Xiaomi 13 series gets free YouTube Premium, Google Pixel’s Magic Eraser
Xiaomi 13 series, the flagship series that was launched on February 26 ahead of MWC 2023, comes with special offers and features. Apart from a free six-month subscription to YouTube Premium, the Xiaomi 13 series smartphones also get the ‘Magic Eraser’ feature that was limited to only Google Pixel devices until now. Xiaomi announced a partnership with Google during its MWC 2023 event that is currently underway in Barcelona, Spain. This partnership essentially marked the integration of popular Google products with the Xiaomi 13 series.
YouTube Premium, which recently crossed 80 million paying subscribers, lets users stream unlimited content without any ads. On the bright side, its Magic Eraser feature lets users erase unwanted objects from their photos. However, there’s an undeniable catch to this too-good-to-be-true offer that’s been tied to the Xiaomi 13 devices, including the vanilla Xiaomi 13, the Xiaomi 13 Pro and the Xiaomi 13 Lite.
Just like the free subscription to YouTube Premium, the Magic Eraser feature is also available for free on the Xiaomi 13 devices for six months.
With this integration, Google wants to reach more people to try their Google One subscription for free. It expands the storage for Google Drive, Photos and Gmail. In India, the plan starts at Rs. 130 per month.
Both Android and iOS users can purchase Google One and use the Magic Eraser feature.
The high-end variant in the Xiaomi 13-series — the Xiaomi 13 Pro — has launched with the latest MIUI 14, which is based on Android 13. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The phone also packs a 4,820mAh battery with support for 120W fast wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging.
The base storage variant has a starting price of EUR 999 (nearly Rs. 87,600) while the Xiaomi 13 Pro is priced at EUR 1,299 (roughly Rs. 1,13,900). On the other hand, the Xiaomi 13 Lite is priced at EUR 499 (roughly Rs. 43,800). Both the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro come with a Leica-branded camera unit.
