There is no word yet on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra launch date in India and globally, but that should follow the China launch, if trends are anything to go by.
On top of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi is also expected to launch the Xiaomi Pad 6 series of tablets during the same event.
The brand has even started teasing the arrival of its Xiaomi Pad 6 lineup, so we can expect the April 18th event to include more than just the flagship smartphone by Xiaomi. The Xiaomi Pad 6 is tipped to feature a Snapdragon 870 processor and a 2K IPS LCD panel.
