Xiaomi is expected to roll out the drums on August 11 in China to launch a number of products as part o activities to mark its 10th anniversary. One of the products, as confirmed by CEO Lei Jun, is the Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition which will bear the moniker Mi 10 Ultra on the global turf.

Ahead of the launch, several details have emerged in quick succession regarding the features the special edition model will pack. Perhaps, the most interesting of all the details we came across the one by tipster Ice Universe that the Mi 10 Ultra will shock the world, without specifying why. A second leakster ross Young then added under the same tweet that the device will come with an under-display camera.

However, don’t go rejoicing Mi fans that you’ll soon lay your hands on an under-screen camera-packing Mi phone as the source also added that the production volume for the model will be very small. That is attributed to the phone being more of a demo product than one intended to be commercialized. Anyway, this contradicts Lei Jun’s promise of making plenty of units available.

It will likely be the first phone with an under panel camera. But volume will be (shockingly) small…:) Mostly a demo product from what I hear.

A separate leak also suggests that Xiaomi will release two versions of the Mi 10 Ultra. One will come with a ceramic panel while a second variant will have a transparent back panel. The leak also shows that the version with a ceramic back panel which should be the base variant will come in 8GB+256GB and 12GB+256 GB configurations. On the other hand, the model with a transparent back panel will be available in 12GB+256 GB and 16GB+512GB options.

Other topnotch features the epoch marking flagship is expected to bring with it includes an improved vapor chamber cooling, HiRes audio with a custom algorithm, next-gen FP reader and a periscope lens.

The Mi 10 Ultra is expected to feature an AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate support. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 865+ chipset with a customizable GPU. It is also expected to pack a 4,500 mAh battery with 100 or 120 W fast wired charging and 55 W wireless charging.
