Last month, Xiaomi launched the 12S series of smartphones in China. The company also introduced the long-rumored Xiaomi 12 Ultra at this launch event under the Xiaomi 12S Ultra moniker. However, global customers won’t be able to get their hands on this device as it is a China-exclusive launch.
Now, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has reassured global customers that the next iteration of the Ultra smartphone will be available globally.

It isn’t clear whether Lei Jun was talking about a potential successor to the Xiaomi 12S Ultra or a version of the same phone. It is possible that we might soon get a Xiaomi 13 Ultra smartphone as the Xiaomi 13 series is rumored to launch around the end of Q4 2022.
