350,000) in everyday tasks is minimal.

💡

For most users, the 100,000-point difference in AnTuTu is not practical, but firmware optimization and cooling are more important.
