The Xiaomi 13 Lite made an unexpected debut, alongside the Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro, Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro, and a scooter.
The first big announcement at MWC is already behind us. After announcing the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro in China back in December last year, Xiaomi officially brought the 13 Series to the global market with some cool and exciting additions.
The main focus of the Xiaomi 13 series is, of course, the collaboration with Leica. Both the regular Xiaomi 13 and the Pro version have optics that were designed and built by the German camera expert Leica. The photos can also be taken in two different color styles: Leica Authentic Look and Leica Vibrant Look.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro might be the next camera champion
The top-of-the-line Xiaomi 13 Pro features the same 1-inch Sony IMX989 camera sensor as the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, but the model was limited to the Chinese market. This time, mobile photography fans all over the world will be able to take photos with this camera monster.
This huge sensor (50 MP) sits behind a Leica lens system with a 23mm focal length and an f-stop of f/1.9. There’s also a 75mm telephoto lens (50 MP sensor underneath) with a moving element inside, but unlike the vario zoom found in the Xperia 1 IV, this one aids in focus, allowing the camera to take closeups of up to 4 inches. The third camera is a 14mm ultra-wide snapper, again using a 50MP sensor.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro is not only a camera, though, the phone comes with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, 12GB of fast LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage. This should make it one of the fastest Android phones on the market. The display also looks like a potential record-breaker: it’s a 6.73-inch E6 AMOLED with a variable refresh rate that can go from 1 to 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 1,900 nits.
The specs also include a large 4,820 mAh battery and 120W wired fast charging (50W wireless).
