Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi has kept an event on December 28 for the launch of its much-awaited flagship smartphone series, the Xiaomi 12, and for its Xiaomi Watch S1 smartwatch. The Xiaomi 12 series was in the leak-stage for a while and most of its details have been learned. So much so that recently, the company CEO Lei Jun shared a video of the phone’s box locked up with multiple key locks, in order to prevent any further leaks. The Watch S1, on the other hand, was teased a few times.

Today, we’re rounding up all the details learned so far about the upcoming Xiaomi 12 series and the Watch S1. Let’s have a look.

Xiaomi 12 Series Rumor Roundup: What to Expect?

Xiaomi is touted to have multiple models in the Xiaomi 12 series. Rumours reveal that the company may launch the Xiaomi 12, 12X, 12 Pro, and 12 Ultra. However, recently, it was confirmed that not all devices will land up at the December 28’s event. It was reported that Xiaomi may launch the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and the Xiaomi 12X while keeping the Ultra for a release in 2022. But, the Xiaomi 12X’ details are very limited and it may or may not end up at the event. That said, let’s have a look at the vanilla 12 and 12 Pro’s details.

Display and Design

Xiaomi 12 series is expected to come with a new design, especially at the back. The fronts will have only little changes like the front punch-hole cut-out shifted to the top middle instead of its left positioning seen in the last year’s Xiaomi Mi 11. This time around, Xiaomi will go with a cleaner design with the camera island placed vertically.

The series was recently confirmed to come with Harmon Kardon tuned speakers. The Pro will have a quad-speaker setup, whereas, the vanilla will boast a stereo-speaker setup. The Pro model is tipped to house a vapour chamber liquid-cooled temperature control system. Interestingly, the phones will have Xiaomi’s in-house Surge P1 chip, which is said to be useful for power management.

Xiaomi 12 will be the first smartphone series from Xiaomi to run on MIUI 13 out of the box. Xiaomi will also release the MIUI 13 software tomorrow and it will be based on Android 12 OS for the Xiaomi 12 series. It will bring features like virtual RAM support, better stability, and fewer bugs, as revealed by the company.
