Xiaomi 13 series is in the works, and it’s expected to feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 flagship chipset. Last year, in December, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 12 series of flagship phones. A new leak claims that the Chinese manufacturer will announce the Xiaomi 13 series earlier than its predecessor.

A reliable Chinese tipster has been revealing details about the Xiaomi 13 series in bits and pieces. Last year, the company unveiled three devices, namely, the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12X, and Xiaomi 12 Pro, in December. At present, it appears that the company has plans to launch at least two models, namely the Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro, by the end of this year.

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 13 series is being tested with Android 13. He added that the progress is one month earlier than last year. This indicates that the Xiaomi 13 series may debut in November. Since the Xiaomi 13 lineup is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, it is likely that Qualcomm may announce its new chipset in November. As usual, readers are advised to take the information on the early arrival of the Xiaomi 13 series and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with a pinch of salt.

Recent reports have revealed that the Xiaomi 13 has a ‘Nuwa’ codename, and it carries a 2211133C model number. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is said to have a ‘Fuxi’ codename, and it has a 2210132C model number.

The Xiaomi 13 could be a compact flagship-like its predecessor. Both models are expected to feature a curved-edge OLED display with a centered punch-hole and narrow bezels. Both models are also expected to feature Leica-engineered triple rear cameras.
