Just a few days ago, after a delay, Xiaomi presented the Xiaomi 13 series. We were mainly interested in the basic model Xiaomi 13, which has compact dimensions and definitely has a lot to offer.
We think the Xiaomi 13 is finally the real smartphone from the Chinese giant that many fans have been longing for. It combines almost all the desired parameters, and in addition, in a compact body. These are its biggest advantages.
Compact dimensions and IP68 are what fans have been clamoring for
Let's start with the design. The one from previous generation changed considerably. Newly, we have flat frames and sharp edges, which we have been seeing with iPhones for some time now. However, the most interesting are the compact dimensions.
If we are talking about specific numbers, then they are 152,8 x 71,5 x 8 mm and weight only 189 grams, while the frames are made of metal and the front and back are made of glass.
A material back is also available Nano Skin. I guess the biggest surprise is the water resistance according to IP68 certification! This is something fans of the brand have been clamoring for for years.
It looks nice even on a flat surface 6,36-inch AMOLED panel with FullHD resolution, 120-hertz refresh rate and integrated fingerprint reader. The panel is of the Samsung E6 type and supports maximum peak brightness up to 1 rivets. The narrow frames are impressive, in terms of numbers they are only 1,61 mm thick and the lower chin is only 1,81 mm.
The most powerful chipset and quality Leica cameras
It's also worth noting that we're looking at a compact smartphone with the current highest performance, provided by the latest processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2. It works with at least 8 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 128 gigabytes of UFS 4.0 storage.
A surprise also awaits on the back, where there is a prominent camera module. It contains 54-megapixel main sensor with Hyper IOS support. This is followed by a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens. The cameras were tuned by the Leica company.
He has everything under his thumb MIUI 14, which is based on Android 13. They will also be pleased with the high-quality stereo speakers. The battery has a decent capacity 4500 mAh, supports 67-watt wired and 50-watt wireless charging.
When will the global version be released?
So far, only the model designed for the domestic Chinese market has been presented. We don't have any word on the global reveal date yet, but there should be early next year.
