Xiaomi has confirmed that the 13 Ultra will be launched in April, and the global release of the flagship smartphone has also been confirmed. However, the exact launch date was leaked online through a listing on an app store in China. According to the listing, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be unveiled in China on April 18. This is in line with the company’s previous announcement that the flagship phone will be launched in April.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is expected to be the company’s most expensive flagship smartphone to date. It will feature a Leica-tuned camera system, which is not surprising given that the previous models, the 12S Ultra and the 13 series, also featured high-end camera lenses developed in collaboration with the German camera manufacturer.
While the leaked listing did not provide any additional information about the phone’s specifications, rumors, and leaks have revealed some of the key features of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. The phone is expected to launch with up to 16GB of RAM and the highest-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. It will also offer storage capacities of up to 512 GB, with 12GB of RAM in the base model. The phone is expected to feature UFS 4.0 storage and LPDDR5x RAM and will have a USB 3.x Type-C port.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be powered by a 4900mAh battery that will support 50W wireless charging and wired fast charging of up to 90W. It will run on Android 13 and have a layer of MIUI 14 on top.
The most distinctive feature of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be its camera system. According to rumors, the phone will have a quad-camera setup at the back, with a main camera sensor that is 1 inch by 50 megapixels and made by Sony. This sensor is also used in the Xiaomi 13 Pro and OPPO Find X6 Pro. The phone will also have three additional 50MP sensors, with two sensors for telephoto zoom shots and one sensor for ultra-wide shots. It is also expected to have a periscope lens and a 32MP front camera for taking selfies.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra will have a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 2K resolution, curved edges, and a punch-hole pattern at the top for the front camera. The LTPO panel will refresh the display between 120Hz and 1Hz, allowing for better battery life.
In conclusion, the leaked launch date for the Xiaomi 13 Ultra has been confirmed, and the phone is expected to be the company’s most expensive flagship to date. The Leica-tuned camera system and high-end specifications make it a highly anticipated device for smartphone enthusiasts.
