If there is a design language that is recognizable by millions, then it is the language of Apple. Among the many mobile phones, you can always clearly distinguish the iPhone from the group. Currently, looks like it will cost you a little moreand this is what the new Xiaomi 13 recently unveiled by the company comes with looks it reminds us, and a lot, of the best of Apple.
Xiaomi has chosen a rather strange strategy for its new series of flagship devices. Bye Xiaomi 13 has decided to follow the design of the iPhone 14 Pro. – including a bluish color, clearly inspired by the Sierra Blue from the previous generation -; Xiaomi 13 Pro went the other way. The latter, in addition to being a more powerful model, also has a slightly different design, much more similar to other bets seen among Android devices in previous years.
Xiaomi 13 is housed in a stainless steel frame with flat edges. very similar to what has already been seen with the iPhone 12 Pro generation and beyond. However, this is where the similarities end, since on the front we will not find Dynamic Island, although they tried, but a 6.36-inch screen with perforations to make room for a small front camera. The panel is slightly larger than the iPhone 14 Pro, but smaller than the Max variant.
Although the camera module also reminds us of the location chosen by Apple for its iPhone 14 and previous models., the surface of the back has slight differences. While Apple phones prefer a flat glass design, the Xiaomi 13 flexes slightly when it comes into contact with the flat frame. In addition, it has a leather-like material.
Xiaomi 13 only immortalizes the never ending story on Android
It appears that Android phone makers have a clear roadmap to follow. First, they often make fun of Apple’s designs in their advertisements. Later, oddly enough, they copy the same thing, and they offer it as the best design ever made. This Xiaomi 13 is no different in this respect.
But Xiaomi has also received ridicule from the users themselves for this situation. After all, this is not the first time that they have been addicted to the source material in the design workshop of the company. With Mi Pad 5 Pro, the company couldn’t be more like Apple’s iPad Pro because it would probably border on illegal. Even wallpaper with promotional images reflects a clear intent.
Be that as it may, the company still rivals Cupertino, at least in the eyes of the public. Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, commented in an interview that the company has plans to “compete with Apple”. In fact, his intention to face rivals from Cupertino is so great that for him this type of competition should be treated as a “war not for life, but for death”. A little extreme, but you get the point…
Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro will go on sale in China on December 14th.. Its availability in Spain has not yet been announced, but it is still known that the mobile phones will have different configurations and prices, which will not fall below 545 euros for the standard version and 681 euros for the Pro version. the highest configuration of each will cost approximately 682 euros and 858 euros respectively.
