The Xiaomi 12S series launch is just around the corner. The company is set to launch three models within the lineup, including the base 12S, the 12S Pro, and the 12S Ultra. We have already covered a rumor roundup for the first two models, so now, let’s have a look at the top end variant as well.

Design

Unlike the Xiaomi 12S and 12S Pro, the Chinese tech giant has yet to officially showcase the design of the 12S Ultra model. The company did release a recent teaser image poster that offered us a slight glimpse at the entire lineup, although, it was shrouded in a shadow and no finer details could be discerned. However, we have certain rumors to go on for its design. The flagship handset might feature a large rectangular camera island that houses multiple images sensors.

We can also expect to see the Leica branding on this module. Meanwhile, the front is likely to sport minimal bezels and a center aligned punch hole cutout like the other two 12S series models. Other smaller details will likely include options like IR blaster, Harmon Kardon audio, USB Type C port, and rear panel made from a matte glass panel.

Specifications

Initially, the brand was set to launch this model back in March and April with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. But, since the launch was delayed, the company decided to use the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC instead. This chipset will likely be paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. On the front, the premium grade handset is expected to sport a 6.73 inch LTPO AMOLED display that has a QHD+ resolutions, 120Hz refresh rate, and 521 ppi pixel density.

This panel will even include an optical under display fingerprint scanner as well. Other features include, Hardmon Kardon stereo speakers, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, IR blaster, and Android 12 OS based MIUI 13 custom skin out of the box. Under the hood, the device is expected to be powered by a large 4,800mAh battery pack that supports 67W fast wired charging, along with 50W wireless fast charging, and reverse wireless charging of 10W.

Camera

Talking about its cameras, the brand has confirmed that the Xiaomi 12S Ultra will feature the Sony IMX989 as its primary sensor. It is a large 1 inch sized sensor that has a 50 megapixel resolution and is rumored to be paired with a 48 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 48 megapixel telephoto lens that has a 5x optical zoom, while the front may house a 20 megapixel selfie shooter. Details regarding the entire camera module is still sketchy so we’ll have to wait for the launch event.
