On the other hand, Xiaomi and Leica announced their official partnership a couple of weeks ago, saying that the first device to bear the fruits of this collaboration will be launching in July. We should take this rumor with the healthy grain of salt but there’s a chance it might turn out correct. Rumor has it that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will come equipped with a 6.6-inch curved AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, sporting a 1440 x 3220 resolution, and a 20:9 aspect ratio.
Xiaomi introduced its 12 series earlier this year, however the Xiaomi 12 Ultra was conspicuously absent from the lineup. We now have a likely date for the official announcement of this phone, which is now one of the most awaited gadgets. TechGoing claims that Xiaomi would begin to tease the phone on June 28 and make a formal announcement on July 5. We’re not sure how accurate this information is, given that this site cites an anonymous Chinese tipster as its source.
Highlights
Judging from the leaked renders, we should expect a massive circular camera bump on the back of the phone, housing a primary camera with a 50MP sensor, a 48MP wide-angle lens, and a 48MP periscope lens for a telescopic camera. On the front we expect a hole-punch selfie camera positioned in the upper center of the screen, with a 20MP sensor underneath. The hardware situation should be quite obvious – the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will most likely come with the latest Qualcomm SoC – the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, coupled with 256 or 512GB of storage.
