You might be familiar with the panic that grips the heart of every smartphone user when they see that red color in the battery icon. Most phones die down quickly once their battery touches the 15% mark. However, Xiaomi claims its upcoming Xiaomi 13 Ultra will differ in that matter by lasting up to 60 minutes at even 1% battery. This improvement is thanks to the self-developed Surge P2 chip and Surge G1 chip.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra will get new battery chips

Xiaomi’s latest Ultra phone will debut on April 18 with a Leica-tuned camera setup. Ahead of the release, the company has been teasing the smartphone’s features and the latest teasers shed some light on its battery performance. As per the announcement, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will arrive with self-developed Surge P2 and Surge G1 chips.

The information about the Surge G1 chip is scarce but we do know that Surge P2 is the successor of the Surge P1 chip found on the Xiaomi 12 series. The company noted that P1 helps in better heat management and improving charging efficiency.

The new chips will improve the phone’s battery. Xiaomi claims the phone will last for up to 60 minutes or support a 12-minute phone call even when the battery level drops to just 1%. However, this will only apply when the device is in Emergency Battery Mode.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra is confirmed to debut as a remarkable camera phone. It will include a quad rear camera setup, featuring a 1-inch Sony IMX989 50MP primary lens and 50MP Sony IMX858 auxiliary lenses. The handset will get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC under the hood.
