During Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023, Xiaomi will unveil the Xiaomi 13 series of smartphones for the global market. A few days ahead of the conference, the company will be holding its keynote address a day earlier than usual.
A total of three Xiaomi devices are expected to be launched in the coming months, namely the Xiaomi 13, the Xiaomi 13 Pro, and the Xiaomi 13 Lite. Due to the fact that this is not an original phone, it differs from its predecessors in many ways.
Let’s see what’s known about the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Lite here in this article, as we take a look at everything we know so far.
Xiaomi 13 Lite Launch Date
During the day of February 26 (Sunday), there will be an official launch of the Xiaomi 13 Lite. At an event, which is scheduled to begin at 4 PM GMT+1, it is expected that it will be announced during the event.
YouTube and other platforms will be used to broadcast the live stream of the conference.
Xiaomi 13 Lite Specifications
As mentioned in the beginning, the Xiaomi 13 Lite is not an original smartphone. What we mean by this statement is that it is a rebranded device, unlike its predecessors.
The forthcoming Xiaomi 13 Lite is actually a rebadged version of Xiaomi Civi 2 from China. For the unaware, this handset went official in the company’s home country in late September.
Since the phone is on the market for months, we know everything about it. Additionally, leaks have also disclosed its features along with pricing.
The Xiaomi 13 Lite will be built around a 6.55-inch 10-bit curved AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The main highlight of this screen is that it will sport an iPhone 14 Pro-like pill-shaped (dynamic island) cutout at the top center.
