Xiaomi officially lifted the curtains on its Xiaomi 12 flagship lineup but the rumored Ultra model was absent with the launch. Previous rumors had set a March or April release for the device, similar to last year’s Mi 11 Ultra, and new details about it keep emerging.
Prominent tipster Digital Chat Station through a post on Weibo has now given some new insight into the rear camera design of the ‘superphone’, and it seems to sit well with previous leaks.
Through an amusing sketch, the tipster revealed that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will adopt a huge camera module design that will span the entire width of the phone. The outer part will be rectangular while the inner part where all of the camera lenses will reside will be circular.
The same post compares the look of the phone to a “high-end new flagship” from vivo, most likely the vivo X80 series. The Xiaomi 12 Ultra and vivo X80 flagship will feature very similar camera module designs but there is one subtle difference — the vivo phone’s circular camera island will be aligned to the left. The Xiaomi 12 Ultra’s, on the other hand, will be more symmetrical and aligned to the center.
The Xiaomi 12 Ultra is expected to feature a quad-camera setup very similar to its predecessor, with one of the lenses featuring 5x periscope telephoto capabilities. It will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC and feature a crazy fast 120W wired fast charging solution.
The vivo X80 series is set to launch soon as well and several of its specifications have already leaked.
