Back in December 2023, Xiaomi debuted its new flagship devices in China dubbed the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro. Rumors suggest that these devices could debut globally in the coming months. Through a Google Play Console listing, we also know that Xiaomi will be launching another device in the lineup called the Xiaomi 13 Lite. This will be a rebranded Xiaomi CIVI 2.
Ahead of the global launch, tipster @billbil-kun has leaked the European pricing, availability, and configurations for the Xiaomi 13 Lite. The leaker reports that the Xiaomi 13 Lite will debut in Europe alongside the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro. Currently, rumors suggest that these devices will debut at the MWC 2023 event in Barcelona, however, pre-orders will begin on March 8.
The leaker claims that the Xiaomi 13 Lite will be sold for €549 with 256GB storage, which is not typical for Xiaomi’s mid-range smartphones which usually have 128GB storage. Hence, it’s possible that €549 is the priciest variant of the Xiaomi 13 Lite. As for color options, the device will come in light blue and black colors.

As the Xiaomi 13 Lite is a rebranded version of the Xiaomi CIVI 2, we expect it to feature the exact spec sheet.
