Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. It offered comparatively better performance and battery life.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra Case
The leaked Xiaomi 13 Ultra case image shows that the phone has a large circular module at the back, which could house at least four cameras, laser autofocus, LED flash, and other cutouts. This is not surprising as the predecessor is also a big phone. Xiaomi 13 Ultra is rumored to launch in China in March or April. The main focus of the phone could be the cameras. There are chances that the phone may retain the 1-inch main sensor and add gimbal stabilization. All the four cameras at the back could have autofocus support and there would also be a dToF (direct time-of-flight) sensor.
