Xiaomi 12S Ultra is a rather interesting device that debuted last year with probably the best camera setup ever seen on a smartphone. Unsurprisingly, the handset received an overwhelming response in China, the only country where it is sold. Today, the company’s CEO announced that the 12S Ultra has reached the expected sales goal ahead of schedule, hinting it may get discontinued soon.
Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, took to Weibo to announce that Xiaomi 12S Ultra has achieved the expected sales goal ahead of schedule. This implies that no new models will be manufactured and the smartphone will be taken off the shelves. 12S Ultra is already out of stock on Xiaomi Mall and is only available on some third-party platforms.
The handset would have received a similar response in the international market but the company chose to limit it to mainland China. To remind you, Xiaomi 12S Ultra is the first high-end flagship launched after the cooperation between Xiaomi and Leica. It packs a 1-inch outsole Sony IMX989 sensor, is equipped with a plain leather back cover, and features a huge camera module. Its price starts at 5,999 yuan ($885).
Xiaomi is also reported to be working on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. CEO Lei Jun also hinted at the same today while replying to a user’s comment on Weibo. Rumors claim the 13 Ultra will be unveiled at the MWC 2023, which is going to take place from February 27 to March 2 in Barcelona, Spain. The Xiaomi 13 Series (Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro) will launch globally during the same event.
