It became clear why Wi-Fi 7 support was never mentioned when the Xiaomi 13 was introduced.

Xiaomi has recently introduced its new flagship smartphones based on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. But during the launch, the company remained silent about an important feature of the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro. We are talking about the Wi-Fi 7 wireless connection standard.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset has Wi-Fi 7 support. However, the fact that Xiaomi representatives did not mention this feature at the launch led to some rumors. It was even claimed that Wi-Fi 7 was removed from Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro.

Does the Xiaomi 13 series have Wi-Fi 7?

As such, the head of the software development department, Zhang Guoquan, had to make a statement. The experienced executive said that both smartphones offered can work on Wi-Fi 7 networks, but the standard in question has not been fully approved in China.

Xiaomii decided not to mention it during the announcement, as the certification process of the wireless connection standard has not been completed. As soon as the mandatory procedures are completed, the phones will receive an update that enables Wi-Fi 7. Let us remind you that the new standard works in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands.
