Xiaomi 13T became one of the most talked-about flagships of 2023 due to its price-performance balance. But how many points does it score in the popular benchmark AnTuTu โ and how do those numbers compare to the actual operation of the device? If you are planning a purchase or just want to estimate the power of your gadget, this article will help you to understand the details.
We analyzed data from official sources, independent tests and user reviews to provide up-to-date information, and here you will find not only the "naked" numbers, but also an explanation of why the results may differ, how to test the smartphone correctly, and what AnTuTu scores in everyday use affect, and a comparison with competitors like the iPhone 14 and Samsung Galaxy S23.
How many points does Xiaomi claim?
According to Xiaomiโs presentation, the MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra 13T smartphone has a score of about 1,100,000-1,150,000 in AnTuTu v10, based on pre-production models with optimized software and ideal testing conditions, with no application background and at room temperature.
But it's important to understand that official tests are often done on clean firmware without a MIUI shell, and production devices may have thermal throttling, so real-world results are typically 5 to 15 percent lower than reported. For example, 13T tech bloggers' reviews show 950,000 to 1.50,000 points in standard settings.
โ ๏ธ Warning: Manufacturers often use test results on overclocked firmware in marketing. For objective evaluation, see data from independent sources such as NotebookCheck or GSMArena.
- ๐ CPU: ~250 000โ270 000 score (4 nucleus Cortex-A78 + 4 nucleus Cortex-A55)
- ๐ฎ GPU: ~380,000-420,000 points (Mali-G610 MC6)
- ๐ฑ UX (interface): ~120,000-140 000 points
- ๐พ Memory: ~150,000-170 000 points (LPDDR5 + UFS 3.1)
Real user tests: data from AnTuTu Database
The AnTuTu Benchmark database (available on antutu.com) collects test results from around the world. As of the first quarter of 2026, the average score of the Xiaomi 13T (8/256 GB) in AnTuTu v10 is:
| AnTuTu version | Average grade | Minimum. | Maximum | Number of tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v10.1.8 | 1 024 350 | 912 000 | 1 130 000 | 4 287 |
| v9.4.3 | 987 500 | 890 000 | 1 080 000 | 1 892 |
| v11.0.5 | 1 089 200 | 975 000 | 1 190 000 | 543 |
The variance of results is due to several factors:
- ๐ฅ Ambient temperature: At +30ยฐC and higher processor automatically reduces frequencies, losing up to 20% of performance.
- ๐ Firmware version: Updates MIUI They can improve or degrade optimization, for example, after the release of the product. MIUI 14.0.5 Many users noted a drop of 5-10 points%.
- ๐ฑ Background processes: Even 10-15 running applications in the background can eat up to 150,000 points.
- ๐ Battery charge: At levels below 20%, the system limits performance to save energy.

Before testing in AnTuTu, restart your smartphone, close all apps, and plug in the charger, which will give you the most honest result.
How to check AnTuTu scores on Xiaomi 13T?
To find out the performance of your Xiaomi 13T, follow the instructions:
- Download AnTuTu Benchmark from Google Play or AppGallery.
- Close all background apps (use the "Clear" button in the multitasking menu).
- Connect your smartphone to charging (the original 67W Xiaomi adapter is recommended).
- Launch AnTuTu, select the Benchmark tab and click START.
- Wait until the test is finished (about 5-7 minutes), and when you complete the test, you will see the overall score and details for each section.
โ๏ธ Preparation for the test in AnTuTu
If your score is significantly below the average (less than 900,000 points), check:
- ๐ Body temperature: Use the app CPU Monitor โ if the processor temperature exceeds 60ยฐC, this indicates overheating.
- ๐ฆ Free Memory: In the settings About the phone โ Memory should be at least 3-4 GB of free RAM.
- ๐ Version MIUI: Update the firmware through Settings โ The phone. โ Updating the system.
Comparison with competitors: who is stronger in AnTuTu?
To gauge the position of Xiaomi 13T in the market, compare it to other flagships of 2023 according to AnTuTu v10:
| Model | Processor | Average grade | Difference from 13T |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 14 Pro | Apple A16 Bionic | 1 650 000 | +60% |
| Samsung Galaxy S23+ | Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 | 1 300 000 | +27% |
| OnePlus 11 | Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 | 1 280 000 | +25% |
| Realme GT Neo 5 | Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 | 1 050 000 | +3% |
| POCO F5 Pro | Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 | 1 030 000 | +1% |
Xiaomi 13T is inferior to the top chips Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Apple A16, but ahead of most devices on the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. At the same time in real tasks โ game launch, video rendering or multitasking โ the difference with competitors is often invisible due to the optimization of MIUI.
โ ๏ธ Note: Benchmarks donโt always reflect real performance. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro may show record results in AnTuTu, but in games like Genshin Impact, the difference is with Xiaomi. 13T It's only 5-10. FPS maximum-setting.
Impact of firmware and updates on AnTuTu scores
The performance of the Xiaomi 13T is heavily influenced by the MIUI version, for example, after upgrading to MIUI 14.0.8.0 (released in December 2023), many users noted:
- โฌ๏ธ 3โ5% increase in AnTuTu scores through Linux kernel optimization.
- โฌ๏ธ Reduced processor heat at long loads (temperature dropped from 65)ยฐC to 58ยฐC).
- โก Improved battery life by 10-15% thanks to new energy management algorithm.
At the same time, some updates can make results worse, such as MIUI 14.0.5.0, which had a bug with a graphics accelerator driver that dropped points in the GPU section by 20 to 30 percent.

AnTuTu vs Real Performance: Whatโs More Important?
AnTuTu scores are a synthetic test that measures the raw power of components, but in everyday use, it's more important to:
- ๐ฏ Software optimization: For example, an iPhone with fewer cores often runs smoother than Android flagships because of better iOS optimization.
- ๐ Thermal management: Xiaomi 13T uses a cooling system with an evaporation chamber, which prevents performance from falling under prolonged loads.
- ๐ฎ Game support: Genshin Impact on maximum settings 13T It gives a stable 55-60 FPS, Some competitors are โsuckingโ to 45. FPS heat-up.
For an objective assessment of the smartphone, pay attention to:
| Parameter | Xiaomi 13T | iPhone 14 Pro | Samsung Galaxy S23 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4K video rendering time (min) | 8:20 | 6:45 | 7:50 |
| Autonomy (hours of video) | 14 | 16 | 13 |
| Max FPS in Call of Duty Mobile | 90 | 120 | 90 |

If you need a smartphone for games, pay attention not to AnTuTu scores, but to real-world FPS tests in games and body temperature after 30 minutes of gameplay.
