Xiaomi 13 Lite reportedly listed online, specs leaked
Xiaomi is expected to make an announcement regarding its partnership with Leica and unveil the new Xiaomi 13 series devices at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2023. According to previous leaks, these devices could include the Xiaomi 13, the Xiaomi 13 Pro, and the Xiaomi 13 Lite. Details about all three devices have leaked in the past, revealing that while the former two focus on the rear camera, the Xiaomi 13 Lite could be focusing on an improved selfie camera experience. More details about the Xiaomi 13 Lite have now leaked online, courtesy of a German e-retailer.
The Xiaomi 13 Lite according to Check notebook was briefly mentioned by German e-retailer CyberPort. The source managed to obtain cached pages (1) presenting detailed specifications, finishes and prices.
The pages suggest that the Xiaomi 13 Lite could be available in two color options — pink and black. The listings also suggest that the phone could be available in an 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant for a price of EUR 499.90 (roughly Rs. 44,200). While not mentioned with the retailer, the source claims that the handset could be available in a second variant with 256GB storage that could be priced at EUR 549 (roughly Rs. 48,500).
The rest of the specifications are in line with previous leaks and the phone now appears to be a rebadged version of the Xiaomi Civi 2 that was exclusive to China. Xiaomi is expected to debut the 13 Lite with a brand-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC that is said to be clocked at 2.4GHz. The phone could feature a 6.55-inch full-HD+ AMOLED panel with a 120Hz screen refresh rate. There could be triple cameras on the back, including a 50-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel secondary camera and a 2-megapixel third camera.
The listing also hints at a dual selfie camera setup, both of which are expected to be 32-megapixel cameras and will reportedly come with an iOS-like dynamic island feature. There’s also a 4,500mAh battery that could come with Xiaomi’s 67W TurboCharge technology.
