Earlier this month, the Xiaomi 12 series forayed to the global market by a release in Europe. The Indian market was also tipped to get the series soon but the launch timeline wasn’t revealed. Now, the tipster Ishan Agarwal has revealed that the Xiaomi 12 Pro will be launching soon in India.

The tipster said that the Xiaomi 12 Pro will arrive in April in the Indian market. He only mentioned the Pro model, so we aren’t sure if the other models will accompany it at the launch. However, the Xiaomi 12X was tipped earlier to launch in India. So we might see the phone later or at the same time as the 12 Pro in the country.

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi, today, held a global launch event where it took the wraps off the much-anticipated Xiaomi 12 series alongside the Xiaomi Watch S1, Watch S1 Active, and the Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro. The Xiaomi 12 series is made up of the vanilla Xiaomi 12, the Xiaomi 12 Pro, and a cheaper Xiaomi 12X.

The Xiaomi 12 models will be available immediately to buy in Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. The global reach may get expanded to other markets outside these regions in due course.

While we are familiar with the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro which first launched in China in December, the Xiaomi 12X is an entirely new entrant. The 12X features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 mid-range chip as opposed to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC on the flagship models. As a result of the mid-range chipset onboard, the model is available at a slightly reduced price tag.

Speaking of the prices, the top-of-the-line model, Xiaomi 12 Pro starts a $1,000/€1,000 for the 8GB of RAM + 256GB storage variant.  There is also a 12GB RAM version bundled with 256GB storage. On the other hand, the vanilla 12 is priced at $750 (€800) for the 8GB+128GB model. The price is €50 higher than that of the Xiaomi 11 which isn’t bad. The Xiaomi 12 also comes in 8GB+256GB and 12GB+256GB options.

On its part, the Xiaomi 12X has a starting price tag of  $650 (€700) for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. There is a higher variant with 256GB storage.

The Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 12X are all available in three color options; Gray, Purple, and Blue. The3 Chinese version got a fourth green leatherette color option but that is missing on the global version.  Another perk that comes with the Xiaomi 12 series is the free YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium access buyers will get for three months, allowing them to stream video ad-free and download some for offline viewing.

The Xiaomi 12 series is available to buy from any part of the world on AliExpress. The Xiaomi 12 comes with an early bird price tag of $699 which is slightly lower than the official retail price. The Xiaomi 12X also has a decent price cut for the early bird offer. It starts at $449 for the 8GB+128GB version. The top-end Xiaomi 12 Pro retains its $1000 global price tag on AliExpress.

The company is slated to unveil several products at the event, with the Xiaomi 12 series smartphones being the headliners.

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 12 8GB + 128GB variant is priced at 4299 yuan ($675) while the 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB variants are priced at 4599 yuan ($722) and 4999 yuan ($784) respectively.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is said to be priced at 4999 yuan ($784) for the 8GB + 128GB variant, 5299 yuan ($832) for the  8GB + 256GB, and 5699 yuan ($894) for the 12GB + 256GB variant.

Interestingly the leak reveals the pricing of Xiaomi 12X, which is expected to be Xiaomi’s compact flagship. The lack of information and leaks have had many people wondering if the Xiaomi 12X will appear at the December 28th launch event. However, if these leaks are to be believed, the device will indeed be released tomorrow at a price of 3499 yuan ($549) for the 8GB + 128GB variant, 3799 yuan ($596) 8GB + 256GB variant and 3999 yuan ($627) for the 12GB + 256GB variant.

These prices do appear to be a lot higher than Xiaomi’s 11 series smartphones and have also been mentioned by the tipster to be unconfirmed, so we advise you to take it with a pinch of salt.

Additionally, the tipster also hinted at the pricing of the Xiaomi Buds 3, which appears to be priced at 499 yuan in the Chinese market($78).

With Xiaomi’s launch event scheduled to commence tomorrow at 07:30 pm Chinese Time (11:30 am GMT), we don’t have to wait long for the official pricing of these products to be revealed. So, stay tuned as we will be covering the launch event.

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 Xiaomi 12 will come with a 6.28-inch centre-punch-hole AMOLED display with a Full-HD+ resolution. On the other hand, the 12 Pro will have a slightly larger 6.73-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED LTPO display with 2k(1440 x 3200 pixels) resolution. The duo is expected to feature a high 120Hz refresh rate and 10-bit colour depth.

A recent leak revealed that the Xiaomi 12’s display has gained DisplayMate A+ certification and has Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The phones will come with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a thin-bezel design.

Cameras on the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro

As said earlier, the phones will come with a vertical camera module featuring a triple camera system. The vanilla model will feature a 50MP primary lens, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 32MP telephoto camera, while the Pro model will have a 50MP primary, 50MP telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide sensor.

Upfront, the duo is expected to come with a 32MP selfie lens. The camera features of the phones include an f/1.9 aperture sensor and the 115-degree FOV on the ultra-wide lens.

Hardware and Software 

Under the hood, the duo is expected to come powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. It will be paired with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 onboard storage. The Xiaomi 12 Pro is touted to have a 4,600mAh battery with a 120W fast charging support, while the vanilla 12 will get a 4,500mAh battery limited to 67W fast charging technology. In case the Xiaomi 12X lands at the event, it is touted to come powered by the Snapdragon 870 SoC.

The 12 and 12 Pro will have wireless and reverse wireless charging support with 30W wireless charging on the vanilla and 50W wireless charging support on the Pro model. 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.

Pricing, Color variants, and Availability 

The series will be officially released tomorrow and is expected to be on sale from the first or second week of January 2022. A previous leak revealed that the Xiaomi 12 may launch at a starting price of CNY 3,699(~$580).

[Update] – Now, a known tipster revealed that the Xiaomi 12 may come at a price of CNY 4,299(~$675), while the Pro may cost CNY 4,999(~$785). The Xiaomi 12X is tipped to start at CNY 3,499(~$550).

However, the authenticity of the pricing is still a question, so do take it with a pinch of salt.

1 of 4

The Xiaomi 12 Pro’s renders were leaked earlier today. The phone was seen in four color variants – Black, Blue, Green, and Pink(not official names). The live images of three of these colours were also surface.

Xiaomi Watch S1 Rumor Roundup: What to Expect?

Watch S will be an entirely new lineup of smartwatches. The Watch S1 will be the first smartwatch in the lineup and it will feature a circular design. It will have a metal-body construction and physical buttons. As per a recent poster, the smartwatch will feature two physical buttons.

These buttons could be a home button and sports or an action button similar to the Xiaomi Mi Watch Revolve Active. Unfortunately, there aren’t any explicit specs leak of the watch. But we expect the smartwatch to sport a large colour display. It may come with features like a 24-hour continuous heart rate monitor, sleep tracking, water resistance, and sports modes, similar to the Mi Watch Revolve Active.
