It’s time for the company’s flagship device to arrive in India, and Xiaomi has now announced that the Xiaomi 13 Pro will do so on February 26. The phone, which debuted in China in December 2022 and replaces the Xiaomi 12 Pro, features the most recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, cameras backed by Leica, and many other features. Here are some specifics.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro will launch on February 26th at 9:30 p.m. It will also be a worldwide debut at GMT+ 5:30, just in time for MWC 2023. The event will be webcast live on Xiaomi’s official website as well as social media channels like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro is visually distinct from its predecessor, with a massive square camera hump on the rear. Parts of the structure are made of nano-biological ceramic. The display on the front is a 6.73-inch 2K display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, a peak brightness of 1900 nits, and HDR10+ support. Up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage are supported.
It has a 50MP primary camera with a 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 5MP ultra-wide lens. Leica Native Dual Image Quality, Leica’s colour science, Leica filters, and more are among the Leica tidbits.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro is powered by a 4,820mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging as well as reverse charging. It runs Android 13-based MIUI 14 and includes dual stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos, NFC, and other features.
Given that Xiaomi usually only releases the Pro versions of its high-end phones in India, it remains to be seen if the standard Xiaomi 13 will make the cut. Pricing could be under Rs 70,000, but we’ll have to wait until the event to get a better idea. Keep an eye out for more details on the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Pro, which will compete with the likes of the recently released OnePlus 11, iQOO 11, and Samsung Galaxy S23 series.
