Several leaks confirm the upcoming launch of the Xiaomi 13 Lite in the world alongside the 13 and 13 Pro models.
Technical specs of the Chinese brand’s entry-level smartphone have also leaked online, but are yet to be confirmed. Xiaomi would therefore come to the mobile phone fair in Barcelona with three smartphones in their luggage. On the other hand, there wouldn’t be a Xiaomi 13 Ultra in the boxes… right now.
The Xiaomi 13 Lite is modeled after the Xiaomi Civi 2
Last week we learned the official presentation date of the new Xiaomi smartphones of the 13 series. The Chinese giant’s CEO gave us a date for a launch conference on February 26, a day before the opening of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. products in the rest of the world. We knew the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro would be there, but the cheaper Lite model was still very understated. Leaker SnoopyTech revealed the day after this announcement that unlike the Ultra model, the smartphone would also be there.
He also took the opportunity to provide the press with numerous images presenting each smartphone in the series. The opportunity therefore to see the Xiaomi 13 Lite. In terms of design, the device seems to be completely based on the Civi 2 model that was released exclusively in China in September 2022. We see this photo block made up of the two largest sensors in the circle and a smaller sensor at the bottom next to the lamp. It is also worth noting the presence of the dual front camera stamped on the screen.
An inevitably less powerful smartphone
Over the weekend, the Twitter account Technology Info unveiled the technical specifications of the brand’s entry-level smartphone. We’ll have to wait for the official presentation at the Xiaomi conference, of course, but here’s what to prepare for. The smartphone would also have a 6.55-inch AMOLED screen that refreshes at 120Hz, but will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip. The Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro are entitled to the latest Snpadragon 8 Gen 2 chip.
It will also feature a 50 Mpx “triple camera system” and will benefit from 67W fast charging. The rest is just guesswork. If the Xiaomi 13 Lite is indeed a rebranded Civi 2, then we should expect the presence of a 50MP main photo sensor, a 32MP wide-angle sensor and a 2MP macro lens. .
The two front cameras would offer 32 Mpx and two different fields of view. Finally, the device could end up in three different configurations: 8GB RAM for 128GB storage, 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, and a version with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
