Earlier today, Lei Jun officially confirmed that there won’t be Xiaomi 13S series later this year. Followed by the announcement, a reliable leaker revealed that the company will not be releasing a MediaTek Dimensity version of Xiaomi 13 phones as well.
For the uninitiated, Xiaomi released the Xiaomi 12S series last year with Leica-tuned cameras and a better chip than in the original models. These handsets were accompanied by Xiaomi 12S Ultra. At the same time, the brand had also debuted a Dimensity variant of Xiaomi 12 Pro.
There were rumors of a Dimensity model of the Xiaomi 13 series a few months back. However, just as the lineup went official, the leaks about this other version of the handset subdued.
Now, Digital Chat Station discloses that the Dimenisty variant of the Xiaomi 13 series was canceled at the end of 2022. However, he hints at the launch of the Redmi K60 Ultra with a Dimensity chipset in the second half of 2023.
Historically, the Redmi K Ultra models have mostly featured MediaTek’s flagship chips. Hence, this rumored device could be an alternative for those waiting for the canceled Xiaomi 13 Dimensity version.
Last year’s Xiaomi 12 Pro Dimensity Edition debuted at a cheaper price than the original Xiaomi 12 Pro. That’s because it not only comes with a less-expensive Dimensity 9000 Plus chipset but also downgraded cameras and slower charging speed.
