There is a small group of mobile phone users in the market who crave small – screen devices. However, it appears that the general mobile phone market has since moved past a mobile phone with a display of less than 6 inches. A netizen left a message to Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, that he wants a small – size mobile phone. In this regard, Lei Jun said: “Xiaomi 13 is already very good, the user group for mobile phones with small screens is too small. So, the sales volume cannot support the R&D costs of the flagship”.
Lei Jun also pointed out that the Xiaomi 13 is a small – size mobile phone with a super good hand feel. It has a four-narrow-edge screen, Leica triple camera, telephoto, IP68, etc. The size of the device is only 6.36 inches, the frame is only 1.61mm, and the screen-to-body ratio hits 93.3%. With its unique outer frame design, the visual of this device is better than that of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. Not only that, the Xiaomi 13 uses a new E6 luminescent material, the full screen brightness can reach 1200nit, and the peak brightness can reach 1900nit. Even under the same brightness, the power consumption is also reduced by 22% compared with the previous gen, Xiaomi 12.
In addition, the display of the small screen Xiaomi 13 has also been optimized for eye protection. It comes with front and rear dual light sensing and ambient colour temperature sensing. This can create the most comfortable visual environment for users under different light conditions. The built-in natural eye protection mode of the system can reduce the proportion of harmful blue light without changing the display colour.
Xiaomi will not release a small screen mobile phone
Small screen mobile phones have obvious advantages in terms of grip and portability. But it is a pity that the technological development and usage environment of phones today are doomed to the gradual disappearance of small screen mobile phones. At present, except for a few mobile phone brands such as Apple and Samsung, other brands basically no longer launch models with screen sizes of 6.1 inches and below.
With the hope that Xiaomi could launch a small screen mobile phone, some netizens asked Lei Jun. And Lei Jun responded … “Xiaomi 13 is already very good, exactly the same width as the iPhone 14, and the best balance between screen size and feel is found. The small size has an impact on the camera and battery life.”
We can see that from Lei Jun’s statement, Xiaomi will likely not launch a small screen mobile phone. Due to the small market, the sales of small screen mobile phones cannot be guaranteed. Also, their actual configuration and user experience will also be limited due to their size.
The current Xiaomi 13 may be the product that is closest to the “small-size mobile phone” on Xiaomi’s shelf. But even so, the screen size of Xiaomi 13 is still around 6.36 inches, which is not as small as those who love such devices will want. However, the sales of Xiaomi 13 seem to be very good. As a high-end product with a starting price of around 4,000 yuan ($577), Xiaomi 13 has not only achieved hot sales online but also gained the love of many users offline.

but miui14 is like tarbien problematic leh!!!
As a Xiomi user (tab5) i think the actual problem is mot 8n the size. But more on the problems they left the customers hanging once we bought yheir products. And this are not a trivial or something u just ignored, but mains one like now the stylus problems on pad5 after updates. Half of the actual usage of tablet gone when u took away the super ridiculous expensive stylus to connect to the tab.
Address the major problems first then u can see people’s going back to this brand like the old days
