According to Xiaomi, it will release the global version of the Xiaomi 13 / 13 Pro at MWC 2023. The company also confirmed the specific launch date. A recent teaser reveals that Xiaomi will launch these two mobile phones in Europe on February 26th. In addition to these two models, European retailer Cyberport recently sneaked another Xiaomi device into the shelves. This device is the Xiaomi 13 Lite which also comes with a product page.
It appears that the info is confidential because the retailer has since taken down the product page. However, users could view a cached version through Google Cache (1) (2). According to the info displayed on the page, the starting price of the Xiaomi 13 Lite is 499 Euros. This device will come with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. However, the company will also launch a 25gGB storage version that will cost 549 Euros.
Under the hood, the Xiaomi 13 Lite will come with a mid-range chip, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip. In the camera department, this device will come with a 50MP main camera, an 8MP shooter as well as a 2MP sensor to complete the triple rear camera setup. On the front, this device will come with a 32MP selfie camera. The Xiaomi 13 Lite will come with a 6.55-inch 1080P AMOLED screen with a pixel density of 402 ppi and a refresh rate of 120Hz.

Xiaomi 13 Lite 5G uses a Dynamic Island display
The release of Dynamic Island with the iPhone 14 Pro model rocked the industry. One thing that became quickly clear after the feature entered the open was that Android would release a copy. Now, Dynamic Island can be played on your Android device thanks to apps. But that’s assistance from a third entity is not always smooth. What about the Android smartphone’s first-party Dynamic Island feature? In any case, we earlier learned that Realme was developing a device with the feature built-in. However, the Xiaomi 13 Lite 5G would actually be the first, as we have now found.

Xiaomi 13 Lite 5G Brings Back Dynamic Island
It’s crucial to keep in mind that the Xiaomi 13 Lite 5G has not yet been released. However, we did learn a lot about the features the phone will have. Even though there are reports that it will be a remade phone, Xiaomi is undoubtedly going to build something new. The gadget might be a rebranded variant of the Xiaomi Civi 2, according to the rumours. Even if that were the case, the Civi 2 is not sold anywhere else in the world. Therefore, there is nothing incorrect if Xiaomi needs to rebrand the product as 13 Lite in order to debut it globally.
The Xiaomi 13 Lite will be unveiled at the MWC 2023, which is a crucial component. Plus, Dynamic Island will make the most of the AMOLED display’s complete capabilities. But it won’t be the same as the one on iPhones. Xiaomi has not yet created software that is capable of performing all the tricks Apple’s Dynamic Island is capable of. Even so, there is a chance that Xiaomi will create something for the Xiaomi 13 Lite before it goes on sale.
Xiaomi 13 Lite appears in IMEI database
Xiaomi, a Chinese maker, is developing a few phones. Before the year is over, we anticipate the brand to debut a few devices. According to recent info from official listings, some Xiaomi products may shortly go on sale. Xiaomi 13 Lite, according to PriceBaba, just lately showed up in the IMEI directory. Its model number is 2210129SG, according to the verification details. This Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE is the same model that was found in the IMEI directory last year
Interestingly, there are reports that the Xiaomi Civi 2 (2209129SC), which Xiaomi launched in China in September, is actually the same as the Xiaomi Mi 12 Lite 5G NE. Early reports indicate that this model may launch any time soon. However, the company is yet to have an official launch date. Now, whether it is the Xiaomi 13 Lite or the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE that will be a rebranded Xiaomi Civi 2 remains to be seen. It is important to note that Xiaomi’s Civi line of mobile devices is typically available only in the Chinese market. Considering that the Xiaomi 13 Lite may copy the Xiaomi Civi 2, let us take a look at the specs of the Xiaomi Civi 2.
