After delaying the original unveiling at the last minute, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi has finally introduced its latest flagships — and for once, it isn’t playing it safe with the aesthetics. The Xiaomi 13 series arrives in two flavors: a vanilla model with a flat screen and edges, and a Pro model with curved glass aesthetics on both sides and more powerful cameras. The base version offers a 50-megapixel optically-stabilized main camera with Leica tuning, sitting alongside a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle snapper and a 10-megapixel telephoto zoom camera. Selfie duties have been deputed to a 32-megapixel camera sensor.
Powering the phone is Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, ticking alongside up to 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM and a maximum of 512 GB of onboard storage. Over at the front is a 6.36-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a staggeringly-high peak brightness of 1,900 nits.
