Xiaomi has confirmed that the event is for the Xiaomi 13 series phones, although there could be some surprises - including aXiaomi Watch.
As for the handsets themselves, considering two of them havealready launched in China, we pretty much know what to expect from that particular duo.
The Chinese versions of the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro each run on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, although there are some key differences between the handsets.
The Xiaomi 13, for example, has a 6.39-inch FHD+ OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Xiaomi 13 Pro, on the other hand, has a 6.73-inch QHD+ curved OLED screen, so is quite an upgrade.
Both phones sport camera units made in collaboration with Leica, but with different specifications.
The 13 has a 50-megapixel main camera, 12-megapixel ultrawide, and 10-megapixel telephoto on the rear. The Pro model ups that to a one-inch IMX989 50-megapixel main, and two other 50-megapixel sensors handling ultrawide and telephoto duties respectively.
We await to see if there are regional differences in the global variants, plus what the Xiaomi 13 Lite will officially offer.
