According to a report from last Thursday, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will cost €1,499 ($1,602) in Europe. Now the first reports to the contrary are coming. Dutch retailer Belsimpel and its German subsidiary Gomibo are offering the upcoming Xiaomi smartphone for €1,299 ($1,387) in the Netherlands, €1,277 in Germany and €1,320 in Ireland. It is the EU model and delivery takes 5 to 7 working days.
The new price is a lot more competitive, especially considering the 12/512 GB model comes with a 90W charger, cable and protective case in the box. It’s also the first true Xiaomi flagship with official international availability since the Mi 11 Ultra. In terms of RRPs, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is even significantly cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (€1,460 in the same configuration) and the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max (€1,696 with 512 GB).
Xiaomi Mix Fold3 with UD camera and 50 watt wireless charging
Xiaomi’s Mix Fold series is expected to get a new member this summer with the Mix Fold 3. The upcoming Xiaomi phone is rumored to have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a periscope camera, as well as a waterproof build with an corresponding IP rating. Trusted tipster Digital Chat Station has now shared his latest insider info on the Mix Fold 3. According to DCS, the Fold 3 gets an under-display camera (UD) for the foldable main display. The feature was missing in the first two generations of the Xiaomi foldable.
The new leak confirms an April report that also put a waterproof build and 5x periscope lens into play. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 50 watt fast wireless charging were also already an issue. What is new is that Xiaomi may also be working on a foldable smartphone with the Explorer Edition concept. The Explorer Edition could be presented together with the Mix Fold 3, but concrete details are still missing. Xiaomi is expected to launch the Mix Fold 3 in August.
