Powering the Xiaomi 13 Lite is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, and it sports a 120Hz AMOLED display.
It is the cheapest offering in the Xiaomi 12 lineup and a good alternative to the vanilla Xiaomi 12. That is, if you can live without the latest Snapdragon processor. Xiaomi 12X replaces the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor with an older Snapdragon 870. The rest of the features are quite similar to that of Xiaomi 12.For starters, it features the same 6.28” curved AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 12-bit color depth.

To say something about myself, I have been writing tech and gadgets from 2021. Although coming from a non technical studies background, I'm someone who is always fascinated by the latest gadget and tech innovations, circling around. Besides writing, you'll find me listening music and aligning the stars through astrology and sometimes even, tarot cards! 😉🧿
