Why are the new Xiaomi coming out later in Russia?

If you live in Russia or the CIS, prepare for delays.

1. Certification: the devices must be tested by Roskomnadzor and the FSB (for 5G models).
2. Logistics: Sanctions have made shipments from China more difficult, so Xiaomi is using alternative routes through Kazakhstan and Turkey.
3. Software localization: adaptation of MIUI to Russian services (for example, integration with Yandex and Sber).

Example: Xiaomi 13 Lite was released in China in December 2022, and in Russia — only in March 2023. To buy a novelty faster, watch for parallel imports (but be careful with the warranty!).
