On April 18, 2023, the well-known manufacturer Xiaomi organized the presentation of its new devices! Among the new products: Xiaomi 13 ULTRA phone, Xiaomi Pad 6 / 6 Pro tablets, Xiaomi Band 8 smart bracelet, Xiaomi 86" Mini LED TV and Xioami Sound Move portable bluetooth speaker!
Xiaomi 13 Ultra
The latest, most powerful and best Xiaomi flagship yet! Of course, the biggest focus was on the delivery of cameras. Xiaomi 13 Ultra features a 50MP 1" inch SONY IMX989 main camera with variable aperture F1.6-F2.4. Next to it there are three more 50MP cameras: telephoto with 5x optical zoom, macro and ultrawide.
What else should be noted is the 6.73" AMOLED 120Hz screen with a maximum brightness of 2600 nits. For comparison: Galaxy S22 Ultra only 1750 nits, and iPhone 14 Pro - 2000 nits.
Other parameters: IP68 resistance, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, up to 16GB RAM, UFS 4.0 internal memory up to 1TB, 5000mAh battery, 90W fast charging and 50W fast wireless charging. Phone prices in China start at €799 for the 12+256GB model, and the max. out version 16GB+1TB about €970. Wow!?

During pre-sales, this set will cost around €109.

Xiaomi Band 8
Xiaomi is finding it harder and harder to somehow update its most popular and best-selling bracelet, so this time it decided to focus on style/fashion and offers a variety of mounting options and different straps to choose from. And I think it will definitely get a lot of attention if those extra straps and accessories are at an adequate price.
The main parameters of Xiaomi Band 8 are as follows: 1.62" AMOLED screen with 60Hz refresh rate, supports "Alwas on Display" and reaches up to 600 nits brightness (Band 7 bracelet 500 nits). The new model is equipped with various sensors that allow you to track heart rate, sleep, SpO2, various sports activities and steps.
Also, the bracelet has 5ATM resistance, a special boxing function (when connected via phone or tablet) and even some games if you get bored. Although the manufacturer himself declares that the 190mAh battery should last up to 16 days without AOD, I think that in reality it will work up to 7 days with average intensity of use. The price of the newest bracelet in China is only from €34.
Xiaomi 86" Mini LED TV
Well, here is another Xiaomi TV. This time, the 86" inch diagonals are quite impressive with 4K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, up to 2000 nits brightness and 70W speakers that support Dolby Atmos and DTS: X technologies. Smooth operation will be ensured by an ARM Cortex-A73 processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory. Early bird price ~ €1990, later it will cost around €2120 (in the Chinese market).
Xiaomi Sound Move
And finally, one more product. Portable 15W Xiaomi Sound Move bluetooth column/speaker. Solid design, Harman Kardon coordinated sound, 4150 mAh battery, up to 21 hours. runtime, LHDC code and IP66 dust and water resistance. Price in China: about €93. Maybe a bit expensive, what do you think?
Resume
To be honest, the prices of new Xiaomi products really surprised me. Especially the Xiaomi 13 Ultra phone and Xiaomi Pad 6 / 6 Pro tablets. Well, yes, these prices are for the Chinese market, and as you know, European models are likely to cost at least 20-30% more... Also, it is not yet clear whether Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro, Xiaomi 86" TV and Xiaomi Sound Move will be to present to the global market. And what do you think about the new Xiaomi devices, share your thoughts Facebook in the comments!
