Hong Kong, CHINA – February 15, 2023 – Xiaomi Philippines made some decisions to lower the price of its Xiaomi 12 – from ₱39,999, it’s now just ₱34,999. Then, if you consider purchasing it online, it will only cost you ₱34,073.50. One of the reasons it lowers prices may be because of the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Series that will be launched on February 26, 2023, through a global online event.
Also, it’s been almost a year since Xiaomi 12 was released locally and it’s time to cut down the price for fair market value.
Now here’s the interesting part, we know that Xiaomi 12’s camera section was not co-engineered by Leica, but the upcoming Xiaomi 13 was co-engineered, so if we add them things up, we can conclude that the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Series may start from ₱39,999 – ₱44,999. Although our best pick is the ₱44,999 due to the additional Leica collaboration, we are expecting Xiaomi Philippines to tag it with the same price as its predecessor.
As for its release here in the Philippines, we are expecting a week after the global online launch event that the tech giant will list the series locally.
For consumers that are interested, there are three selling points for the series, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Sony IMX800 camera, and the collaboration between the brand and Leica to attain best camera for smartphone.
