On November 24, Beijing time, according to the report of Wall Street News , the Xiaomi 13 series has been officially mass-produced and will be released soon, but at the same time, the price of the Xiaomi 13 series may not be too cheap, with the price increase of 15% to 20%, which is about 4,500 yuan. After integrating information from multiple parties, we will conduct a simple analysis of this matter.
According to the leak, Xiaomi 13 series is likely to launch the new generation of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen2 processor in the world. This Soc is built on TSMC's 4-nanometer process. Whether it is performance or power consumption control, it will have a significant improvement compared to the previous generation. Xiaomi is the first batch of largest customers of Snapdragon . The outside world generally believes that only Xiaomi can fully exert the strength of Snapdragon 8Gen2.
Considering the global environment and many other factors such as exchange rate , the shipment price of Snapdragon 8Gen2 will definitely be higher than Snapdragon 8Gen1. It is reported that the amplitude will reach 20%. In other words, the increase in pricing of Xiaomi 13 series is largely due to the increase in supply chain prices. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Xiaomi 13 series has more material piles and is not launched for the cost-effectiveness of the "beggar and beggar" version.
There is a digital blogger who said that in addition to chip upgrades, the Xiaomi 13 series will also be equipped with the same Sony IMX989 main camera as Xiaomi 12S Ultra, and the entire series has an Leica telephoto lens. Such a high-spec camera material pile also costs a lot of money. It seems that Xiaomi is adding enough materials to make a real high-end machine.
In general, Xiaomi 13 series debuted as the latest generation of digital flagships, and it naturally attracted much attention from the outside world. Therefore, in addition to hard work on the appearance and feel that users pay attention to, hardware fullness, software tuning and extraordinary image performance are also needed. However, this is often accompanied by cost increases. Taking into account the comprehensive market factors, the price increase of Xiaomi 13 series this time should not be groundless, and everyone needs to be mentally prepared.
