Update:
The source (Kacper Skrzypek) now says that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra may launch in Japan though there’s not a MIUI firmware build for the region. This could be possible as Redmi 12C is sold in the region without a Japan-specific MIUI build.
On the other hand, he is 100% sure that the smartphone will not release in India, Indonesia, and Turkey.
Original Story:
Earlier today, Xiaomi revealed that it would unveil the much-awaited Xiaomi 13 Ultra this month. The company even confirmed that the smartphone would also be available globally.
Now, a reliable source discloses that the device will be limited to certain international markets. It will not be released in several regions where the company had previously sold Mi 11 Ultra.
According to MIUI tipster Kacper Skrzypek, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will not launch in India, Indonesia, Turkey, and Japan. There are no MIUI firmware builds for these regions.
The device has only five MIUI builds, and they are China, Global, EEA, Russia, and Taiwan. This means apart from the brand’s home market, the phone will be only sold in a select few Western countries.
This means interested customers in other regions will have to import the handset. It is worth noting that, unlike Apple, Xiaomi does not offer international warranties and repairs on its products. So importing an expensive smartphone is not recommended for most people.
As per leaks, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, as the vanilla and Pro models. But it will arrive with an even better Leica-powered camera system.
The phone is said to feature a 32MP front-facing camera and four 50MP cameras on the rear with wide, ultra-wide, telephoto, and periscope lenses. The primary sensor will be a 1-inch Sony IMX989, while the remaining three will be Sony IMX858.
The handset will arrive with up to 16GB LPDDR5x RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. Finally, it will boot Android 13-based MIUI 14 and will carry support for 90W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
