Considering its close relationship with Qualcomm, it's no surprise that Xiaomi is billed to be one of the first OEMs to launch smartphones with Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro are expected to be unveiled sometime in November or December, and a new leak has now revealed important details of the Pro model.
As shared by leaker Yogesh Brar, the Xiaomi 13 Pro will debut with a 6.7-inch 2K LTPO display. Presumably, it will be a 120 Hz AMOLED panel. Under the hood will be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, aided by up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage.
Camera-wise, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is tipped to adopt the Xiaomi 12S Ultra's 1-inch type sensor, the IMX989. 50 MP sensors slot in beneath the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses, while the front of the phone houses a 32 MP selfie shooter. The Xiaomi 13 Pro will continue the company's camera collaboration with Leica which began with the Xiaomi 12S series earlier in the year. Xiaomi's second-gen in-house Surge C2 imaging chip is expected to make an appearance as well.
Lastly, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is expected to arrive with an Android 13-based MIUI 14 skin, a 4800 mAh battery, 120 W charging, and Xiaomi's in-house Surge P2 charging chip. It appears Xiaomi isn't keen on equipping its flagship phones with its new 210 W charging technology for now.
