Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro and Xiaomi 13 Lite are here!

We will probably start with what you are most interested in, i.e. the versions in which the top Xiaomi will be offered, as well as their prices. I must praise the manufacturer for simplifying and organizing the price list, without the excess of variants that we know from the Chinese market ... So:

• Xiaomi 13 - 8+256: EUR 999

In pre-sale, the Xiaomi 13 smartphone will be available in a set with Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro headphones in black. Both models will be available for sale from March 8. The official price of Xiaomi 13 Lite in Poland will be known later. Now it's time to look at the smartphones themselves and their specifications...

Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro are related models, sharing many common characteristics. They look similar and are the first in the history of the brand to boast an IP68 certificate. One would like to say: finally! We also got the logo of the photographic legend - that is Leica - on the cameras of both models. Xiaomi flagships have top Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors and are equipped with LPDDR5x and UFS 4.0 memories. Smartphones have the same 32-megapixel selfie cameras (f/2.0). And what's different? Xiaomi 13 has a flat 6.36-inch Full HD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate and a 50-megapixel camera with Optical Image Stabilization and an aperture f/1.8. This camera is supported by a 12-megapixel wide-angle module with a field of view of 120 degrees and f/2.2 aperture and a 10-megapixel camera with a telephoto lens of 3.2x approximation and f/2.0 aperture.

Xiaomi 13 is powered by a 4500 mAh battery with a 67-watt charge. Xiaomi 13 Pro has a 6.73-inch 2K display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a battery with a capacity of 4820 mAh, charging with a power of 120 W. This model impresses with a camera with an inch Sony IMX989 matrix and a lens with OIS stabilization and f/1.9 aperture. Such a matrix size and a large pixel size in 13 Pro means more light captured, better colors and contrasts. Xiaomi 13 Pro supports the 10-Bit RAW DNG Camera format and color profiles created by Adobe, leaving professionals more room for editing in Photoshop and Lightroom. In addition, Xiaomi 13 Pro has two cameras with a 50-megapixel resolution: wide-angle (f/2.2, 114 degrees) and tele, with an approximation of 3.2x, optical stabilization and f/2.0 aperture.

Xiaomi 13 Lite is a bit more modest, but also a cousin: the model Xiaomi Civi 2. "Our" Xiaomi 13 Lite received a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which "haunts "wide cut. It must be so, because it houses two selfie cameras (32 and 8 Mpx) - the additional one is wide-angle and covers a field of view of 100 degrees. Under the display there is a Snapdragon 7 Gen1 processor with LPDDR4X and UFS 2.2 memories. Even deeper we find a 4500 mAh battery with 67-watt charging that powers all the equipment. Moving to the back, we will notice a triple camera. It consists of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 main matrix, supported by an 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 wide-angle module with a field of view of 119 degrees and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The equipment also includes stereo speakers, an infrared transmitter (IR remote control) and NFC - just like in the flagships described above.
