Xiaomi officially confirmed there is no 13S version this year

Xiaomi is getting ready to launch the Xiaomi 13 series of smartphones globally. The devices will be launched through the MWC Barcelona 2023 event. However, it has been quite a while since the Xiaomi 13 series was officially launched in the Chinese market and users have been eagerly waiting for the launch of the device. Xiaomi 13S series in China. However, a company official has confirmed that they do not have any plans to launch the Xiaomi 13S series.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun recently stated on Weibo that the business has no plans for a half-generation upgrade for the Xiaomi 13, implying that there will be no Xiaomi 13s series.

To keep up with the latest trends and provide new features to consumers, Xiaomi often releases half-generation upgrades for their devices. These upgrades are usually denoted by an “s” after the original model number, such as the Xiaomi 12S. However, Xiaomi has chosen to break away from this trend to provide a more stable and consistent user experience.

According to Lei Jun, Xiaomi 13 has received positive feedback and the company feels it is still relevant in the market. Instead of introducing a half-generation upgrade, Xiaomi will focus on upgrading the current model and giving users a better experience. This means that an upgrade of the Xiaomi 13 will come later in the year and possibly the Xiaomi 13T..

Furthermore, Xiaomi’s approach could signal a broader shift in the smartphone business. Smartphones have now reached their saturation point and will likely have fewer upgrades than in the past. Not to mention that 2023 is predicted to be a difficult year for the smartphone sector when user demand declines.
