Xiaomi 13 series launch event back on track and set for this Sunday

  

What will be revealed during the Xiaomi 13 launch event?

We’re in for a slew of announcements and reveals by the end of the week! Among them, we’re expecting to see the latest rendition of Xiaomi’s UI – MiUI 14, their latest premium smartwatch, a budget pair of buds and a brand new product: a desktop mini PC.

Naturally, the main course of the event remains the Xiaomi 13 series. We’ve got a ton of rumors running around, but what we’re expecting is to see on both the vanilla and Pro is:

• The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
• Support for up to 100W wired and 50W wireless fast charging
• Flat AMOLED LTPO displays, with refresh rates up to 120hz
• The 1-inch Sony IMX989, which debuted on the Xiaomi 12S ultra and allows for much better contrast and vibrance
• Variants for 8GB and 12GB of RAM
• Storage options ranging from 128 to 256 for the vanilla, and up to 512 for the Pro

The Xiaomi Watch S2 is the sequel to their premium S line of smartwatches, which offers tons of training modes and a hardy battery life, but in a premium chassis, made of stainless steel and protected by sapphire glass.



Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun personally took the time to tease two variants of the watch – 42mm and 46mm. Both will come in black, but the smaller one will be available in gold too, while the bigger will have a silver offering. He also teased leather bands in either blue or brown color.

The Buds 4 seem to be intended as a budget counterpart to the Buds 4 Pro, which came out during the summer. While those didn’t provide any standout features, they had a solid set of expected functions, such as active noise canceling and wireless fast charging.



And the surprise of the event – Xiaomi’s first desktop PC, known as the Mini Host. Teased from the company's own laptop division, it is being described as a powerful productivity tool with an impressive, compact design. Given Xiaomi’s lengthy history as a laptop manufacturer, it’d be interesting to see how that experience translates into a Mini PC.



With the event being closer than expected, we won’t have to wait much longer until we can tell how many of those we’ve guessed are right. After just a few days, we will have all the juicy details about Xiaomi’s latest technical advancements.
