Not so fast apparently
Global eta: at least February 2023

Aiyo by february then s23 launch..then want buy s23 pulak

How much s23 will be ? Would still be more expensive than Xiaomi 13/13 pro right ?

Lol it's possible but still have to look at the price & offering first to decide. If budget is not an issue probably ppl will go for sams.

Sams software update policy & speed is better than xiaomi. As well as easier to get accessories Just that the tradeoff is much more expensive pricing and more bloatware.

Wondering how much is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip cost ?

Shopee already got CN set. Anyone buy yet ?

CN set missing some bands for 4g and 5g support. Beware!

All models or just Xiaomi? Fastech Lim now selling the Mi13 8/128 for RM 2828. Mi13 pro 12/256 for RM 4040

Xiaomi 13 CN (missing LTE B7, B20, B28)



Xiaomi 13 Pro CN (missing B20, B28)



missing B28 = no malaysian 5g for you

Wow. Luckily didn't buy yet.

Xiaomi 13 cn unacceptable in local market with lack of 4g band B7, not only lack of support for 5g but it will affect the reception of 4g as well.

All local major telco(Maxis,Digi,Celcom,U-mobile) support LTE band B1,B3 & B7.

actually previous xiaomi / redmi CN models especially some budget models also lack B7 support but still with B1,B3,B8 can also use CDMU LTE networks but will have lower speed (because B7 2600 has higher theoretical max speed)

Is this behaviour tied to phone set or it is tied to ROM ?

Eg could it be that a phone from cn when later flashed with international ROM, the problem will be fixed ?

Is tie to hardware. No way to unlock via software

I think is because licensing cost bah, and also help prevent it to be smuggle out of China before global set is out

Can't wait for Malaysia set to start selling. Can go for test drive.

If there is locking then there is unlocking.

For example :-

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-l...3084774/page-14

I think it is a matter of time some tech guy will reveal the right way to accomplished this. But will likely have to wait some time, since things are very new right now.

Well that's only true if the spec on band supported listed on paper is incorrect. If what stated in the hardware spec on paper is true, then there is no way to unlock/get more band support simply through software mean.

If hardware didn't support then there is no way for software to do the job. For eg if the phone is designed with hardware that support till wifi 5 only then there is no way for it to support wifi 6 via software mean. Upward compatibility is not possible, only downward compatibility is possible. Like wifi 6 supporting

Interesting information

According to this review, these two phones Xiaomi 13 pro and Vivo X90 pro plus are very similar in camera quality.

because they share the same 1 inch type sensor. the difference mainly in UW/tele lens and image processing only
