Double 11 was launched in full swing. Xiaomi performed strongly on Double 11 last year. new retail omni-channel payment amount exceeded 19.3 billion, and once again won the top sales of Android phones on the entire platform. This year, Xiaomi not only released the Redmi Note12 series to help, but most of its models have discounts. Even the new Xiaomi 12S series released in July has also been reduced in price, with the highest discount reaching 600 yuan.
But now is not a good time to buy the Xiaomi 12S series, because in about a month, the Xiaomi 13 series will be coming again. Qualcomm will release Snapdragon 8Gen2 in mid-November, and the Xiaomi 13 series will most likely get the global first of this flagship chip and will debut around the end of November.
As Xiaomi’s most important digital flagship series every year, the Xiaomi 13 series has been fully exposed, and there are still many surprises.
screen: super narrow four sides, surpassing Samsung
Android phone screen is getting bigger and bigger, Apple also cut off the mini series this year, making small-screen flagship a thing of the past. A large screen means higher power consumption. With a large capacity battery, the weight of the phone will increase, so now the thin and thin screen phone is almost out of print.
Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12S are one of the few small-screen Android flagships on the market. Xiaomi 13 will continue to move in this direction to create differentiated selling points. The screen size of Xiaomi 12/12S is 6.28 inches, and the weight is about 1180 grams of html. The screen of Xiaomi 13 is still around 6.3 inches, and the weight will remain around 180 grams.
The small screen is one aspect, and the quality must be strong. 2K+LTPO+high-frequency dimming screens are already blooming everywhere, and it is not enough to just make a fuss about parameters. Xiaomi 13 will focus on visual effects, using four-sided extremely narrow frames that are narrower than Samsung S21 series, which is quite amazing, and it returns to the straight screen according to the requirements of Mi fans. Just try it for 3 minutes and you will fall in love with this phone.
Xiaomi 13 Pro's screen is quite average, with a hyperbolic screen design, using Samsung's latest E6 luminescent material, 2K resolution + LTPO adaptive refresh rate + 2160Hz PWM dimming, winning by stacking materials.
lowers IMX989 one-inch large-sole main camera, as well as ultrasonic fingerprint
Xiaomi 12S Ultra is equipped with the 1-inch large-sole main camera IMX989 jointly developed by Xiaomi and Sony , and coupled with the tuning of Leica , the image performance has been greatly improved, making this phone among the annual image flagships. Now Xiaomi's exclusive period for IMX989 has ended, and the upcoming image flagship of its competitors will soon use this super-large bottom camera.
In order to enhance the competitiveness of the Xiaomi 13 series, Xiaomi will lower the main camera of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra to the Xiaomi 13 Pro. Anyway, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will not be released this year, and there will definitely be an upgraded version of IMX989 next year.
The rear main camera of Xiaomi 13 will also be upgraded, from Xiaomi 12S's IMX707 to Sony's IMX8 series sensor, with a pixel still 50 million, and the photosensitive unit will be larger than the IMX707.
Xiaomi 12S series is the first generation series model cooperated by Xiaomi and Leica. In the second series model of Xiaomi 13 series, the running-in between the two parties will inevitably be better. The training and algorithms are more mature and outstanding than the Xiaomi 12S series. With two new main cameras with extremely high quality, the imaging strength of Xiaomi 13/13 Pro is still worth looking forward to, especially Xiaomi 13 Pro. In terms of battery life, Xiaomi 13 Xiaomi 13 Pro has not improved much, and the Redmi Note12 Exploration version of 210W fast charging is out of reach. According to the network access information, Xiaomi 13 has a 67W wired charging + 50W wireless charging + 4500mAh battery, and Xiaomi 13 Pro is a combination of 120W wired charging + 50W wireless charging + 4700mAh battery, which is not much different from the Xiaomi 12S series.
In addition, there are reports that the Xiaomi 13 series may use ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, and will launch a new generation of ultrasonic fingerprint technology first, with the recognition area and recognition rate larger than those used by competitors. With the cooperative relationship between Xiaomi and Qualcomm, I believe it is not difficult.
price: Continue to convert
After hitting the high-end market, the price of Xiaomi digital series has come from 2999 to 3999. What remains unchanged is the still excellent hardware configuration.The overall environment is not good. Although the Xiaomi 13 series has many upgrades, Lei Jun dare not easily raise the price of it. After all, Xiaomi has not gained a foothold in the high-end market, and its brand power cannot support the high premium for the time being.
It is expected that the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro will be similar to the Xiaomi 12/12S series priced, with Xiaomi 13 being around 3999 yuan and Xiaomi 13 Pro being around 4999 yuan. The former is a small screen flagship with Snapdragon 8Gen2 + IMX8 series new main camera + extremely narrow bezels, and the latter is a bucket flagship with Snapdragon 8Gen2 + E6 ceiling-level screen + 1-inch IMX989 super large bottom main camera. Both phones have excellent cost performance and can become "the first Snapdragon 8Gen2 mobile phone for young people."
Android phone replacement is really fast. In about a month, the Xiaomi 13 series will meet us. After the Xiaomi 13 series was fully exposed, do you think the Xiaomi 12S series will be no longer delicious in an instant?
