MWC 2023: Armed with a Leica-branded camera, Xiaomi 13 Pro goes global

Xiaomi 13 Pro, co-engineered with the iconic German camera-maker Leica, has launched at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023, marking a significant global debut for the Chinese smartphone manufacturer. This is the second Xiaomi flagship with a ‘Leica’ camera at the back. But last year’s Xiaomi 12S was limited to China, and that narrative is changing in 2023. With the Xiaomi 13 Pro, the company hopes to showcase its own prowess in the premium smartphone segment, especially in the camera department, where the brand hasn’t quite won the prestige that Samsung or Apple tend to enjoy.
