Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro officially confirmed for imminent global release

Xiaomi finally debuted the Xiaomi 13 series in China yesterday, along with a slew of other mobile devices and MIUI 14. Unlike last year when the company launched the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 12X, only the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro were unveiled in China yesterday, and official communication has now confirmed a global release for both phones.

As shared by Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun on Twitter yesterday, the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro are both billed to launch globally in the future. "We are going to launch Xiaomi 13 Series for our international markets soon! Stay tuned," the executive posted, along with an image of the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro.

Months ago, Lei Jun also confirmed that the company's next "Ultra" model, expected to be the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will also be sold on the global market. That would mean the Xiaomi 13, 13 Pro, and 13 Ultra all get global releases, which would be the first time that happens since the first "Ultra" phone, the Mi 10 Ultra, debuted back in 2020. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra was exclusive to China, for example.

In any case, it's unknown when exactly the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro will arrive on the global market. If previous generations, a global launch event can be expected sometime in February or March. There's a chance the duo could be joined by the Xiaomi 13 Ultra then, too.
