With the Xiaomi 13 series launch being just around the corner, the company has began taking reservations on major e-commerce platforms like Xiaomi Mall, Tmall, and even JD.com. These reservations has prospective buyers deposit a hefty fee, which some fans are gladly paying.
For those unaware, the Chinese tech giant was set to launch its latest generation of flagship smartphones at the start of this month. However, the company delayed the launch for a seemingly unknown reason. The announcement date has yet to be officially revealed but the pre-orders for the device are already live on Chinese websites for a deposit fee. This fee is a bit high, but it appears that fans of the brand are paying the hefty sum before the company has even revealed the official pricing of the Xiaomi 13 series.
Looking at some online listings, we can see that the smartphone maker is asking for a hefty deposit fee of around 999 Yuan (roughly 142 US Dollars) for the Xiaomi 13 Pro model. Unfortunately, the company has yet to hint at the price tag of the upcoming flagship handsets. Although previous rumors had hinted at the pricing for the 13 lineup being higher than its last generation of 12 series models. The Xiaomi 13 series was set to be the first smartphone to release launch with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. However, due to the delay, the company had to let the Vivo X90 Pro+ model become the world’s first to debut the chipmaker’s latest flagship chipset in a smartphone.
