Xiaomi plans to launch the company's new flagship phone titled Xiaomi 13 in early December. Unfortunately the launch of the Xiaomi 13 was postponed due to the death of the Former General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin. The postponement of the Xiaomi 13 launch schedule was also officially announced by Xiaomi via the Weibo site. Although the reason for the delay was not explained in detail, this information was announced amid the sad news of Jiang Zemin. "We humbly announce that the launch of the Mi 13 series will be postponed. We will inform you of the latest launch schedule as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and support," said Xiaomi's statement, quoted from the Weibo microblogging platform via GSM Arena, Saturday (3/ 12/2022).
Originally, Xiaomi 13 was scheduled for release on December 1, 2022 China time. The Xiaomi 13 launch schedule has even been announced by Xiaomi on the Weibo site. On the same occasion, Xiaomi also plans to announce a new generation interface, MIUI 14 and other new devices. However, due to the passing of an important Chinese figure, the agenda failed to be carried out according to schedule.
Xiaomi 13 itself will be Xiaomi's new flagship, the successor to Xiaomi 12 which was released last December. Like its predecessor, the Xiaomi 13 will also come in two models, including the regular model and the Pro model, as Xiaomi shared a poster on Weibo some time ago. The two Xiaomi 13 models are predicted to use Qualcomm's latest chipset, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
According to reports circulating, the Pro model will be supported by 8 to 12 GB of RAM with 512 GB of storage media.
