Xiaomi recently announced dropping the Mi moniker from its products naming system which means the next-generation flagship smartphone will be the Xiaomi 12. While we don’t expect the flagship smartphone to launch until next year, we recently saw the camera specs of the Xiaomi 12 leaked. The phone has again featured in a new leak.

What is believed to be a fan-made concept render of the Xiaomi 12 was recently shared by a Weibo user. The render reveals only the back aspect of the device but it shows a spectacular camera design. The cameras are housed in a rather weird-looking module which is shaped like the letter M.

The render has already been dismissed by Xiaomi’s PR head as unattractive. However, there are fans who think the design could find its way into the 12, denoting the first letter of the “Mi” brand. That argument looks dead on arrival since Xiaomi has already announced it will be dropping the Mi branding. Also, we think the camera design isn’t something Xiaomi will consider on its flagship.

The recent Xiaomi 12 leak touts the device as featuring a 200MP primary sensor as well as an ultra-wide sensor and a macro camera in a triple camera arrangement. The render envisions a quad camera setup marshaled by a 108MP main sensor.

We expect much more details to emerge in the coming months.
