In December 2022, Xiaomi unveiled Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro flagship phones in China. Both phones haven’t release in markets outs of China. Earlier this month, the company sent out the MWC 2023 media invite earlier this month. It appears that the company may use the platform to showcase the Xiaomi 13 series. Ahead of the expected global launch, the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro have received some important certifications.
The NBTC authority of Thailand has certified the Xiaomi 13 (model number 2211133G) and Xiaomi 13 Pro (2210132G), according to reliable tipster Mukul Sharma. At the same time, the Indian BIS regulatory body has also approved the Xiaomi 13 Pro.
To recall, Xiaomi did not release the vanilla Xiaomi 12 in India, but only the Pro model was made available. Hence, it appears that this time around too, the company may skip the Xiaomi 13 and only release its Pro version in the Indian market.
