A few days back, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12X, and Xiaomi 12 Pro phones in China. However, the company didn’t launch the Xiaomi 12 Ultra despite it getting leaked several times. Now, the popular Chinese tipster DigitalChatStation sheds some light on the phone’s launch confirming that the device may launch after the Chinese Spring festival.

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will debut after the Chinese Spring festival which will start on February 1st. So, we can expect the phone to launch sometime in mid or end February. Similar to the recently launched Xiaomi 12 models, the 12 Ultra will also get released in China initially and may have a global release later in the future.

The tipster reveals that the Xiaomi 12 carrying the codename L1 will have major camera highlights. One of them would be the periscope super-telephoto lens. In addition to this information, a previous leak revealed the device may come with Leica-powered camera sensors. Recently, Leica ended its partnership with Huawei which may result in a new collaboration and it could be with Xiaomi.

The smartphone was previously tipped to come with a quad-camera system at the rear. It will boast a 50MP main Samsung GN5 primary lens, a 48MP 2x zoom lens, a 48MP lens with 5x zooming capability, and lastly a 48MP sensor with 10x zoom.

Our recent exclusive case leak of the phone showcased its camera island. Unlike the predecessor, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will have a circular rear camera module and the major difference between the predecessor and the upcoming phone will be the elimination of a secondary display. For the unware, the Xiaomi 11 was launched with a secondary display and a rectangular camera module.

Apart from the cameras, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is expected to come with a display that is around 6.5 to 6.6-inch in size and will have a 2k screen resolution. This is similar to the recently launched Xiaomi 12 Pro’s display.

Under the hood, the 12 Ultra will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC and is expected to have an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The phone may come with crazy-fast charging support similar to the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s 120W rapid charging.
