It was expected that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra would be launched alongside the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12X, and Xiaomi 12 Pro in China with the launch event for the three held back in December 2021. When that did not happen, the release date was unofficially set for March given the Mi 11 Ultra was made available during the same time. But an alleged poster now shows that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra could be launched on May 10th.
Shared by Ben Geskin on Twitter, the alleged poster only mentions the name of the device, its launch date, and that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ processor. While the thing does look quite convincing, it isn’t clear if it’s the real deal or not. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is an unannounced chip, so its appearance on a poster looks far-fetched.
But even if false, all fingers do seem to be pointing toward a May launch for the device. A new report that cited reliable tipster Mukul Sharma as the source revealed the month when it will be made official.
Recent reports have revealed that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be equipped with a 6.73-inch E5 AMOLED display, which uses LTPO 2.0 technology. It is expected to carry support for 10-bit colors and has a 120Hz refresh rate.
According to Digital Chat Station, the flagship phone will continue to use ceramic for its rear and will be sold in at least white and black color options.
