As previously reported, Xiaomi has now officially introduced its new Xiaomi 12S series in China. The Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi 12S Pro, and Xiaomi 12S Ultra are part of the brand's new flagship smartphone series. This series is the first for the firm to support the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and to include Leica-backed cameras (as part of the current Xiaomi-Leica collaboration). See the whole details below.

Xiaomi 12S Ultra: Specs and Features

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra confirms prior speculations and features a redesigned design with a large rear camera hump that looks like a camera lens. A 48MP ultra-wide lens with a 128-degree field of view, a 48MP periscope-cum-telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, and a 48MP telephoto lens with up to 120x digital zoom are all included in the gadget. The primary camera has a 50MP sensor with the newest Sony IMX989 technology.

In addition, this is the first Android smartphone to ever feature Dolby vision HDR video and HyperOIS, which provides improved and far smoother video capture. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra supports capturing videos in up to 8K HDR. Next, let's discuss the internals.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset powers the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, which is to be a flagship that debuts in the second part of the year. In the article that is linked, you may learn how the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 stacks up against the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. This phone has up to 512GB of internal storage and up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM.

Under the hood, a 4,860mAh battery powers the gadget. It supports wireless charging at 50 watts, cable charging at 67 watts, and reverse wireless charging at 10 watts. You get a 6.73-inch 2K LTPO 2.0 Samsung E5 AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate on the front. The panel is capable of peak brightness up to 1500 nits, 10-bit colour, Dolby Vision support, and more.

There are two colour options available for the Xiaomi 12S Ultra: Classic Black and Verdant Green.

Xiaomi 12S Pro: Specs and Features

With a few minor tweaks, the Xiaomi 12S Pro resembles the Xiaomi 12 series in appearance. It has a 6.73-inch, 2K LTPO 2.0, Samsung E5 AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a maximum brightness of 1500 nits, 10-bit colour depth, and a pixel density of 522 ppi.

A 50MP Sony IMX707 main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP portrait lens make up its three rear cameras. The camera is compatible with a number of features, including CyberFocus and Leica lenses. The Leica-exclusive effects and the brand's watermark have also been included thanks to the Xiaomi-Leica relationship.

A 4,600mAh battery powers the gadget and enables 120W fast charging, 50W wireless charging, and 10W reverse charging. There are four colour options for the Xiaomi 12S Pro: black, purple, silver, and green.
