Xiaomi has been lagging behind in USB technology, still sticking to the outdated USB 2.0 port on their phones. It’s quite puzzling why the brand hasn’t made the switch to USB 3.0, especially when other major players in the market like Samsung have already done so. However, there have been rumors swirling around since last year that Xiaomi has been testing USB 3.0 and it seems the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Ultra may be the first phone to feature this long-awaited upgrade.
According to a reliable source, Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Ultra will come equipped with a USB 3.x port. If this information turns out to be true, it will mark the first time a Xiaomi smartphone includes this particular USB standard. Currently, only some gaming phones from Xiaomi’s sub-brand Black Shark support the USB 3.0 standard.
This should mean a great deal for you as a consumer because USB 3.0 provides better speed and more efficient power management than USB 2.0. It also enables the capability to output high-resolution displays to HDMI. This can be particularly advantageous in various scenarios. For instance, when you want to present a slideshow or give a presentation on a larger screen without a separate adapter.
To remind you, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will debut in the global market this month. Just like last year’s Xiaomi 12S Ultra, the handset will offer a top-notch photography experience with a quad camera setup tuned by Leica. Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, the handset will support both wired and wireless charging. It could have up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage and run Android 13 out of the box.
