Under the hood the device is powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. The device comes with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
The handset features a 50MP (Sony IMX707 sensor) primary camera, 50MP ultra-wide lens and 50MP 2x telephoto camera.

In the Xiaomi 13 Pro, no doubt, we can see some interesting upgrades such as the chipset, which is Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, improved battery, and of course, the Leica-equipped camera setup, among several others.
However, at the same time, the newly launched smartphone costs much more than its predecessor, as it starts at Rs 79,999 in India.
Also, it should be noted that the MIUI 14, which is now official, is already available for the Xiaomi 12 Pro.
It has features such as connected devices, which allow users to instantly transfer files between various Xiaomi devices, create large folders, on-device text recognition, and rarely used app compression to save system space.
Looking at the price of recently launched flagships, the Xiaomi 12 Pro is a value-for-money device when sold at a discount.
Otherwise, Xiaomi 13 Pro can be a better option if the device’s hefty price tag does not bother you.
