Xiaomi employees do not have a moment's rest. Engineers employed by the Chinese giant are working on several next-generation smartphones in the privacy of their studios. The work is at a very advanced stage - the Xiaomi 13 series may debut sooner than we expected.

Four high-end Xiaomi smartphones will debut next month
July will bring the premiere of as many as four high-end smartphones of the brand, including the absolutely top Xiaomi 12 Ultra (okay, 99%, because it is not supposed to support the flagship 120 W wired charging), which will be the first model of the manufacturer with a camera, refined in cooperation with the legend of German photography, Leica.
In addition, in July 2022, we expect the launch of three other high-end smartphones: Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi 12S Pro, and Xiaomi 12S Pro (Dimensity Edition). The latter, as its name suggests, will be equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity processor (specifically the Dimensity 9000 ), while the other two will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform. Xiaomi, like Vivo, will launch one model with two top systems from different manufacturers (see Vivo X80 Pro ).
It is worth recalling that Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro debuted on December 28, 2021. Exactly one year earlier, on December 28, 2020, Xiaomi Mi 11 had its premiere. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro model was presented only on March 29, 2021, as was the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.
Xiaomi, therefore, does not have a "rigid" release cycle like Apple, which in recent years has only once failed to present high-end iPhones in September. We are talking about the iPhone 12 series, which, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, debuted only in October.
Is the premiere of Xiaomi 13 faster than anyone expected?
Already such an early premiere of Xiaomi Mi 11 was a big surprise for us (as a reminder, Xiaomi Mi 10 debuted on February 13, 2020, which is only 10 months earlier). The manufacturer, however, does not intend to stop surprising us. Despite the fact that it is difficult to talk about surprises now since we know the premiere of the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro may be accelerated.
According to information provided by a reliable leakster from China, Xiaomi is already testing the MIUI system based on the new Android 13 on two new flagship smartphones. The informant notes that work is at a more advanced stage than a year ago in the case of the Xiaomi 12 series. Accordingly, Xiaomi is one month ahead, which suggests that the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro models may be unveiled in November 2022.

Digital Chat Station also states that the use of the SM8550 processor, i.e. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, is "inevitable". In addition, the informant mentions that Xiaomi may have higher hopes for the Xiaomi 13 Pro with a large 2K resolution display, i.e. the manufacturer expects that this model will be purchased more often by customers. At the moment, however, it is not known whether the Xiaomi 13 will receive the same small screen as the Xiaomi 12.
