The Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro package is not bad. Together with the devices you get USB-C cables, a power supply (13 – 67 W, 13 Pro – 120 W), a case. As for the appearance, the body of the 13 Pro has been made glossy for some reason, which is not very practical. In both versions, the fingerprint scanner is located under the screen and works quite fast.

At the same time, the devices behave perfectly in games. There was no drop in maximum graphics settings for 30 minutes on Genshin Impact. Moreover, the FPS was sometimes even higher than 60 fps.
There are no global versions of smartphones yet, but that’s okay because you’ll have enough basic English to understand everything. You can also enable Google services easily.
