However, there will be some potentially underwhelming differences between the 13's global and Chinese editions.

Samsung Exynos chips have not been able to keep up with the fastest chips from Qualcomm, MediaTek and Apple in the high-end segment for years.

The Xiaomi 15 is touted as the iPhone 16 Pro's closest rival of the moment as it crams cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite performance into a 6.36-inch display form-factor.
