Xiaomi and Leica recently announced that they will be joining hands in a partnership to create new smartphones. The duo promised an announcement in July but didn’t reveal which smartphone they will be launching but it is expected to be the long-rumored Xiaomi 12 Ultra. However, before the official announcement, we have some newly leaked information regarding the design and material of the smartphone. Let’s have a look at all the details.

According to the latest Weibo post by a usually reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the new Xiaomi 12 ultra could come in two colorways, first in black with a polished leather cover making it look more professional and the other in white with textured ceramic glass on the back.

Speaking of Ceramic glass, Xiaomi is not new to this material. In fact, the Xiaomi Mi 11 ultra launched last year also came with a ceramic design.

The main highlight of the smartphone is going to be its camera system, Xiaomi’s recent partnership with Leica is definitely going to take the camera of 12 Ultra to a new level. The smartphone has a unique “Oreo” like camera island and houses at least 3 lenses. It is likely to feature a 200-megapixel main sensor accompanied by an ultra-wide-angle sensor and macro sensor.

The front of the new Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra will likely sport an OLED flexible curved screen. In addition, the smartphone is also expected to feature the latest Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor under the hood. The handset is rumored to support a 120W fast charging while incorporating a 4,900mAh battery.

Xiaomi is yet to confirm any details regarding the smartphone. However, the smartphone is reported to see the daylight by the end of June.

It’s a few days to the official launch of the Xiaomi Mi 5s and more details are emerging. A new poster released today hints at the launch of a ceramic black edition of the Xiaomi Mi 5S.

Xiaomi is not new to making ceramic editions of their flagship. The Mi 5 released early this year features a gorilla glass back by default, but later the company announced a ceramic version for the Mi 5 Pro which also comes with more RAM and storage than the original Mi 5.

Does this mean that the ceramic black edition of the Mi 5s might be called the Mi 5s Pro and possibly be the version with 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage? We’ll have to wait till the 27th to find out.

The text on the poster loosely translates to ”What else apart from ceramic black?”. This also teases the possibility of other colours/versions other than ceramic black.

Another new leak that surfaced recently is a live image reported to be the white version of the Mi 5s. The image was posted by @KJuma. From the picture we can see that Xiaomi has indeed ditched the physical home button that houses the fingerprint scanner, confirming the use of Qualcomm’s Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner which is embedded under the glass. And that circular button that resembles that of the iPhone shown in an earlier leak? That is also absent. In its place, we have a glowing dot flanked on both sides by extra dots. Let’s hope it remains this way.
