The Xiaomi 13 Lite is the third Xiaomi I've tested in the last few months, having already had a thorough go on the no-holds-barred Xiaomi 13 Pro and the mainstream flagship contender Xiaomi 13. And with those latter two making a mighty strong case for the Mi conglomerate becoming a serious alternative to Apple and Samsung phones, I was keen to see whether the discount model would disrupt the midrange market in a similar way.
Midrange camera phones tend to straddle the border between competing among the best camera phones and best budget camera phones on the market, either not high-specced enough for one category, while being too expensive for the other.
