Xiaomi just announced its newest flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 13 Pro, and we take a look at how the phone compares with the outgoing Xiaomi 12 Pro smartphone.
Every December, Xiaomi releases its newest flagship model like clockwork. This time, the company unveiled the Xiaomi 13 series, and in this article, we’ll be examining the Xiaomi 13 Pro in greater detail.
Comparing the Xiaomi 13 Pro with the outgoing Xiaomi 12 Pro, it’s evident Xiaomi has made some important improvements. In this comparison, we look at how the two phones differ from one another in terms of price, design, and specifications.
Xiaomi has released the Xiaomi 13 Pro in a variety of SKUs, with the 8GB+128GB option starting at CNY 4999 (about Rs 59,200). The prices for the 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB models are CNY 5399 (about Rs 64,000), CNY 5799 (roughly Rs 68,700), and CNY 6299 (roughly Rs 74,600), respectively.
On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12 Pro (Review) has been domestically released in India and is available in two SKUs. For the 8GB + 256GB version of the phone, the price is Rs 62,999, while for the 12GB + 256GB model, it is Rs 66,999.
The company has made a small adjustment to the phone’s overall design language with the Xiaomi 13 Pro. The three sensors are neatly arranged in a squared-off camera configuration on the rear, which is the most obvious difference. With a curved front panel and 3D glass on the back, the phone still features a glass sandwich design. To give the 13 Pro a more posh vibe, Xiaomi has also released a vegan leather back cover for it.
The Xiaomi 12 Pro, in contrast, has a more rectangular rear camera module that also sticks out quite a bit because of the size of the lens. Apart from that, the phone’s back is unblemished and bears the Xiaomi logo at the bottom.
