In December, Xiaomi took the wraps off its latest pair of high-end smartphones, the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro. However, this reveal was only for the Chinese market and we are still waiting for these two to be introduced to the global markets. That may happen sooner, rather than later, now that the global models of these phones are starting to be certified in countries other than China.
The global Xiaomi 13 Pro has been spotted both in the database of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) as well as the Thai NBTC. The model number of this phone is 2210132G. The Xiaomi 13 was also certified by the NBTC, bearing the model number 2211133G. In both cases, the final “G” stands for “global,” in case you were wondering.
BIS and NBTC certifications for Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro
Based on these certifications, it looks like the vanilla Xiaomi 13 might not be making its way to India, at least not initially alongside its Pro sibling. It’s a strange strategy on Xiaomi’s part, but this is obviously just speculation at the moment, let’s wait for some official information before jumping to conclusions.
If they turn out to be identical in specs to their siblings meant for the Chinese market, here are the specifications of the two devices. The Xiaomi 13 comes with a 6.36-inch 1080×2400 120Hz OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, 8/12 GB RAM, 128/256/512 GB storage, a triple rear camera system (50 MP main with OIS, 12 MP) , 10 MP 3.2x optical zoom), a 32 MP selfie snapper and a 4,500 mAh battery with 67W wired charging, 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro shares many of these specs, but has a larger 6.73-inch 1440×3200 screen, a 4,820 mAh battery with 120W wired charging, and a completely different rear camera setup with a 50.3 MP main shooter with OIS, a 50 ultra-wide with autofocus for macros and a 50 MP 3.2x optical zoom lens.
