The Xiaomi 12S Ultra has gone through the rigors of JerryRigEverything’s durability tests as posted on its YouTube channel. The tests covered the new camera hump of the device which houses its 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor. Host Zach Nelson put the device through the paces with an average performance.

The 12S Ultra is a successor to the Mi 11 Ultra with improvements across several aspects. While the suspicion before the test was that the new rear camera hump could be a weak link, actual durability tests proved otherwise. The 12S Ultra has a premium exterior design with silicone leather although its Harmon Kardon frame is plastic and prone to razor scratches. The display of the 12S Ultra has Gorilla glass Victus protection but was not tested via Mohs picks. The device did not get a perfect performance as the bending forces had some impact on it.

On the whole, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra remained fully functional all through the tests and passed the test. The Xiaomi flagship fared no worse in the JerryRigEverything bend tests than some of the premium Android smartphones.

Of note, however, is the popping noise and slight crack around the frame during the test. Users of the 12S Ultra are assured that their smartphones will last the course of daily use because it is sufficiently durable.

A teardown video of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra has revealed its huge camera module. The video was posted by WekiHome and shows a teardown of the flagship revealing its main camera setup. The 1-inch sensor is quite bigger than most of the sensors around like the ISOCELL 13 GNV.

Wekihome had shown a complete teardown video of Xiaomi’s latest 12S Ultra flagship showing the size of the triple camera setup and other internal components. The compact arrangement consists of the main camera module, a 5x periscope sensor, and the 48MP ultra-wide camera. The motherboard with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip takes up the remaining space. Two PCBs were stacked to create enough room for all the components in the device. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra has a 4,860mAh battery which is also accommodated.

The arrangement also sees the RAM, storage, and the SD 8+ Gen 1 chip on the same side. A customized vapor chamber, copper sheets, and thermal paste combine to provide optimal heat management for the device. The main camera module of the 12S Ultra is 1.1cm thick revealing a huge camera bump. A complex 8P lens covers the length of the IMX989 sensor. The teardown video of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra shows that Xiaomi was able to manage its space given the huge main camera module.
