Xiaomi recently unveiled the Xiaomi 12 series which consists of the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12X, and Xiaomi 12 Pro. While the 12X is a relatively new entrant, Xiaomi may have got yet another model in the works. A new listing on the IMEI Database indicates that the Xiaomi 12 Lite could well be in the mix as well.
The Xiaomi 12 Lite may well be one of the proposed addition to the Xiaomi 12 series. There could be a few others that may be part of the series. The Xiaomi 12 Lite may be a pretty affordable smartphone and the cheapest in the series. From the IMEI database, we know that the new Xiaomi 12 Lite has model number 2203129G and is codenamed taoyao or L9.
The Xiaomi 12 Lite will likely come with some of the basic features of the series, but some key components may be scaled down to take care of the lower pricing for the model. As per the specs, it has a 6.55-inch curved OLED panel and a 120Hz display refresh rate. It has a fingerprint reader powered by Goodix, while the Snapdragon 778G+ chip is present. The main camera setup consists of three cameras including a 64MP primary sensor, ultra-wide angle, and macro lenses. These lenses however lack an optical image stabilizer. The Xiaomi 12 Lite is expected to run on Android 12 OS.
There are no indications of the pricing or scheduled release date of the Xiaomi 12 Lite. Xiaomi only confirmed that the 12 Lite won’t be launched in China but hasn’t said anything about a global launch. We hope to get more details in the coming days.
