Mobile World Congress 2023 is a few days away. In staging the launch of multiple high-end, mid-range, and entry-tier devices, the Barcelonian event has everyone on the edge of their seats. At the event, we also expect to see the Xiaomi 13 Lite, which will debut as a rebranded CIVI 2 from last year.
A german retailer recently added the 13 Lite to its e-store before the launch and unveiled everything about the device. Xiaomi quickly removed it from the retailer’s website, though a cached version of the page still lives on the internet. We now have every single detail about MI 13 Lite. Here’s an in-depth overview, its price tag, and some renders.
Starting with its screen, the 13 Lite has an AMOLED 6.55” Full HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel has solid 1000nits brightness in peak conditions, followed by HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. The curved panel brings a pill notch, Corning Gorilla Glass, and an under-screen fingerprint reader.
At the helm, Xiaomi endows the newcomer with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. 13 Lite will have tremendous endurance and performance thanks to that new and improved chipset. The newcomer to the Xiaomi price catalog will draw power from a standard 4500mAh cell energized with a 67W fast charging.
In specs, the retailer shows Android 12 x MIUI 13, which seems out of place for this model. However, the memory options are acceptable, teaming 8GB of RAM with 128GB-256GB Storage. In the province of photography, users should expect Mi 13 Lite with 50MP primary, 20MP Ultra-wide secondary, and 2MP macro tertiary sensor. Moving to its front, the pill shape on its header will bear a 32MP sensor. Rumors suggest it might be a dual 32MP combining two apertures for selfies.
The retailer intended to sell the Xiaomi 12 lite 128GB variant at €499.90 (~PKR 139,000) and the 256GB variant at €549.90 (~PKR 153,000). For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the 10C offers basic features at a lower price point than the 12 Lite. Redmi 10C's best price in Pakistan is PKR 44,999.
