Xiaomi 13, iQOO 11 Launch Events Called Off

Xiaomi and iQOO had scheduled to launch their highly anticipated flagship smartphones on December 1 and December 2, 2022, respectively. Fans were waiting with bated breath for these devices. But to their disappointment, both brands called off their respective events, just a day before the launch.

 

This news comes after the demise of the former leader of China, Jiang Zemin, who passed away at the age of 96. Zemin served as general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party from 1989 to 2002, as chairman of the Central Military Commission from 1989 to 2004, and as president of China from 1993 to 2003.

 

Xiaomi took to Weibo, the Chinese microblogging website, that the company will postpone the launch of the Xiaomi 13 series. However, Xiaomi hasn't revealed the new launch date for its new smartphones. Similarly, Vivo's sub-brand, iQOO, was supposed to launch the iQOO 11 series and the iQOO Neo 7 SE smartphones but has also delayed the launch.

For those not in the know, the Xiaomi 13 series will replace the Xiaomi 12 series and will comprise the vanilla Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro. The iQOO 11 series is also expected to come with two models initially, the iQOO 11 and the iQOO 11 Pro. Let's have a look at their specifications below.
