The Xiaomi 12 Pro was impressive and the Xiaomi 13 series is likely to be equally disruptive. It should be noted that Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro would bring major camera upgrades in partnership with German camera giant Leica.
According to hands-on photos of the Xiaomi 13 series in a report by Notebook Check, the Xiaomi 13 has a flat display and "extremely thin bezels", arguably thinner than those on the Xiaomi 13 Pro. However, the Xiaomi 13 Pro relies on a curved display, similar to the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Both smartphones have large camera housing with three lenses, although the Xiaomi 13 Pro’s spans even more of its back panel than the Xiaomi 13. In short, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is a larger version of the Xiaomi 13 in all senses, with the former appearing to have a significantly thicker camera housing too, the Notebook Check report added.
