The Xiaomi 13 Lite was revealed by the Mysmartprice page. They found the phone in the Google Play Console database.
In this database, Xiaomi 13 Lite has the code Ziyi. The code name was previously used by Xiaomi Civi 2 which was released in China in September 2022.
Even the appearance and specifications of the two phones are similar. It could be that the Xiaomi 13 Lite is the global version of the Xiaomi Civi 2.
Based on the Google Play Console, the Xiaomi 13 Lite is supported by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset which carries the Adreno 644 GPU. This phone will be embedded with 8GB of RAM and will run MIUI 12.
Xiaomi 13 Lite will carry a Full HD + screen with a density of 440 ppi. The edges of the screen are curved.
In addition, there is a punch hole in the middle of the top screen where the selfie camera will nest. Unlike Civi 2, which has a dual selfie camera, Xiaomi 13 Lite only has one.
While the back panel has a rectangular camera module housing three sensors. There is no information regarding the size of the embedded sensor.
There is no leak yet when Xiaomi 13 Lite will be announced. It could be at the MWC 2023 event, because the company made by Lei Jun has confirmed itself to be present at the event which took place in Barcelona.
The plan is that the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro will make their global debut at MWC 2023.
