While the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be launching globally on 12 June 2023, it seems that the Malaysian market will also get it at a later date. In an official Facebook post by Xiaomi Malaysia, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is scheduled to arrive on 20 June 2023.

Previously, we reported that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra may be released globally on 8 June. Well, we’re a bit off on that one as the company CEO Lei Jun just announced that the smartphone will be launched for the global market on 12 June.

First launched in April 2023, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is a flagship device with impressive cameras. So those interested might want to start saving because it could launch in Malaysia in the coming weeks. In fact, the global release is happening in a few days.

Xiaomi officially released their top-of-the-line Xiaomi 13 Ultra smartphone recently featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, up to 16GB RAM, up to 512GB storage and a 5000 mAh battery that supports 90W fast charging, 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse charging. Looking premium with a leather-like backside that is both anti-bacterial and IP68 water resistant, the phone has flat sides and rounded corners, and a price tag from 5999 CNY (~RM3868).

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is going to be unveiled real soon but before that happens, Xiaomi actually unveiled how the phone looks with some promotional images. If you can't wait any longer, you can read below to read what it has to offer.

Not much was known about the Xiaomi 13 Ultra when Xiaomi teased it late last year. We know that it has a periscope camera that would "shock everyone", and a main camera with a large aperture. But we weren't didn't have much info about the other cameras until recently.

While the Xiaomi 13 series was officially released already, the much rumoured top-of-the-line model, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra has apparently had its prices leaked in China. Now, these are definitely not official but the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage version could go for 6299 CNY (~RM4037), while the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage version is expected at 6799 CNY (~RM4357). The 16GB RAM + 512GB storage variant could be coming in at 7499 CNY (~RM4806).

Earlier this month, we reported that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra was spotted on TENAA, meaning that it may be launched soon. While we still haven’t gotten the exact release date, the device is now confirmed to be arriving this month.

The Xiaomi 13 series is not done yet with just the vanilla and Pro variants. Somewhere next year, the Chinese tech giant is expected to add an even more powerful member to the lineup, and it's the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. Before it happens, new information arrived saying the device would feature an impressive periscope zoom camera.
