These devices have been launched only in the Chinese market for now. However, the global release won’t be far from now. Moreover, these are the first devices will be the first to receive the latest MIUI 14.

Thoughts
The designs of the Xiaomi 13 series are a downgrade from last year in my opinion. However, the flat display and symmetrical bezels are a welcome change. I term these designs as a downgrade because last year’s devices looked more professional and gave an executive feel. The camera bump was designed a lot better. However, still, these devices are highly-specced with premium features. With fast charging, high performance, flagship-grade cameras, and smooth 120Hz displays, both devices have all the top-end ingredients. Let us know your thoughts about the design changes and overall specifications of these devices.
