Xiaomi is expected to launch the Xiaomi 12 Ultra soon and the device is appearing on more leaks lately. Last time, the popular tipster DigitalChatStation revealed that the phone may have a similar camera setup to that of its predecessor. Now, he suggests that out of its rumored quad-camera system, one of the lenses will be a 5x periscope camera.

If the Xiaomi 12 Ultra gets a 5x periscope telephoto lens, it will be one of the first few Chinese phones to come with such an optical zooming range in the market this year. Earlier, the tipster revealed that almost no phone in the market has a good zooming range when it comes to telephoto sensors. Most of the devices are stuck at 3x to 3.3x optical zoom, like the recently released OnePlus 10 Pro.

Now, the upcoming Xiaomi 12 Ultra may bring a relatively better telephoto sensor. Rumors are also rife that Xiaomi may implement its in-house Surge chip in the 12 Ultra. In addition to this, the phone’s cameras are said to be powered by Leica optics.

For those unaware, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is touted to come with four cameras at the back. As per the leaked renders, it could be a circular camera housing. Furthermore, our recent case leak showed the phone’s front profiles as well.

The smartphone is expected to have a 6.6-inch AMOLED panel with a 2K resolution. This time around, there won’t be a secondary screen like its predecessor. It will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC and feature a crazy fast 120W wired fast charging solution. The phone may have fast wireless charging, similar to its sibling, the Xiaomi 12.

Xiaomi 12 Ultra’s launch continues to be a mystery, however, it is rumored to debut after the Chinese Spring festival. So, expect a launch by the end of February.
