We have been hearing about the Xiaomi 12 Lite series for a long time. Back in October, the information about the lineup emerged in detail. Four months later, a new report from the same source now gives us an update regarding these devices.
Xiaomiui was the one to shed details on the Xiaomi 12 series months ago. The publication is now back again with an update.
It now says that the lineup will only include one phone and it will be exclusively available as a ‘Global’ variant. Previously, it said there will be two models, one of which will be available in all important markets (China, Global, India), while the other will be limited to China.
The source tells that Xiaomi has settled down with the handset codenamed Taoyao whose shortened model number is L9. This device will be similar to the Xiaomi CIVI and Xiaomi 12 series in terms of specs and design respectively.
Xiaomiui has even shared a concept render. But we would advise you to consider it with a pinch of salt. However, the specifications could be accurate.
The smartphone is tipped to come with a 6.55-inch 3D curved OLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. The panel will have support for up to a 120Hz refresh rate and an in-screen fingerprint sensor.
It will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ SoC or an even more powerful Snapdragon 7xx series chipset. It will house a triple camera setup consisting of a 64MP Samsung ISOCELL GW3 primary sensor, an ultrawide unite, and a macro shooter.
Like any Xiaomi group smartphone, it will feature dual stereo speakers. Finally, the phone will boot MIUI 13 based on Android 12.
As mentioned earlier, this handset was previously planned to release in China as well as India, in addition to ‘Global’ markets. At the same time, a variant of this device codenamed Zijin with a telephoto camera instead of a maco snapper was supposed to release exclusively in China. But Xiaomiui now states that these versions of the phone have been now canceled.
