Xiaomi 13 Lite

The Xiaomi 13 Lite certainly feels like the odd-one-out in the Xiaomi 13 series, and not only because it's a mid-ranger in what is otherwise a family of flagships. Despite packing older hardware and a borrowed design than its launch siblings, though, there are some subtle charms to this latest Lite.

Another decent all-rounder from Xiaomi, with a beautiful design and pleasingly lightweight frame. The cameras feel like a step down from last year though, so maybe catch the Xiaomi 12 Lite on a deal instead.

A slim, light and sleek-looking phone that doesn’t cost a fortune. Sure, higher performance is available for the money, but the Xiaomi 13 Lite balances camera tech, power, design and cost well.

The Xiaomi 13 Lite convinces as a good mid-range smartphone, but is still a little too expensive for the performance it offers.

Xiaomi nos trae otro todoterreno decente, con un bonito diseño y un cuerpo sorprendentemente ligero. Sin embargo, las cámaras parecen dar un paso atrás con respecto al año pasado, así que mejor opta por el Xiaomi 12 Lite con algún descuento.
