The Mobile World Congress 2023 is just around the corner. The Barcelona event has everyone on the edge of their seats as it stages the launch of multiple high-end, mid-range, and entry-level devices. We also expect to see the Xiaomi 13 Lite at the event, which will be a rebranded CIVI 2 from last year.
A German retailer recently added the 13 Lite to its e-store ahead of its launch and revealed all of the device’s specifications. Xiaomi quickly removed it from the retailer’s website, but a cached version of the page remains online. We now have every detail about the MI 13 Lite. Here’s a detailed breakdown, as well as the price and some renders.
Starting with the display, the 13 Lite has an AMOLED 6.55″ Full HD+ display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The panel has a peak brightness of 1000nits, as well as HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. A pill notch, Corning Gorilla Glass, and an under-screen fingerprint reader are among the features of the curved panel.
Xiaomi equips the newcomer with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. Because of the new and improved chipset, the 13 Lite will have incredible endurance and performance. The new addition to the Xiaomi price list will be powered by a standard 4500mAh cell energised by a 67W fast charging.
The retailer lists Android 12 x MIUI 13, which appears out of place for this model. However, the memory options are adequate, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB-256GB of storage. Users can expect the Mi 13 Lite to have a 50MP primary sensor, a 20MP Ultra-wide secondary sensor, and a 2MP macro tertiary sensor in the realm of photography. Moving forward, the pill shape on its header will house a 32MP sensor. According to rumours, it will be a dual 32MP camera with two apertures for selfies.
The Xiaomi 12 lite 128GB variant was to be sold for €499.90 (PKR 139,000) and the 256GB variant for €549.90 (PKR 153,000). For those looking for a more affordable option, the 10C provides basic features at a lower price point than the 12 Lite.
