The Xiaomi 13 Pro unveiled in China in December will take the next step towards global launch on February 26. Xiaomi"s Indian branch today announced the 13 Pro will launch globally on February 26 at Mobile World Congress (MWC), including India. The event will be livestreamed starting at 9:30PM IST (4PM UTC) on Xiaomi"s official website and social media accounts.

The press note we received has no mention of the Xiaomi 13, so it"s unclear if it will be a part of the MWC event or make its global debut later. We"ll hopefully find that out in the coming days.
