The bezels on all corners are slim for an immersive media-watching and gaming experience.

The volume rocker and power button are on the right edge on both models. The side frame has antenna cutouts for 5G network support. The USB Type-C port, speaker grills, and primary microphones are at the bottom. The back panel of the Xiaomi 13 has a square module to house triple camera sensors and an LED flash. While the Xiaomi 13 Pro has a similar square module but is only slightly bigger.

According to leaks, the Xiaomi 13 might come with a compact 6.2-inch 2K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, punch-hole cutout, HDR10+, DC Dimming, flat edges, and a protective layer. The handset could be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 SoC paired with Adreno GPU for graphics, up to 12GB RAM, and 256GB storage that might not be expandable. The phone is likely to run on Android 13-based MIUI 14 custom skin out of the box.

Moving to optics, the Xiaomi 13 will have triple cameras on the back, comprising a 50MP Sony IMX989 sensor with OIS and LED flash, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a macro unit.

On the other hand, the Xiaomi 13 Pro will have a slightly larger screen with curved edges with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Other areas where the Pro model would get upgrades are the cameras (both front and rear) and battery capacity. The Pro model would also get MIUI 14 skin, 5G support, and wireless charging support.
