Reports have revealed Xiaomi is working on a couple of new flagship phones, such as the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi 12S Pro, Xiaomi 12S Pro Dimensity Edition, and Xiaomi MIX Fold 2. Reports have claimed that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will launch at the beginning of July. Today, the company rolled out an official confirmation that the Xiaomi 12S series will be announced on July 4.
The above poster confirms that the Xiaomi 12S series launch event will be held at 7 PM (local time) on July 4. The poster does not reveal many things about the Xiaomi 12S lineup. However, it does carry the Leica branding and the silhouette of a camera lens. So, it looks like the Xiaomi 12S phones will be the first ones the company makes with Leica’s camera improvements.
The launch event will be held one day before ASUS’ ROG Phone 6 series launch, which is scheduled to take place on July 5. So, it looks like the Xiaomi 12S series will be the first phone in the world to have the flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.
The Xiaomi 12S lineup reportedly includes three models, such as the Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi 12S Pro, and Xiaomi 12S Pro Dimensity 9000 Edition. It is unclear whether the highly anticipated Xiaomi 12 Ultra flagship will also debut at the same event. The 3C certifications have revealed that the Xiaomi 12S and 12S Pro Dimensity Edition may carry 67W fast charging support. The 12S Pro could be equipped with 120W rapid charging.
The Xiaomi 12S and 12S Pro are expected to arrive as enhanced versions of the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro, which were announced in December 2021. The Xiaomi 12S is likely to debut as a compact flagship, while the 12S Pro could be a larger device. Both phones are expected to feature a triple camera unit.
