Ahead of the launch of the smartphone outside China, Xiaomi 12 was spotted on Geekbench, with the latest flagship Snapdragon chipset and 8GB of RAM. Xiaomi 12 was also spotted running on Android 12 on the Geekbench listing, like its Chinese counterpart. The company launched Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 12X in China on December 28, 2021.

Meanwhile, tipster Digital Chat Station shared details of the upcoming Xiaomi 12 Ultra on Weibo. The Chinese company launched both Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro last month, but its Xiaomi 12 Ultra smartphone was not launched at the event. The smartphone is expected to launch later this year, sporting a large camera module, according to the tipster, who posted a rough sketch of the rear camera module as a reply to the post. The sketch shows a centre-aligned camera module, that could resemble Vivo’s rumoured X80 series smartphone, which is also said to sport a similar left-aligned camera module, according to the tipster.
According to recent reports, Xiaomi 12 Ultra will feature a quad camera setup, with a powerful periscope telephoto sensor. The smartphone is tipped to launch around February, after the Chinese Spring festival. Tipster Digital Chat Station previously revealed that Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be the first Chinese smartphone to feature a high optical zoom lens — the closest competitor of the upcoming Xiaomi 12 will be the recently launched OnePlus 10 Pro, which features a 3.3x optical zoom. An older report from December also shows Xiaomi 12 Ultra sporting a large centre-aligned camera layout.
