Xiaomi has now officially confirmed the existence of its line-leading flagship for the year, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra will debut in China this month, equipped with Leica’s “most perfect” Summicron lens, and will also be available on the global market.
After months of rumors and leaks, it appears the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is finally at hand. While the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro debuted months ago as flagship phones in their own rights, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be Xiaomi’s range-topping smartphone for the year, and the company has now officially teased it for the first time.
Taking to its Weibo handle, Xiaomi has now confirmed the imminent release of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, with the flagship set to debut later this month:
“This time, we bring together the latest optical system solution for mobile imaging that has never been seen before, and Leica’s most perfect Summicron lens in the field of mobile imaging so far,” both companies shared in a joint statement. “Different mobile phone lenses from wide-angle to telephoto have achieved consistent excellent optical capabilities for the first time. This series of epoch-making technologies will be equipped with the new #13Ultra# launched globally, which will be released this month.”
That statement reveals three important details: continued collaboration with Leica across the main and zoom cameras, the use of Leica’s “most perfect” Summicron lens, and confirmation that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will launch globally. According to Xiaomi, the flagship will debut across the globe this month and will become widely available in the coming months.

I like tech, simple as. Half the time, you can catch me writing snarky sales copy. The rest of the time, I’m either keeping readers abreast with the latest happenings in the mobile tech world or watching football. I worked as both a journo and freelance content writer for a couple of years before joining the Notebookcheck team in 2017. Feel free to shoot me some questions on Twitter or Reddit if it so tickles thine fancy.
