Launch of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra scheduled for April 18

The most anticipated camera behemoth in the smartphone world, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, officially launches on April 18. The company has already announced that it will happen this month and has finally set the date.

Footage reveals that it will once again have a massive circular camera island, but this time with four separate shooters. The 13 Ultra will be “a cut above” the competition, not without the strategic partnership with camera company Leica.

The smartphone will have a new Leica Vario-Summicron lens, and by the write-ups between the lenses, we’re assuming the main shooter will have an af/1.8 aperture on the front, while f/3.0 will be for the telephoto lens. There’s a dual LED flash on the left side of the camera island, which is slightly different from any renders we’ve seen.

Speaking of renders, yesterday brought the clearest, suggesting flat sides of the phone but 2.5D curved sides of the screen. In terms of specs, we’re expecting a 1″ type Sony IMX989 sensor for the 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera and two 50MP telephoto lenses – one with a periscope lens underneath for extra zoom, the other for portrait images.

The event is scheduled for 7 p.m. in China, noon in London and 4:30 p.m. in India. This is a global launch, which means we might see launch dates and pricing for international markets.
