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.

The post Xiaomi 12 Lite tipped to be a fusion of Xiaomi CIVI and Xiaomi 12 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Every now and then, upcoming Xiaomi devices get spotted in MIUI code months ahead of their launch. Two such smartphones codenamed Zijin and Taoyao have now popped up. They are said to go official as Xiaomi 12 Lite series.

Xiaomiui has spotted two forthcoming smartphones in MIUI code. These devices bear model numbers L9 and L9B respectively. The former is codenamed Zijin, whereas the latter is called Taoyao.

The source of this information says that both these handsets will sport an FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. They will be powered by a Qualcomm SM7325 chipset and will feature a triple rear camera setup.

The only major difference will be the third camera. Xiaomi Zijin will have a telephoto camera instead of a macro camera like on Xiaomi Taoyao. The other two cameras will be a primary wide sensor and a secondary ultra-wide unit on both of them.

Lastly, the source says that Zijin with be a China-only handset, while Taoyao will be available in global markets. They also suggest that these phones will release as Xiaomi 12 Lite series.

That’s because the Mi 10 Lite and Mi 10 Youth Edition launched in 2020 also differed only in terms of camera setup. Just like these unreleased devices, the one with the telephoto camera was exclusive to China.

Having said that, we are certain that the specs of these smartphones could be accurate as Xiaomiui is a reliable source. However, the official names of the phones could be something else as the source has been mostly wrong in guessing the marketing names.
