Xiaomi unveiled the MIUI 14 user interface a month ago. Soon later, a few cell phones in China began to receive upgrades. The corporation was a little behind schedule in providing its smartphones with the most recent Android 13 operating system. Xiaomi flagships have not yet received the Android 13 upgrade, despite almost all of the competition’s devices having it. The business is working hard to stay ahead of the competition, though. Now, the Xiaomi 12X has started receiving the MIUI 14 based on the Android 13 update in the EEA regions.

The MIUI 14 build for the Xiaomi 12X smartphone is ready, said Xiaomiui, and will be released in the coming months. The update that was made available for the EEA region has the build number MIUI-V14.0.1.0.TLDEUXM. Users of the Xiaomi 12X will soon be able to download MIUI 14, which was built on the Android 13 operating system. Since the EEA variants are receiving the upgrade, we can anticipate that the other areas will follow suit as soon as MIUI 14 for the Xiaomi 12X has been officially rolled out. Anyway, here is the complete changelog of the MIUI 14 update for Xiaomi 12X that is rolling out in EEA regions.

Android 12 has now been here for quite a long time and its iteration is also coming soon. While the majority of the eligible smartphones have already received the Android 12 software update, there are still some devices that haven’t got the taste of the latest firmware yet. Xiaomi 12X is one such device, but that changes now, as the Chinese company has now rolled out the Android 12 update Globally for Xiaomi 12X.

Xiaomi 12X debuted back in March alongside the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro. Though the two flagships landed with MIUI 13 based on Android 12 out of the box, the affordable Xiaomi 12X wasn’t so lucky and arrived with Android 11. For some reason, the global variant that was launched months after the initial Chinese release also came pre-installed with Android 11. But anyways, the company has finally released the Android 12 update for the Xiaomi 12X

As initially spotted by the folks at Xiaomiui, the build number for the latest Android 12 update is V13.0.1.0.SLDMIXM. The update comes packed in 3.1GB of data so you might want to connect to the Wi-Fi if your carrier deal isn’t data-heavy.

As per the official changelog, the new build comes with all the standard Android 12 features, along with the April 2022 security patch that contains seven security improvements for the Android Framework.

To recall, the smartphone features a 6.28″ OLED display with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Powered by the Snapdragon 870 5G processor the smartphone comes with a triple camera setup on the back with a 50MP main camera and 5MP macro lens and 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens. While on the front, it has a single 32MP snapper for selfies. Xiaomi 12X is fueled by a 4500mAh battery and supports 67W fast charging.

Xiaomi India Chief Business Officer Raghu Reddy told Zee Business, “Xiaomi 12 Pro is the first product in the Xiaomi 12 series, and we do have plans to bring more products in Xiaomi 12 series eventually.

When he was specifically asked about the launch timeline for the Xiaomi 12 and 12X in India, he responded by saying, “It’s a little harder for me to put a timeline, but I can tell you that Xiaomi 12 Pro is the first 12 series phone. We definitely have plans to launch more. When does it come is something we can tell you once we are sure about the dates.”

Tipster Yogesh Brar revealed last month that Xiaomi is planning to launch the Xiaomi 12X and 12X Pro flagship phones in India.

He added that the 12X will have the Dimensity 8100 chipset, whereas the Pro model will get the Dimensity 9000 SoC.

Xiaomi recently unveiled the Xiaomi 12 series which consists of the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12X, and Xiaomi 12 Pro. While the 12X is a relatively new entrant, Xiaomi may have got yet another model in the works. A new listing on the IMEI Database indicates that the Xiaomi 12 Lite could well be in the mix as well.

The Xiaomi 12 Lite may well be one of the proposed addition to the Xiaomi 12 series. There could be a few others that may be part of the series. The Xiaomi 12 Lite may be a pretty affordable smartphone and the cheapest in the series. From the IMEI database, we know that the new Xiaomi 12 Lite has model number 2203129G and is codenamed taoyao or L9.

The Xiaomi 12 Lite will likely come with some of the basic features of the series, but some key components may be scaled down to take care of the lower pricing for the model. As per the specs, it has a 6.55-inch curved OLED panel and a 120Hz display refresh rate. It has a fingerprint reader powered by Goodix, while the Snapdragon 778G+ chip is present. The main camera setup consists of three cameras including a 64MP primary sensor, ultra-wide angle, and macro lenses. These lenses however lack an optical image stabilizer. The Xiaomi 12 Lite is expected to run on Android 12 OS.

There are no indications of the pricing or scheduled release date of the Xiaomi 12 Lite. Xiaomi only confirmed that the 12 Lite won’t be launched in China but hasn’t said anything about a global launch. We hope to get more details in the coming days.

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.

In December 2021, Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi 12X, Xiaomi 12, and Xiaomi 12 Pro flagship phones in China. Recent reports have claimed that the Xiaomi 12 series will be coming soon to global markets. The lineup is now one step closer to launch as it has bagged approval from the TDRA authority (via).

As can be seen in the below-shown screenshot, the Xiaomi 12 with model number 2201123G and Xiaomi 12 Pro with model number 2201122G has surfaced in TDRA’s database. While the Xiaomi 12X has not appeared at TDRA, it is also expected to launch with Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro.

A recent report tipped the pricing of the Xiaomi 12 series for the global markets. Beginning with the Xiaomi 12X, it is speculated to arrive in Europe in variants such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. It is expected to be priced between 600 euros and 700 euros.

The Xiaomi 12 is also rumored to come in 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage variants. It is likely to cost between 800 euros and 900 euros. The Xiaomi 12 and 12X have identical specs such as a 6.28-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, a 32-megapixel front camera, 50-megapixel triple rear cameras, and a 4,500mAh battery with 67W fast charging.

Xiaomi debuted the Xiaomi 12 series at the end of December in China. Though it has been almost two months, the company is yet to announce the launch date for global markets. Ahead of that, pricing details for Europe have emerged. Let’s check out how much these smartphones will cost outside their home country.

According to the sources of MySmartPrice, the Xiaomi 12 series will start at €600 in Europe. The firm will be all three devices in the lineup, namely Xiaomi 12X, Xiaomi 12, and Xiaomi 12 Pro.

Unsurprisingly, the Xiaomi 12 Pro will be the most expensive model. It is said to retail between  €1,000 and €1,200 in the old continent. The handset will be available in 8GB + 256G and 12GB + 256GB configurations. This means it will compete against the likes of Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra in the region.

Further, the vanilla Xiaomi 12 is expected to cost between €800 and €900 for 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB variants. Therefore, it will be up against the regular Galaxy S22.

Finally, the Xiaomi 12X is anticipated to retail at around €600-€700 for 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB versions. Hence, its main competitor will be the Galaxy S21 FE.

As you can notice, if this leak happens to be true, then Xiaomi will be going all-in against the latest flagship models from Samsung. The competition will be probably tough for the Chinese company as its peers like realme, OPPO, OnePlus, and HONOR will be also releasing their premium smartphones in the coming weeks.

What are your thoughts on the alleged pricing of the Xiaomi 12 series for Europe? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 12 series last month in China and the series will go global soon. Before it releases, the phones in the series will evidently pass several certification sites. Today, as first discovered by MySmartPrice, the Xiaomi 12X has passed the EU conformity certification revealing the global existence.

The Xiaomi 12X global model was passed carrying the model number 2112123AG. The listing reveals that the smartphone will boot on MIUI 13 out of the box. Although it is not confirmed, we expect the device to have Android 12 OS under the MIUI custom skin. It will pack a 4,500mAh battery and feature a 67W fast charging support.

Furthermore, the smartphone will come with a fast-charging adapter, earphones, and USB cable. Other than this, the European model’s specs are still under wraps. But the device is already available in China.

The Xiaomi 12X has a 6.28-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution. It has a 120Hz refresh rate display, HDR10+ support, and an 1100 nits peak brightness. It equips a triple rear camera system with a 50MP primary lens, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP tele-macro camera. Upfront, it has a 32MP selfie snapper.

It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC paired with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The smartphone has a 4,500mAh battery and a 67W fast charging technology.

The Xiaomi 12 series includes the most compact flagship released in 2022, but for Xiaomi, this was not enough. The company decided to launch another compact phone alongside the original Xiaomi 12: we are talking about the Xiaomi 12X. It is still a high-end device and it is still very compact, but it is an even more affordable flagship killer. A device belonging to the same range debuted even in the last Motorola lineup, but it can be considered the opposite because it is a big phablet: the Motorola Edge S30. This is a comparison between one of the most compact flagship killers and one of the biggest ones and we believe it will be useful for a lot of gamers and power users looking for a new phone who cannot spend a lot of money.

Xiaomi 12X vs Motorola Edge S30

Design

The Xiaomi 12X undoubtedly wins the design comparison because of its amazing compact body and its very high screen to body ratio. You can easily use the Xiaomi 12X with one single hand, at least if compared to all the other high-end phones out there, and you can comfortably keep it in a pocket. The design of the camera module is very elegant, even though it almost looks like a copy of the latest Realme flagships. Besides being more compact, the Xiaomi 12X is a thinner and lighter device thanks to its smaller display and battery. The Motorola Edge S30 is definitely too big for those who search for a decent device for one-handed use, and it is also thick and pretty heavy.

Display

As already mentioned, with a diagonal of just 6.28 inches, the Xiaomi 12X packs a smaller display than the Motorola Edge S30. But it is a way better panel if we compare it to the latest Motorola flagship killer. First of all, unlike its rival, it has an OLED panel showing brighter colors and deeper blacks. Further, it is able to show up to one billion colors, and it supports the Dolby Vision standard and the HDR10+ certification improving the image quality on multimedia content. The display has a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and it is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. With the Motorola Edge S30, you actually get a bigger panel with a diagonal of 6.8 inches and a higher 144 Hz refresh rate. These are great added values for those who want to use their phones to work or play games. But if you need the best image quality, this is not the right phone for you as it packs an IPS display. Xiaomi 12X has an in-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers, while the Edge S30 does not.

Specs & Software

The Motorola Edge S30 is the king when it comes to hardware and it is a better phone for those who seek the best performance in the most advanced usage scenarios. It is powered by the amazing Snapdragon 888 Plus mobile platform supported by up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Even though it offers the same memory configuration, the Xiaomi 12X is not able to compete with its opponent because it is fueled by the weaker Snapdragon 870: still a high-end mobile platform, but far from the Snapdragon 888 Plus. The presence of Android 12 out of the box on the 12X is really appreciated.

Camera

The Xiaomi 12X can be considered a good camera phone thanks to a 50 MP main camera supporting optical stabilization. The Motorola Edge S30 is just an average phone when it comes to the cameras, due to its inferior 108 MP main sensor and no OIS. Both the phones pack a 13 MP ultrawide camera and an additional sensor for macros, but the macro camera of the Xiaomi 12X is better with its 5 MP resolution, as well as the 32 MP selfie camera.

Battery

The Motorola Edge S30 has bigger dimensions which make room for a bigger battery, thanks to which it is able to last more in a lot of scenarios. The Xiaomi 12X has a smaller battery but it charges faster thanks to 67W technology.

Price

You need at least €280/$320 to purchase the Motorola Edge S30 in China, while Xiaomi 12X starts from €440/$502. Despite the Edge S30 packing a better processor, a bigger battery, and a wider display, the 12X is a superior phone due to its better cameras, faster charging, and display. However, if you are a gamer, getting the Motorola flagship makes more sense (and it also comes with a higher value for money).

The Xiaomi 12 series sold almost worth 283 million USD in its first 5 minutes upon going on sale in China. Besides featuring class-leading technology like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 & 120W next-generation charging, the Xiaomi 12 series is also known for its class-leading camera. Recently, Xiaomi revealed that it is using advanced autofocus technology from its Xiaomi CyberDog in the Xiaomi 12 series. 

On Weibo, Xiaomi’s Senior Vice President, Zeng Xuezhong shared the story behind integrating its “CyberFocus” advanced autofocus technology from its Xiaomi CyberDog. 

“Xiaomi surveyed its userbase, and the most common camera complaint is that its cameras were unable to focus properly on the subject despite trying to focus in many times, ” Zeng mentioned. 

“From rainbows to sunsets, to mothers’ dear firstborns moving around in front of the lens, these scenes are hard to capture and focus. Therefore, here at Xiaomi, we thought of our CyberDog ‘owner tracking technology’ called CyberFocus and decided to implement it into our Xiaomi 12 flagship cameras,” he added.

With this next-gen advanced autofocus technology, the autofocus algorithms can now accurately determine the outlines of the subject. Whether it be human, animal, or scenery, you need not worry about the subject being out of focus anymore. 

How the algorithm differentiates itself from conventional autofocus technology is in the basics. Where conventional autofocus struggles to focus on an object like a cat because it only focuses on the cat’s ear because of its limited artificial intelligence, the CyberFocus technology on the Xiaomi 12 recognizes that it is not only the cat ears, but the whole subject is the cat. And with AI background recognition, it can properly recognize the different parts of the cat as well. Even if the cat is out of the frame and comes back in, it has already stored data of the cat and the cat will automatically be back in focus since it recognizes the entire object now. 

Xiaomi Photography Engineers behind the scenes tested out many difficult situations such as capturing someone furiously shaking their heads, and tracking the focus of a spinning jump rope in the frame. But they found that the Xiaomi 12 camera’s advanced autofocus software truly showed its prowess when capturing the company’s 2 pet dogs named Peach and Fortune running around in the Xiaomi headquarters. To prove that the autofocus works on animals and to practice the algorithm’s stability, they tested out the cameras on the dogs, and here are the camera samples they got.

The photos taken were clear and crisp and the subjects were in focus as shown in the pictures, despite dogs being known for not being able to stay in one place for a long period of time.

If you are looking to get hold of the new Xiaomi 12 series, note that both the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro are now available on Giztop for $699 and $899 respectively.

The Xiaomi 12 series is finally official and, besides the vanilla version and the Pro variant, it includes a very affordable flagship killer for those who want to save money while still getting several flagship-class specifications: the Xiaomi 12X. It carries a very affordable price if compared to the specifications and it is sold in the same price range as the Realme GT Neo2. That is the reason why we decided to publish a comparison between the specifications of the Xiaomi 12X and the Realme GT Neo2. While waiting for the global launch of the former, you can now realize which one offers the highest value on the paper through this comparison.

Xiaomi 12X vs Realme GT Neo2

Design

Despite they were released by two different brands, the Xiaomi 12X and the Realme GT Neo2 have a lot in common when it comes to design. They have a similar camera module on the rear side and a borderless display with a punch hole for the front camera. The materials used belong to the same class, but the color options of the Realme GT Neo2 are a bit more interesting. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12X is a lot more compact and thinner than its rival, which is why a lot of people may prefer it as it is one of the most compact high-end phones out there.

Display

The Xiaomi 12X has one of the smallest displays in the high-end segment with a diagonal of just 6.28 inches. But it is also one of the best displays and on the paper, it is better than the panel found on the Relame GT 2 Pro. The Xiaomi 12X has an OLED display that shows up to one billion colors and sports a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and Dolby Vision, as well as a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and the Gorilla Glass Victus protection by Corning. The Realme GT 2 Pro has just 16 million colors and it lacks Dolby Vision support, but it has a wider 6.62-inch display which is actually better in terms of dimensions for productivity and gaming. Both the phones are equipped with an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi 12X and Realme GT Neo2 have exactly the same hardware department. They are fueled by the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform by Qualcomm built at 7 nm and running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz. The SoC is paired with either 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. Same processor, same RAM, and same storage, but different Android version: the Xiaomi 12X is very recent and it runs Android 12, while Realme GT Neo2 runs Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

The rear cameras of the Xiaomi 12X are superior to the Realme GT Neo2. The main sensor is a 50 MP lens with OIS and it is paired with a 13 MP ultrawide camera and a 5 MP telephoto macro sensor. Realme GT 2 Neo2 has an inferior 64 MP sensor without OIS, an inferior 8 MP ultrawide camera, and an inferior 2 MP macro camera. The Xiaomi 12X even wins the selfie comparison thanks to a 32 MP front snapper.

Battery

The Realme GT Neo2 wins the battery life comparison simply because it is equipped with a bigger battery: the capacity is 5000 mAh and it allows for longer battery life in every scenario because the phone comes with similar components to the Xiaomi 12X. Charging speeds are not so different because these phones support 65W fast charging and 67W fast charging, respectively.

Price

The Realme GT Neo2 is priced at about €306/$345 in the Chinese market, while the starting price of the Xiaomi 12X in China is close to €445/$503. The Xiaomi 12X is a superior handset thanks to its better display and better cameras, but there is also an important price difference between these two handsets. Further, note that Realme GT Neo2 has a wider display and a bigger battery. Which one would you pick?

Now, a new report from MySmartPrice offers us a possible launch timeline for the Xiaomi 12, 12 Pro, and 12X. According to the report, known tipster Mukul Sharma revealed that the Chinese tech giant might be planning on globally launching its premium grade handsets by the end of February or early March 2022. He further added that the Xiaomi 12 series will likely be released in India around the same time or soon after its global launch as well.

Unfortunately, finer details like the exact date of launches outside of China are still unknown. Talking about the flagship smartphone, the base and 12X variant sport a 6.28 inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the Pro version arrives with a larger 6.73 inch 2K AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate as well. Under the hood, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC powers the vanilla and Pro version, while the 12X houses a Snapdragon 870 chip.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro features a 4,600mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging, while the 12 and 12X have a 4,500mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging. The company is also rumored to be working on an Ultra version as well that will reportedly debut sometime in February. So, the official release for the rest of the three models might be announced during its launch event, although, that is just speculation so take it with a pinch of salt and stick around for more updates.

Chinese phone giant Xiaomi is expected to launch the Xiaomi 12 series by the end of this month. Rumours are rife that the series may debut on December 28 comprising of three different models – Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12X, and Xiaomi 12 Pro. Now, ahead of its arrival, we have an important piece of information that sheds light on its cameras.

According to the notorious tipster DigitalChatStation, the Xiaomi 12 will not come with the popular under-display camera, instead, it will have a punch-hole camera. Furthermore, it will be a center punch-hole screen which is expected to bring improvements over its predecessors.

Moreover, the punch-hole screen will be present on all three models. The primary reason for not employing an in-display camera is still known. However, a report reveals that Xiaomi took lead in mass-producing the under-display camera for the MIX 4 and it resulted in a selfie camera that wasn’t up to the mark. That said, Xiaomi is expected to stick to employing the punch-hole camera at least for this year’s flagship series phones.

Apart from this, the other specs of the smartphone series have already been known. The Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro will come powered by the recently launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12X will board the Snapdragon 870 SoC. The Xiaomi 12 series is expected to have an LTPO adaptive refresh rate screen with a refresh rate adjustment level between 1 to 120Hz.

It is speculated that Xiaomi will be holding a launch event on Dec.28 to announce the Xiaomi 12 series of smartphones. It was reported based on rumor surrounding it that the event will see the arrival of two Xiaomi 12 models. However, fresh information shared by Digital Chat Station suggests that the company may launch Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12X, and Xiaomi 12 Pro handsets.

According to the tipster, Xiaomi phones with shortened model numbers such as L3A, L3, and L2 may debut together. These devices could be launched in the market with names like Xiaomi 12X, Xiaomi 12, and Xiaomi 12 Pro.

Starting from the Xiaomi 12 Pro, our exclusive report that showcased its screen protector revealed that it will be a smaller device as compared to the Xiaomi Mi 11 5G that featured a massive 6.81-inch display. Probably, it could be sporting a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with curved edges and a centrally positioned punch-hole. Being a Pro model, it is expected to be driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which was announced recently by Qualcomm. The other details of the Pro models are under the wraps.

The Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X are also speculated to arrive with an AMOLED panel with curved edge design. Both phones are expected to support Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an under-display fingerprint sensor. The screen size of the 12X is said to be 6.28 inches.

The Xiaomi 12 may feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, while the 12X may get the Snapdragon 870 chip. While the battery size of the 12 is not known yet, the 12X is likely to come with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging and 33W wireless charging. The Xiaomi 12 may support 100W charging.

The Xiaomi 12 and 12X may feature a 50-megapixel primary camera. The latter is expected to house a 20-megapixel front-facing camera. The Xiaomi 12, 12X, and 12 Pro are expected to come preinstalled with MIUI 13 based Android 11 or 12.

The above-mentioned specs of the Xiaomi 12 trio could be inaccurate. Hence, it is advisable to take this report with a pinch of salt.

Xiaomi is expected to debut its next generation of premium smartphones starting in December. These new devices were anticipated to run Android 12. But it looks like some of them will be left out. However, they will boot the yet-to-be-announced MIUI 13.

According to reports by Xiaomiui, the alleged Xiaomi 12X and Redmi K50 will ship with Android 11 instead of Android 12. Anyway, though they will come with a year-old Android version, they will be still released with the upcoming MIUI 13.

The source suggests that the chipset, which will power the handsets, is the reason for an older version of Android. These devices codenamed Pschye and Poussin are said to feature a Qualcomm SM8250-based silicon. The exact name of the chip is rumored to be Snapdragon 870+.

Since all the previous SM8250-based phones came out with Android 11, Xiaomi appears to be doing the same with these forthcoming handsets. By doing so, the company will not have to develop an additional version of Android for these smartphones after Android 12.

Having said that, the reason stated here is merely an assumption. However, the phones will most likely launch with MIUI 13 based on Android 11 as their software builds are already in the testing phase.

As far as other details are concerned, the Xiaomi 12X (Psyche) is expected to be the long-rumored mini smartphone with a 6.28-inch display and a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN5 primary camera. On the other hand, the Redmi K50 (Poussin) will be similar to the Redmi K40 with a 48MP Sony IMX582 main camera.

It was reported last week that Xiaomi may hold a launch event on Dec. 12 in China to announce the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X flagship phones. Fresh information reveals that the Chinese manufacturer may announce the Xiaomi 12X lineup by the end of December. Last year, Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi Mi 11 5G in December to become the first brand to launch a Snapdragon 888 SoC powered phone. A reliable tipster claimed that this year Xiaomi will not unveil the first Snapdragon 8 Gen1 flagship phone.

A screenshot of an internal document of Xiaomi China seems to have appeared on Weibo. It shows that the company will be holding a press conference on Dec. 28 to announce a new product. This indicates that the rumored Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X may go official on Dec. 28.

Even tipster Digital Chat Station has claimed that Xiaomi’s product launch conference is scheduled for the end of next month. He added that there is a probability that Xiaomi may not be the first brand to launch Snapdragon 8 Gen1 powered phone. This suggests that the Moto Edge X featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 may go official before the Xiaomi 12 lineup.

Reports have revealed that the Xiaomi 12X will be driven by the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform, whereas the Xiaomi 12 will be equipped with Qualcomm’s new flagship SoC. Both models are expected to arrive with a curved edge AMOLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The Xiaomi 12X is expected to house a 6.28-inch display.

The Xiaomi 12X may feature a 20-megapixel selfie snapper. Both models are likely to house a 50-megapixel main camera on the back. The 12X may house a 5,000mAh battery with 67W rapid charging and 33W fast charging. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12 may carry support for 100W rapid charging.

According to MyDrivers, the tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that the Xiaomi 12X will be announced along with the Xiaomi 12 on Dec. 12 in the home market. The former is expected to feature the Snapdragon 870 chipset, whereas the latter could be one of the first phones to arrive with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform.

Past reports have revealed that the Xiaomi 12X may feature a 6.28-inch display that offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It could be equipped with an AMOLED panel, which will be integrated with an in-screen fingerprint scanner.
