New details about the Xiaomi 13 Ultra camera

The Xiaomi 13 series is expected to make its debut soon with two models, a standard model and a pro. However, an Ultra variant will also be unveiled later, with a camera that is expected to steal the show!

More specifically, the new Xiaomi 13 Ultra will have four lenses in its rear camera module, but the main sensor (Sony IMX989) will remain at one inch, as on the 12S Ultra. It is expected to feature advanced stabilisation that simulates the effect of a gimbal. All lenses will feature PDAF and dTOF technology. Other details remain unknown for now.

When is the debut expected?

We expect a debut around Chinese New Year, as the company has yet to unveil the series' flagship duo, the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro. The launch event for these devices had been scheduled for 1 December, but was postponed to a later date following the death of former Chinese Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin.

For now, the series will include two models: a standard model and a Pro, both featuring AMOLED E6 displays with exceptionally slim bezels. They will have metal frames and Leica-branded cameras. The Pro version will feature a one-inch 50 Megapixel sensor from Sony (presumably the IMX989). Inside, we will find Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage
