Just saw a message that the Xiaomi 13 series has finally been officially announced and will be released on December 1st.
As of now, the official configuration information has been released: MIUI 14, straight screen + visual four equal edges, Leica Image, full-series IP68, technology nano leather back cover, etc. The most eye-catching one is the extremely narrow and four-equilateral design of the Xiaomi 13 standard version.
Before this, many mobile phone manufacturers tried to implement a four-side equal width design, but either won the visual compromise on the battery capacity, or sacrificed the width of the left and right three-sides for the equal width of the four-side equal width, and lost the foundation. As of now, there is no relatively complete solution for the four-sided equal width of the front screen in the machine circle. Under the background of
, the extremely narrow four-equilateral design of Xiaomi 13 standard version is even more pioneering.
From a technical perspective, the difficulty of equal width on all sides mainly lies in the chin of the front screen. Narrow chins usually have to be rolled up by flexible OLED screens, with low yield and extremely high cost. Therefore, under the limitation of cost factors, the width of the chin becomes a "stumbling block" of equal width on all sides.
Theoretically, Android manufacturers can of course also achieve equal width of four sides. It is not difficult for Android manufacturers to make narrow borders. However, due to the limitation of the width of the chin, it is really not worth the loss to force the upper left and right frames to keep the chin in line with the opposite edges and reduce the screen-to-body ratio.
Xiaomi 13 standard version has an unprecedented chin width of 1.81mm and a border of 1.61mm, thus visually achieving extremely narrow four equal edges. We don’t know how the packaging technology used is used, but Xiaomi can indeed be said to have broken a record in the machine circle.
In addition, Xiaomi 13 standard version adopts a straight screen and right-angle edge design, which is definitely a classic return.
From the poster of Xiaomi's official IP68, we can clearly find the Easter egg about Xiaomi 13 standard version, which is this unusual border design.
Note that this is a right-angle border, and the side border is obviously made of metal, which reminds me of the very classic Xiaomi 4.
The Xiaomi 4 back then was also a design with right angle + metal integrated border, and the appearance is full of technological texture. This design is more stylized and further increases the recognition of the mobile phone. It is not only a tribute from Xiaomi, but also a major attempt by Xiaomi to explore the high-end design in recent years.
From Lei Jun 's speech on Weibo , we can know that this time the Xiaomi 13 series has great ambitions, and the standard version and the Pro version are not the hierarchical relationship between the Chinese cup and the big cup, but the juxtaposition relationship between the "two heroes". In other words, Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro will be differentiated as much as possible to cover different user groups.
It can be foreseeable that after the release of the first Xiaomi 13 standard version of domestic mobile phones, it will attract the attention of many facial control users. As long as the basic configuration is passed, the straight screen + four equal edges will become the ultimate sales password, and the Xiaomi 13 standard version is expected to become the Volkswagen model this year.
Of course, everything is just a big deal now. Compared to seeing how outstanding the Xiaomi 13 series is, I would rather listen to the design concept of the Xiaomi team this time, and how to achieve breakthroughs in such a harsh process?
All the answers, lock in the Xiaomi press conference on December 1~
