XIAOMI 12 ULTRA

Based on the results of last year's global smartphone sales, Xiaomi has managed to find the foundation for a third-tier line of major smartphone manufacturers. The company now wants to increase its share in the segment of advanced devices. The numbered series of flags and the Mix line should help in this, especially with the upcoming Xiaomi 12 Ultra, which should be the best flagship smartphone of this year.

Xiaomi 12 Ultra flagship

The company’s super flagship in 2022 should be the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, which was due to be launched this spring. But the latest news from China indicates that the flagship will be shown in the second half of this year and will be officially available worldwide.

Among the distinguishing features of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, developed by TSMC. Most likely, the platform should be Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+, and will surpass the “normal” version, primarily with improved power efficiency.

But the main focus of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be a camera with a periscope module, which will provide 5x optical zoom. It is natural that such a flagship would not be cheap. The expected price in China is $ 940. It is not hard to imagine that in the global market the price tag would be at least $ 999.

Xiaomi 12U

Perhaps the flag under the name 12X from Xiaomi did not show up by chance; and the company took steps to reduce the selection of its smartphones. So, instead of Xiaomi 12 Ultra, Xiaomi 12U could come out. This model was mentioned in a recent interview with someone in the company.

A few weeks ago, he also unveiled the imminent release of super-flagship codenamed Big Cup XL; where the Xiaomi 12 Ultra should hide under it.

The acronym is an acceptable addition, as in some high-end Xiaomi and Redmi models it is much longer. For example, the Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition or the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition. By the way, the latest fan in the reward now looks like the Redmi K50 Gaming.

Symbol summary, anyway, does not affect features in any way. Xiaomi 12U will still offer high performance and image capabilities. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC will work as a hardware platform; and there will be at least four modules on the main camera, one of which will provide 5x optical zoom.
