The long-awaited Xiaomi 13 Ultra is finally set to launch tomorrow and just a day before the big event, we finally have an official preview of the phone straight from Xiaomi.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra will feature a metal alloy casing with a new second-generation leatherette layer on top. The new leather-like material on the back has an antibacterial coating, which is also dirt-resistant and has a special anti-yellowing coating.

The leather bit will protrude near the camera bump with a combined thickness of up to 15.6mm.

The top and bottom of the phone will taper like a traditional camera for a more comfortable fit when using the device in landscape orientation. We can also see the larger camera island with the three Sony 50MP IMX858 sensors (ultra wide, short and long tele) and the 1-inch IMX989 main unit.

Xiaomi has also shared a teaser video for the 13 Ultra which showcases the phone in its green color.

In related news, Xiaomi also shared details about the 13 Ultra’s OLED LTPO panel which is jointly developed by Xiaomi and China Star. The C7 panel is confirmed to deliver a resolution of 1440 x 3200 px and a maximum peak brightness of 2600 nits for HDR content.
