Introduction

The smartphone industry is one of the most rapidly changing industries in the world. It can become very difficult to keep track of all the developments surrounding the industry. Yet, industry insiders and the general public love talking about the latest smartphone launched or about to be launched in the market. This helps the industry players to understand what their peers are doing and the consumers get an idea of whether to make an upgrade to the new phone.

The general excitement around the products gives rise to a lot of rumours around the market about the possible features and specifications of the upcoming phone model. There are many reliable leakers who somehow manage to spill minute details about the phone well in advance. One such buzz going around the market in the last few months is about the upcoming Xiaomi 13 smartphone. Let’s look at Xiaomi 13’s leaked specifications.

Xiaomi 13 General Specifications

Xiaomi 13 is expected to be launched next week i.e., December 1 in China and sometime later in the rest of the world. It would be the successor to the Xiaomi 12S series that was launched some time back. It was rumoured that the company may skip assigning the number 13 to the upcoming series and give 14 as the possible series name. However, a senior official at Xiaomi denied the possible jump straight to 14. The possible specifications that can be expected in Xiaomi 13 are presented by reliable leaker DCS and Steve. The features and specifications of the vanilla model of the upcoming Xiaomi 13 include the following.

Camera setup of Xiaomi 13

Xiaomi 13 is expected to get a new camera sensor on its back. One can expect it to be a 50MP Sony IMX8 series sensor. According to the leaked renders, the back will sport a square camera module in the upper left corner with three rear cameras and a hole-punch at the top centre for your perfect selfie. The rear camera systems look very fresh from the renders.

Charging

One of the most anticipated upgrades would be in the fast-charging support of the phone. It is expected that instead of the present models which support 67W fast charging, the Xiaomi 13 may support 120W fast charging. This means that you don’t have to worry about your draining batteries anymore. You can enjoy your favourite movie apart from your everyday work.

Display

Xiaomi 13 is rumoured to be having a 6.2-inch AMOLED panel along with a 120Hz refresh rate. This will ensure that you can enjoy your favourite movie or tv show with this bright, clear and smooth display. On top of it, it is expected that the display could offer 2K resolution providing stunning picture quality and a seamless display. Xiaomi is expected to have curved edges, minimal bezel, and a hole punch design display.

Dimensions and Operating System

According to the leaks made public by tipster Steve H. McFly, the dimensions of the upcoming smartphone would be 152.8 * 71.5 * 8.3mm. The rear camera bump would possibly increase the thickness to 10.3mm. It is rumoured that the Xiaomi 13 smartphone would run Android 13 out of the box.

Performance and Price

The device is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC which is far more efficient than its predecessor. The 4nm SoC can have a peak clock speed of 3.2GHz and a fresh tri-cluster setup with more performance cores than the efficiency cores. If the renders are to be believed, the users would be getting one of the best deals ensuring the value of money. The actual price hasn't been revealed but the rumoured Xiaomi is expected to be one of the most affordable flagship offerings from the company which would be launching in the next month.

The tipster was successful in revealing only a few details about the upcoming Xiaomi 13 which has been mentioned above. The rest of the details would anyways be revealed by the company in their launch. The Xiaomi 13 is expected to be launched in December 2022 in China along with another model in the series 13 Pro 5G which would have more advanced specifications and maybe be available at a slight premium. Meanwhile, the tech industry and consumers wait in anticipation until the launch of this phone.
