The company Xiaomi officially decided at the end of February 2023 to present its new flagship series Xiaomi 13 for global customers as well. Even the base model Xiaomi 13 will impress with fairly compact dimensions, high performance, and fast charging—however, in Europe it comes with a higher selling price.
Unbelievable coupon, express delivery!
The official global version of the latest Xiaomi 13 smartphone has appeared in stock again after a few months. It’s available from the marketplace AliExpress, or more precisely from a verified seller, Mi 1 Store, which ships from its French warehouse and states delivery within 5 days.
Currently on sale is the 8 GB RAM and 256 GB internal storage memory version. Since this is the official global smartphone version, the system includes all languages, including Slovak and Czech, and the smartphone supports complete networks across Europe, including B20 LTE.
How long will this smartphone receive software support? Xiaomi 13 5G promises 5 years of security updates until 2028 and 3 significant Android system updates (theoretically Android 16).

Xiaomi 13: 6,36″ 120 Hz AMOLED and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
Compact flagship smartphones are no longer a given. This applies to both the Chinese and the European market. That’s where Xiaomi 13 comes in with its glass-metal body, dimensions 152.8 x 71.5 x 7.98 mm, and an excellent weight of just 185 grams. The design is also water- and dust-resistant, even with IP 68 certification(it can withstand a depth of 1.5 meters under water for 30 minutes).
On the front, there’s a top-tier 6.36″ AMOLED display of the Samsung E6 type, with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and a high refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, as well as HLG technology and an ambient color temperature sensor. The maximum brightness reaches 1200 nits(“peak” brightness is up to 1900 nits).
If you were worried that the global version would come with some performance compromises, that’s not the case. This version also features the high-end eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, made using TSMC’s 4 nm manufacturing process. It’s paired with 8 GB of RAM LPDDR5X memory, along with a UFS 4.0 storage chip with a capacity of 128 GB. The graphics chip has also been upgraded—it's now Adreno 740.

50 MPx Leica camera, 67 W charging
The back is home to a square camera module. It’s a significant design change compared to the previous generation and also has its functional side. Once again, Xiaomi has partnered with the well-known German brand Leica. The setup includes a main sensor of up to 50 MPx with the Hyper OIS technology and PDAF autofocus (f/1.8, 23 mm, 1/1.49″, 1.0 µm).
You’ll also get a 10 MPx sensor with an f/2.0 aperture as a telephoto lens with a focal length of up to 75 mm, which also offers optical stabilization and 3.2x optical zoom. The ultra-wide sensor then comes with 12 MPx (f/2.2) and a viewing angle of up to 120°. The smartphone supports 8K video recording at 24 fps. The front camera has 32 MPx, HDR, and is housed in a cutout in the display.
Excellent connectivity for this device includes Wi-Fi 6e, as well as Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, GLONASS, or an NFC chip for mobile payments via Google Pay. The fingerprint scanner is optical and located under the surface of the screen, in its lower part. The smartphone does not include a 3.5 mm audio connector, and it also doesn’t offer storage expansion via a microSD card.
Among the other features, we can mention powerful stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support and an integrated Dolby Head Tracking technology. Plus, an infrared sensor for controlling home electronics, or a 4500 mAh battery. It supports up to 67 W fast wired charging, 50 W fast wireless charging, and also 10 W reverse charging—for example, to charge accessories.
