The Xiaomi 12 series will reportedly make its entry into the global market when it is unveiled on March 15. This is according to “authoritative sources” knowledgeable about the trajectory of the flagship series. This news is unconnected with the ongoing Mobile World Congress where Xiaomi has been off the radar this year.
The March 15 unveiling of the Xiaomi 12 series will be an online event with Europe and possibly India the first global destinations for the smartphone series. The original Xiaomi 12 series has three models namely the Xiaomi 12, the Xiaomi 12 Pro, and the Xiaomi 12X. However, it is unclear at this time whether the three models will be unveiled as part of the global lineup during the March 15 event. There is a likelihood that the more compact Xiaomi 12 mini could also join the global Xiaomi 12 series lineup. Other possible models could debut in the global launch, but any projection now will be in the realm of uncertainty.
The camera setup of the Xiaomi 12 series will be a major marketing point for the global edition of the smartphones, as they will come with an excellent rear and front-facing camera setup. It is also indicated that the theme of the March 15 event is Master every scene, which hopes to showcase the impressive camera system of the lineup. All three models in the lineup have a 50MP rear in combination with telephoto and ultra-wide sensors that combine for a great camera system.
All three global models in the Xiaomi 12 series come with Qualcomm Snapdragon chips. While the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, the 12X has the Snapdragon 870. As per possible pricing, we expect the Xiaomi 12 Pro to be priced at around $1,200 while the 12X could go for around $670. These projections remain speculative, as the company hasn’t made any definitive statement yet on the global launch and other details.
