The Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be the successor to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra released in April this year and will be bringing along a number of upgrades across the board. While alleged renders of the vanilla Xiaomi 12 model have been doing rounds for a while now, the design of its Ultra variant has remained in the dark. But that’s now changed with the release of a new unofficial render by Ben Geskin.
The blogger has based it on protective case leaks from yesterday that had revealed alleged designs of the entire Xiaomi 12 series. From that, it seems that the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro will be featuring very similar designs while the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be going for a never-before-seen look.
Nearly half of the rear of the device will be taken up the camera module alone. This, despite it seemingly ditching the secondary screen at the rear – something that was a highlight feature of the Mi 11 Ultra. The case leak had also shown a total of eight cutouts for the camera module and Ben has reflected that on his design.
Four of those are dedicated to the cameras on the render, making the Xiaomi 12 Ultra have a quad-camera setup. But it isn’t clear yet if the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will indeed be having four cameras or if it will stick to the more traditional tri-cam setup found on its predecessor. Three of the remaining cutouts have been allotted to random sensors while the last one is a flash.
The Xiaomi 12 Ultra render also divides the phone’s rear into two sections, one of which is darker than the other. If Xiaomi indeed goes for such an implementation, then it could be possible that one of the sections will perhaps have a different feel as well.
Apart from this, not much is known about the device. Some reports do suggest though that the phone will feature 120W fast charging and have a 120Hz OLED display. Under the hood, the phone is expected to come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, and the pricing of the Xiaomi 12 series could start from 4,299 yuan.
