Xiaomi 13 Lite Price in Nepal: Specifications, Availability


Xiaomi’s event at MWC 2023 saw the launch of the company’s latest flagship offerings – the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro. The lineup has also gained a new member, the Xiaomi 13 Lite. Successor to last year’s 12 Lite, the smartphone brings quite a few improvements, including the dual selfie camera. Here, we will walk through the specs, features, availability and expected price of the Xiaomi 13 Lite in Nepal.

Xiaomi 13 Lite Overview:

For starters, the 13 Lite is heavily based on the Xiaomi Civi 2, which is an China-exclusive phone. Thus, everything from the design to the specifications of these smartphones is nearly identical. Although there are a few minor differences too.

Design

Anyway, staying true to the name, the Xiaomi 13 Lite brings a lightweight and slim body measuring 171 grams and 7.23mm, respectively. The front and rear also have curves all around to make the smartphone fit snugly in your hands.

Xiaomi 13 Lite Design and Display

The design difference between this and its predecessor is that it has two cameras on the front in a pill-shaped cutout. There are also two LED flashes on each side, dubbed “Xiaomi Selfie Glow” which will contribute for bright photos and videos, especially at night.

Cameras

Talking of the sensors here, one is a 32MP ultrawide lens with a 100° field-of-view (FoV), and the other is an 8MP depth sensor. The latter will be used for natural-looking bokeh effects in portraits, while the 13 Lite uses the wider FoV of the main lens for a feature called Dynamic Framing.

It works in a manner similar to Apple’s center stage, which intelligently detects faces and keeps them in the frame. The camera has three zoom levels for this: 0.6x, 0.8x, and 1x. By the way, this setup is a bit different to that of Civi 2 as it features dual 32MP lens.

On the back, you get an array of three cameras, headlined by the 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor. This sensor has seen the light of the day in a number of premium phones, including the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition, and Oppo Reno 8 Pro, to name a few.

According to Xiaomi, this 1/1.56″ sensor with 1.0m pixels and f/1.8 aperture can capture 123% more light than the 108MP sensor with f/1.9 aperture on last year’s 12 Lite. However, the 8MP ultrawide lens with 119° FoV and 2MP macro camera remains unchanged from last year.

Display

Moving on, here you get a 6.55” curved AMOLED screen with 12-bit color depth and Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ support. It’s a Full HD resolution panel with brightness of 1000 nits (peak), and Xiaomi has included 1920Hz PWM dimming to combat screen flickering. Not to forget, it refreshes at 120Hz and has a touch sampling rate of 240Hz.

Xiaomi has protected the display with Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and the phone has an IP53 rating for dust and water resistance. Although the back is also made of glass, it does not have any layer of protection, and the frames are made of plastic.

Performance

In charge of things inside is a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, which as per Xiaomi, offers 20% improvement in GPU and 30% in AI performance. Despite the phone’s slim form and size, the brand has still managed to fit in a custom stainless steel vacuum chamber occupying 2360mm² for improved thermals.

Xiaomi 13 Lite Cooling

Memory-wise, you get to choose between 8/128GB and 8/256GB variants. Moreover, the smartphone boots on MIUI 14 that is still based on Android 12.

Others

Fueling the Xiaomi 13 Lite is a 4500mAh battery that charges via a 67W adapter which is included in the box. For audio, you get stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support. WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, 4G (LTE), and 5G are among the connectivity options.

There is also NFC support, though its availability may vary by region. For biometrics, you get an in-display fingerprint sensor.
