In July 2022, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra flagship phone went official as the world’s first smartphone with a 1-inch camera sensor. The device is exclusive to the Chinese market, but the next Ultra model, which is tentatively called the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, will receive a global launch. Multiple reports have claimed that it will break cover in Q2 2023. However, there have been some rumors that its launch has been delayed. According to new details shared by a Chinese tipster (via.

Reports surrounding the device have revealed that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will have an E6 AMOLED display with curved edges. It is expected to retain the 1-inch Sony IMX989 50-megapixel camera that is available on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. It is likely to come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform.

The tipper also said that there is a Redmi event planned for April in China. However, it is unclear what devices will be unveiled through it. The publication speculates that the event could be the Redmi Note 12T series. Redmi unveiled the Redmi Note 11 series in China back in October 2021, and it unveiled the Redmi Note 11T Pro lineup in May 2022. So, it is likely that the Redmi Note 12T Pro series could be coming this April since the brand announced the Note 11 series in the Chinese market in October 2022.
