Xiaomi 12 will be the last smartphone that the company will launch by the end of the year, so as to close it with a “bang”: the latest on features and launch
Xiaomi 12 is coming, there is no longer any doubt. The “top” Chinese – it has been said for some time – will arrive in December, and on the subject has returned in recent hours Digital Chat Station, which in addition to providing fairly precise information on the presentation also wanted to give some “advice” to those who will be undecided between the recent Xiaomi Mix 4 and Xiaomi 12.
The latter will focus in particular on the power of Snapdragon 898 and on cameras and screen, while the first will keep for itself the exclusive front camera under the screen and the ceramic construction. After all, it would have made little sense to have a Xiaomi 12 almost overlapping with the Mix 4, a product that has cost the company so much in terms of research and development and that would run the risk of being cannibalized a few months after launch by the Xiaomi 12. So the two will have different peculiarities and will both have “sense” of existence when they will coexist within the range.
Xiaomi 12, when it arrives
The launch date of Xiaomi 12 is closely linked to that of the next flagship chip from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 898. The Chinese top of the range in fact will be one of the first products ever – in all likelihood exactly the first – to have the best chip that the American company will have in its range in 2022, so it will arrive shortly after the presentation of the Snapdragon 898.
On the subject in recent hours we have had confirmation from Qualcomm itself: the chip will be presented during the Tech Summit 2021 event to be held between November 30 and December 2, and almost certainly the Snapdragon 898 will be revealed on the first day, November 30. Consequently, Xiaomi 12 will be presented in China in the very first days of December, with the exact date coming out in the next few days.
Xiaomi 12, what it will look like
So if on the chip that will equip Xiaomi 12 there are no doubts, someone exists on its technical characteristics, although over time more than a few have emerged. As we said, the main focus of Xiaomi 12 will be display and cameras.
The smartphone is expected with an AMOLED screen with very high resolution, it is said 2K (1440p), of which we do not yet know the diagonal (but it will have almost invisible black bezels, with a tiny hole for the selfie camera), and with a configuration to three rear cameras: the main 50 MP, probably an Isocell GN5 sensor from Samsung, an ultra wide angle and a telephoto lens that should offer a 5x optical zoom.
Xiaomi 12 will certainly boast industry-leading wired fast-charging technology, with peak power of 100 or maybe 120 watts, as on the Xiaomi Mix 4. We’ll have to figure out what the Xiaomi 12’s list price will be when it arrives in Europe, probably in the first part of 2022, but we expect a few more rumors to make their way through the doubts in the coming days anticipating something about pricing.
