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.

We are only halfway through 2021, however, Xiaomi has already released a bunch of smartphones. According to new findings, the second half of this year will be no different for the company. The Chinese handset maker may launch at least 13 new devices in H2 2021.

Xiaomi smartphones run MIUI. In fact, the company’s mobile operating system was its product and not phone. Whenever the company is set to release new handsets, MIUI adds support for them.

Hence, the codenames and even certain specs of these unreleased devices leak via MIUI source code. That’s what has happened now.

As per the findings by Xaiomiui, the Chinese tech giant will be soon launching the following 13 new devices.

Out of the above-listed 13 devices, the MIUI code also reveals the specs of the below-mentioned 6 models.

From the specifications, it is interesting to see that Xiaomi may release multiple devices with an under-display camera. Interestingly, the products with this implementation will only feature a 90Hz display.

Lastly, Xiaomiui does not call these 13 products smartphones. We think that’s because some or one of them could be a tablet. The company is expected to release three high-end tablets. Anyway, their codenames and certain features are already known. But we cannot rule out the possibility of budget models.

Having said that, we expect to learn more about these upcoming Xiaomi group (Mi, Redmi, POCO) devices before their official launch.
