As a reminder, the Xiaomi 13 series was supposed to launch on December 1, but that didn’t happen. Xiaomi opted to reschedule the launch event to December 11, this Sunday.
Check out a bunch of official Xiaomi 13 & 13 Pro images
Having said that, these two phones will look a bit different in comparison. We’ve already seen their designs several times, but these are official renders, and are showing the two devices from several angles. The Xiaomi 13 will be smaller, it will have a flat display, and flatter sides. The Xiaomi 13 Pro will include a curved display, and its frame will curve a bit. The ‘Pro’ model’s backplate will also curve into the frame on the sides, while the one on the Xiaomi 13 will be mostly flat. The camera islands on the back are quite similar, but the included camera setups are not the same. Both camera islands will protrude on the back. Leica lenses will be included on both phones. These images also confirm that we’ll get both variants with glass backs and vegan leather backplates. We’re not sure if the vegan leather models will make it to global markets, though.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will fuel both of these phones
Both of these phones will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Both will include plenty of RAM and storage, and will make use of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash storage, the best of the best. Android 13 will come pre-installed, at least in global markets, with MIUI 14 on top of it. MIUI 14 will also become official on December 11, by the way, alongside the two phones. The Xiaomi 13 Pro will include a 1-inch camera sensor, the Sony IMX989 sensor. The Xiaomi 13 will not, however. They will also support fast charging, and wireless charging as well.
