After weeks of leaks and rumors, the Xiaomi 12 is now being teased officially, with the front photo of the phone being revealed today for the very first time. A launch date of December 28th has been announced, confirming previous rumors.
Along with that, the company has also revealed a bit about the camera prowess of the device with a post on Weibo. A new camera breakthrough has been claimed to be achieved that will let photos to be taken much more quickly, allowing snaps of fast-moving objects to be more stable and reliable.
The breakthrough has been achieved with a new “Xiaomi Image Brain” architecture. While not exactly clear, it appears to be an AI-based piece of image processing software that’s likely much faster in doing its job than traditional processing methods.
Judging by promotional posters, the feature will be standard across the entire Xiaomi 12 lineup. It was recently revealed that the series will include two models, one with a large screen while the other with a much more compact one. The larger model is expected to have a massive 6.81-inch display while the smaller model’s display is sized at a much more manageable 6.28-inches.
The Xiaomi 12 Ultra has been omitted from the official promos, making it safe to assume that the “superphone” will not be going live on December 28th. In addition to these three models, a Xiaomi 12X will also be released, either with the aforementioned two models or sometime next year.
