Xiaomi’s 12T lineup is just around the corner, but the leaks and rumors have pretty much revealed it all ahead of the launch event next week (October 4). The upcoming series should include two smartphones—the Xiaomi 12T and the 12T Pro. The company has already confirmed the new 200MP imaging technology for its phones, among other things. Here’s a look at everything we’ve gathered so far regarding the forthcoming Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro.

Design

Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro will debut in the market as premium smartphones from the brand. As per various leaked renders, both handsets will have similar designs, matching the Xiaomi 12S series to some extent. On the front, the handsets will have a center-aligned punch-hole selfie camera. They both have flat displays and flaunt thin bezels. The right side will feature the power button and the volume rocker, while the left side will remain empty.

On the back, they feature a rectangular camera island with one huge compartment on top housing the main camera and two small cameras on the bottom. It’s hard not to argue that Xiaomi’s most recent flagship phones have one of the most beautiful camera modules we’ve seen in the past few years.

Now, if we talk about the material and build quality, both Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro could come with a traditional glass sandwich design, with tiny metal frames on the sides that grows larger at the top and bottom.

Display and Specifications

The vanilla Xiaomi 12T sports a 6.67-inch OLED screen that offers a 120Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12T Pro features a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the base model is said to be equipped with MediaTek’s Dimensity 8100 ultra chipset, which is an upper mid-range smartphone SoC with four fast ARM Cortex-A78 cores with up to 2.85 GHz and four efficient Cortex-A55 cores with up to 2 GHz. The processor will be paired with 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 GB / 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

On the contrary, Xiaomi 12T Pro could be powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. It will have 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Some countries could also get an 8 GB RAM variant of the device.

Both handsets will pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging. On the software front, they will run on the Android 12 OS with the MIUI 13 skin on top. Other features include dual speakers with Harman Kardon tuning, an IR blaster, a USB-C port, and a robust cooling system.
