Xiaomi 12 Pro 5G gets landing page on Amazon ahead of Indian launch

Sudhanshu — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 08:15:03 +0000

Back in December, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 12 Pro flagship smartphone in the Chinese market. The Xiaomi India head recently teased the smartphone via a Twitter post, stating that the device is “coming soon.”

Now, it looks like the Indian launch might not be that far away as the device has received a landing page on Amazon India. On the Amazon landing page, Xiaomi has also posted a teaser video of the device titled “The showstopper.”

Although unconfirmed, the hints in the background of Xiaomi India’s head tweet indicate that the launch is most likely to occur on April 12 at 12 PM in India. The spec sheet of the smartphone is expected to be the same as in the Chinese variant so the device will likely come with a 6.73 inch AMOLED display that has a 2K resolution, with 120Hz refresh rate, 1500nits peak brightness, and HDR10+ certification.

Under the Hood, the Xiaomi 12 Pro 5G will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The device boots Android 12 based MIUI 13 out of the box and offers a triple camera setup on the rear.

On the other hand, the front offers a 32-megapixel selfie shooter.

The device debuted in China with a starting price of 4,699 yuan ($738) for the 8GB+128GB configuration, so we can expect it to launch with a starting price in the ₹50,000 range.

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.

Xiaomi 12 Pro Specifications

Xiaomi 12 Pro sports a 6.73-inch AMOLED LTPO display with FHD+ and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device has Gorilla Glass Victus protection and an in-display fingerprint scanner for security.

It features a 32MP selfie camera and a triple rear camera system. It has a 50MP main, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 50MP telephoto sensor.

Pranav Sawant — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 11:10:42 +0000

Xiaomi recently announced its 2022 flagships, the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12X, and Xiaomi 12 Pro. However, the series is limited to the Chinese market and rumors revealed that the series may go global in February or March. Now, ahead of any announcements, the series has emerged on the Indonesia Telecom certification portal confirming its sooner global release.

The Xiaomi 12 global models carry the model numbers 2201123G for the Xiaomi 12, and 2201122G for the 12 Pro. The 12X may not land in the global markets, at least as of now. Unfortunately, the certification site doesn’t reveal any specifications of the series.

If we take a look at the phones launched in China, the Xiaomi 12 has a 6.28-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, and the Pro sports a 6.73-inch 2K AMOLED panel. The duo has a triple camera system but the vanilla has a 50MP + 13MP + 5MP setup, while the Pro has a 50MP + 50MP + 50MP array.

Under the hood, the phones are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC paired with up 12GB of RAM and 256GB of in-built storage. The vanilla has a 4,500mAh with support for 67W wired and 50W wireless fast charging support.

On the other hand, the Pro model packs a slightly larger 4,600mAh battery with 120W wired and the same 50W wireless fast charging support. The phones run on Android 11 out of the box with MIUI 13 on the top.

Xiaomi 12 Pro first teardown emerges, providing our first look at the internals

Jed John Ikoba — Thu, 30 Dec 2021 01:30:38 +0000

We have just spotted the first-ever teardown of the Xiaomi 12 Pro that was unveiled on Tuesday in China. The premium flagship series is yet to even go on sale but a Chinese blogger has posted a video teardown/review of the Pro model on China’s top video-sharing website Bilibili.

The video provides us with our first look at the internals of the 12 Pro. There is no doubt that the Xiaomi 12 Pro comes with a top-notch design just like the rest of the lineup. The teardown also shows the device equally features well-arranged internals. The device retains a sandwich structure with a three-stage design after the rear cover is removed. Xiaomi also included a heat dissipation film, a copper foil, and silicone grease, as well as a 2900mm2 super VC soaking plate to ensure the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 doesn’t allow the device to heat up excessively.

The Mi 12 Pro is the first smartphone to pack a Sony IMX 707 sensor with 7P+ Optical image stabilization and we get to see the sensor for the first time. Also, the device features a 50MP Samsung JN1 sensor which is a portrait lens and a 50MP ultra-wide angle sensor.

In terms of flash memory and RAM, the teardown video shows that both the LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 flash storage are supplied by SK Hynix.

Another impressive hardware feature spotted on the teardown video is the four-unit crossover speakers (high + low) arranged diagonally up and down. At the same time, the X-axis linear motor is also a circle larger than those on most Android phones with a vibration comparable to that of the iPhone. The device is also shown to feature a more expensive ultra-thin under-display fingerprint solution.

Pranav Sawant — Mon, 27 Dec 2021 10:47:00 +0000

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.

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.
