Xiaomi’s iPhone 14 Rival will be launched tomorrow

Xiaomi plans to launch the Xiaomi 13 series, its flagship lineup designed to rival top phones from Samsung and Apple, tomorrow in China.

In a series of Weibo posts on Thursday, Xiaomi shared images of the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro that show off a large Leica-branded camera bump as well as the design. The Xiaomi 13 appears to have boxed edges similar to the iPhone 14, while the Xiaomi 13 Pro features a tapered edge.

Xiaomi previously revealed some specs of its upcoming flagship. The company said the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro will be powered by the high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and each will feature a telephoto lens capable of 3.26x optical zoom. The Pro model will get a larger sensor in the form of a massive 1-inch sensor for the main camera.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on a timeline for a global release. However, based on Xiaomi’s track record, the main flagship lineup usually receives an international release several months after a China release.
