To recall, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra was the first smartphone to leverage the brand's partnership with Leica but not make its way to international markets. However, the company has confirmed that its upcoming flagship will arrive on the international stage, which all but confirms the Xiaomi 13 Ultra India launch is on the cards.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra Specs (Expected)

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset that currently powers its 'Pro' counterpart. Accompanying the chip would be the latest LPDDR5X RAM (up to 16GB) and UFS 4.0 storage (up to 1TB). The phone will boot Android 13 with the MIUI 14 skin on top.

The phone is also expected to sport an E6 AMOLED display with LTPO technology, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a QHD+ resolution. The phone will likely use a 4,900 mAh battery with 90W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging support. It could also feature an IP68 rating and an in-display fingerprint reader.

On the back, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is expected to get a quad-camera setup with a 50 MP Sony IMX989 primary sensor, the same 1-inch sensor at the helm of the Xiaomi 13 Pro's triple-camera setup. The main camera will likely be accompanied by three more 50 MP cameras for the ultra-wide, telephoto, and periscope lenses. On the front, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is expected to use the same 32MP selfie camera as its 'Pro' counterpart.
