Xiaomi 13: We will have to be patient in Europe
Leaked photos of the Xiaomi 13, which showed an angular design similar to Apple’s iPhone, were confirmed at the event. Likewise, the colored versions which I still doubted shortly before the launch have been available for pre-order since last night in a limited edition.
Starting Wednesday, December 14, all three versions will be available for sale, at least in China. The Xiaomi 13 range should arrive with us in the spring, before a probable Xiaomi 13 Ultra, which was not presented yesterday.

It has stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos sound, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, identical memory configurations and an IP68 certification against dust and water ingress.
