Now, the CEO and Founder of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, has shed some light on the upcoming Xiaomi 13 series via a Weibo post. In his post, the top executive stated that upcoming phones are extremely uncomfortable to hold.

Moreover, Jun noted that upcoming phones have a thick form factor. However, he did not mention the Xiaomi 13's battery unit. To those unaware, the upcoming Xiaomi phone reportedly packs a 4,700mAh battery.

According to the top executive, the Xiaomi 13 will adopt a better form factor. He further noted that the device will deliver longer battery life. In a bid to back his claims, Jun shared the DOU test of the phone's battery life.

GizmoChina recently shared a screenshot of the aforesaid DOU test, which shows the Xiaomi 13 gained an impressive COU score. It is worth mentioning here that the device was used normally for 24 hours during the test.
