Xiaomi 13 Pro: Specification

The Xiaomi 13 Pro was spotted under model number 2210132C. Most of the information about the device is unknown, but few are still known. The device may be coming with Android 13-based MIUI 14. It will also have a curved AMOLED display. Another mind-blowing information is that the Xiaomi 13 Pro will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. A new design of the camera alignment setup can be expected. The device will capacitate up to 12GB Ram. Also, the handset will ship with 120W fast charging although the battery capacity is still unknown. But we predict it will be around 4600mAh as their previous model.

Even though the device is launching in 2022 it will be available in India around January 2023. The fast charging support of 120W was something available in their previous model. This may be a hurdle for Xiaomi because their competitor is able to provide around 200W charging at that price range. So this device should come with some mindblowing features packed in it otherwise it's just another Xiaomi 12 pro phone with an upgraded chipset. Most of the source for the information about the device was 3C listing. Xiaomi hasn't released any official information regarding this. Follow us to get more detailed news about the device once it is launched or other tech-related updates.
