Xiaomi will introduce three new flagships, the 12S Ultra, 12S Pro, and 12S, all of which are known to have been co-engineered using Leica photographic technology after the company announced its strategic alliance with Leica last month.
The 12S Ultra is described in the firm’s Weibo post as the “new height of mobile imaging,” the 12S Pro as the “new flagship standard,” and the normal 12S as a small-sized flagship. The company hasn’t released much details about its specs sheet as of yet.
The image in the same page provides a preview of how the 12S series would appear from the back, with protruding camera modules of various sizes. Perhaps the biggest one is the 12S Ultra, which has a green leather finish and a golden frame accent. In the middle are the 12 Pro, which is wearing a black color, and the 12S, which is sporting a white hue.
On July 4, 2022, at 7 p.m. (Philippine time), Xiaomi will host an online event for the debut of their 12S Series products on their social media platforms.
