XIAOMI 13. Xiaomi has postponed the launch of its latest Xiaomi series. Nevertheless, several rumors continue to surface. We take stock of the prices and the latest information about the Xiaomi 13.
The release date of the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro has been postponed for later this week. During the announcement event, Xiaomi will also launch its Watch S2 smartwatch, first desktop PC, Xiaomi Buds 4 TWS earphones and new projector at the event.
The most striking detail that we can observe from the official announcement shared by the head of Xiaomi Lei Jun is the change in the usual design of the two smartphones. The Xiaomi 13 would have a flat OLED display with 1.61mm thick frames and a width of 71.5mm. Both Xiaomi would be equipped with the Android 13 operating system and IP68 protection.
What additional information has been confirmed? How many Xiaomi 13 will be planned? To what price ? Let’s take stock of the next flagship smartphones of the Xiaomi brand.
What new features to come on the Xiaomi 13?
The first novelty concerning the Xiaomi 13 would be in terms of its power. It is important for a manufacturer to offer a more powerful version each year than its previous smartphone, and Xiaomi is no exception. The firm should therefore equip the future Xiaomi 13 with a latest generation processor. That’s good, the next Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip should equip the new Xiaomi 13, or at least the basic and Pro versions.
We note in particular a change in the design of the Xiaomi 13. The front of the phone would be very flat with a 2.5D screen with a 1.5K definition (2712 x 1220 pixels). The 32MP selfie camera would be located in the center of the front screen. The edges of the phone would also be flattened. Unlike the iPhone, the rear glass would include a slight curve on the edges, designed to make it easier to grip. The dimensions of the phone would be 152.8 x 71.5 x 8.3mm and the camera bump would be 10.3mm thick.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro should in particular bet a lot on the photo part by equipping itself with no less than three sensors. These include a wide-angle, an ultra-wide-angle, while the latter might just be a telephoto lens capable of shooting long-distance shots. The first 3D renderings of the device notably show a P layout for the photo module.
Xiaomi is still one of the kings in a very specific segment: charging. The Xiaomi 13 could therefore be compatible with 120W fast charging. They should thus follow in the footsteps of the previous Xiaomi 12 Pro which was able to fully recharge in only about twenty minutes!
At what price will the Xiaomi 13 be marketed?
At present, no official information on the price of the Xiaomi 13 has been communicated. While waiting for an announcement from the manufacturer or potential leaks in China, we prefer to give you the prices applied at the release of its predecessor, the Xiaomi 12. Note, however, that the prices of the next model may vary significantly due to the inflation in Europe.
- Xiaomi 12X (8GB+256GB) : 799 €.
- Xiaomi 12 (8GB+256GB) : 899 €.
- Xiaomi 12 Pro (12GB+256GB) : 1099 €.
What release date for the Xiaomi 13?
We will have to wait a little longer before having news of the future Xiaomi 13. Their predecessors were first unveiled in December in China. We weren’t able to really discover the Xiaomi 12 in Europe until March. The future Xiaomi 13X, Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro should therefore not be formalized with us before March 2023.
