Good news for Android fans as Xiaomi has officially put its 13 Series of phones on sale for international users. The Chinese mobile maker has teamed up with Leica to bring powerful cameras to its latest flagship smartphones, picking up where Huawei left off in terms of that particular photography partnership. The range includes the 13 and 13 Pro, both of which have the Leica-powered triple lens system, while the 13 Lite comes with a dual 50-megapixel wide and 32-megapixel ultrawide system. The 13 and 13 Pro also take the chip spec up a notch, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, compared with the Lite’s Snapdragon 7, and superfast charging that will see the Pro fully charged in less than 20 minutes and the regular Xiaomi 13 charged to 100 per cent in 36 minutes. Add in some pro display options and you have a series of phones that are worth considering.
