Xiaomi’s CEO confirmed the launch of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. The device will run on MIUI 14 based on Android 13 and have a 4900mAh battery. It will support 90W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. However, there has been no mention of a 1TB version of the device.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra has already obtained three certifications, including the Wireless Radio Transmission Equipment Model Approval Certificate, Telecom Equipment Access Permit, and China Compulsory Product Certification, and is expected to launch a pre-sale promotion soon.
