Besides the Xiaomi 12 lineup, the Chinese smartphone maker will also launch the next iteration of the MIUI, the MIUI 13 version on December 28.

Xiaomi 12 Series: Specifications, Features

The Xiaomi 12 handset will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, as confirmed by Xiaomi earlier. As per the past leaks, the device will sport a 6.2-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution. The handset may launch in 6GB/8GB and 12GB RAM options along with up to 128GB/256GB of internal storage. Considering that Xiaomi is launching the MIUI 13 based on Android 12 at the same event, we can expect the Xiaomi 12 to boot Android 12 out of the box.

In terms of imaging, the handset will sport a triple-camera setup. The device is tipped to pack a 4500mAh battery which will offer 67W fast charging support, as per the 3C certification. Apart from wired fast charging, the handset will also have wireless charging support.

As far as the specifications of the Xiaomi 12X go, the device is rumoured to feature a 6.28-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution. The display panel might have up to 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10 support. The Xiaomi 12X is reported to feature a 50MP primary camera just like that of the Xiaomi 12. Similar to the Xiaomi 12, the Xiaomi 12X may offer 67W fast charging support. The Xiaomi 12 is also rumoured to feature an in-display fingerprint scanner and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Alongside the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12X, and the Xiaomi 12 Pro, the company is also rumored to introduce the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, Xiaomi 12 Lite, and Xiaomi 12 Lite Zoom. However, no concrete evidence regarding these three handsets is revealed as of now. That being said, we may only get to see the launch of the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12X and the Xiaomi 12 Pro at the December 28 event.

As previously mentioned, Xiaomi will be also launching the MIUI 13 on December 28. The company’s upcoming MIUI 13 software version will be based on Android 12 and it will offer features such as Virtual RAM, floating game window, an updated control centre design, newer icons, animations, and advanced privacy and security.
