According to the specs sheet, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be powered by the latest offering from Qualcomm; the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. 

The smartphone will offer 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM paired with 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. The phone will not have a dedicated slot for MicroSD cards but an additional slot for the nano-SIM card has been added. The device also supports the 5G network. 

The 12 Ultra will possibly feature a gigantic 6.7” QHD+ AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz resolution. The LTPO technology has been used on the mobile for better battery life and smooth refresh rates. The display will likely be curved and there will be a punch-hole cutout. The device is also expected to have the newest Corning Gorilla Glass protection. 

In the camera department, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is expected to feature a triple camera module at the back. There will be a 50MP primary camera leading the charge along with a 48MP ultrawide lens and a 48MP telephoto lens with 5X zoom. The camera is also expected to feature a ToF sensor and a laser autofocus sensor. 

Finally, the 12 Ultra is supposedly coming with a 4,800 mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. The device will probably feature a USB Type-C port for wired charging with 50W support. And this is expected to be one of the most expensive Xiaomi smartphones ever.

Reliable tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer has collaborated with Zouton to share the CAD renders of the much-awaited Xiaomi 12 Ultra. According to the leak, the Xiaomi flagship measures around 161.9 x 74.3 x 9.5mm. So, in terms of dimensions, it is a bit smaller and thicker than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, which measures 164.3 x 74.6 x 8.4mm.

It has a curved edge AMOLED display on the front with a punch-hole placed at the top-centre position. It may house a 6.6-inch display, which is smaller than the 6.73-inch AMOLED screen available on the Xiaomi 12 Pro.

Gone is the secondary display from the backside of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. The round-shaped camera housing has as many as eight holes, which may house a triple or quadruple-camera unit. The Leica logo, born out of the Xiaomi-Leica partnership, can be seen next to the camera module. Around the edges, the 12 Ultra features dual speakers, a SIM slot, an IR blaster, microphones, and a USB-C port.

Rumors have it that the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset will be powering the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. It is expected to support Quad HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will come equipped with a 5,000mAh battery that carries support for 120W fast charging. It is also expected to support wireless charging.

The post Xiaomi 12 Ultra CAD renders emerge, here’s the first look at the actual design appeared first on TechGoing.

The video doesn’t share any details about this upcoming Xiaomi smartphone, but speculation indicates this will the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. There have been several leaks in the past few months that pointed toward the Leica and Xiaomi partnership. So, it is safe to assume that the device in question is Xiaomi 12 Ultra. 

As for the video, it is more about the collaboration itself. The video points out the collaborative research and development between these two companies that includes three engineers from Leica in the Beijing facility of Xiaomi. The video also raises expectations for the upcoming flagship. It said the smartphone will come with high-resolution lenses and new sensors that will provide high dynamic ranges. 

At the moment, it is difficult to understand the state of the collaboration between these two giants. But it will be interesting for sure. Previously, Leica was partnered with Huawei, and the latter was known for the best smartphone cameras in the market during this partnership. However, the Leica/Huawei partnership ended on 31st March and it seems, Xiaomi is willing to take its place. On the other hand, people were also very excited about the OnePlus/Hasselblad partnership, but that hasn’t created any tangible results so far.   

Xiaomi 12 Ultra specs (rumored)

Of course, Xiaomi didn’t share any official details on this new flagship but according to the latest post from the tip from the Digital Chat Station, the new device will feature a camera lens with a 12 – 120mm focal length. It will also have a 120X zoom and f/1.95-4.1 aperture. 

This is mostly similar to Xiaomi’s previous flagship, the Mi 11 Ultra. That device also had a 48MP main camera that had 12mm of coverage. And the 120mm coverage area indicates the ultra-wide lens. The only difference is the main camera, which is said to be a 50MP Sony IMX800 lens, instead of the 50MP Samsung GN2 sensor.  But the news on this new collaboration does indicate that the new Xiaomi 12 Ultra flagship will come up with something better and exciting, at least in the camera segment. 

Besides the camera, the flagship is also expected to carry the latest Qualcomm flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

The code references a slew of devices utilizing an unannounced chipset with an SM8475 part number, which stands for Snapdragon 8 Gen1+. The 5 codenamed devices in the list can be traced back to 6 marketing names of Xiaomi’s upcoming phones: Xiaomi 12 Ultra (codename – thor), Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 (codename – zizhan), Xiaomi 12S (codename – diting), Xiaomi 12S Pro (codename – unicorn), and Xiaomi 12T Pro/Redmi K50S Pro (codename – mayfly). With so many phones sporting it, Xiaomi may turn out to be the biggest customer of Qualcomm’s latest chipset for the year 2022.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ specifications

As Qualcomm’s chipset could be an overclocked version of the existing Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, it is anybody’s guess that any phone featuring it would be a flagship device. All the hype with this Gen 1+ chipset over the Gen 1 chipset, is about the switch it makes from using Samsung’s 4nm fabrication process to using TSMC’s 4nm process, which promises to address most of the shortcomings of the former process.

This switch could translate into higher yields, better power efficiency and lower thermal throttling, calling for better prospects for Android phone manufacturers. The chipset is expected to use a “1+3+4” three-cluster architecture that would have 1x super-large Cortex X2 core, 3x large Cortex A710 cores, and 4x small Cortex A510 cores. The SoC is also tipped to include the Adreno 730 graphics.

The Xiaomi 12 Ultra could be one of the first SD8G1+ phones to launch in the market. It is likely to go official either this month or in June.

Xiaomi’s flagship line always has a rich taste, the company does this by providing a highly speced variant to battle the competition. Over the years they have stuck to this tradition and this year the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will carry on from where its predecessors left off. Similarly to the Mi11 Ultra launched last year, this year’s Ultra model will use the best Android chip available in the semiconductor market. From leaked images and specs, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will have very impressive specs and a unique design, as did the Mi11 Ultra.

Currently, the available flagship processor from Qualcomm is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. But we know that Qualcomm is working on a maxed-out version of the 8 Gen 1 processor. This maxed-out version is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ and leakers expect this to be the processor that will be in the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. If this expectation comes to reality, then Xiaomi will be one of the first Android smartphone manufacturing companies to use this chipset. This will mean an improvement in camera abilities, gaming power, and efficiency, hence placing this device at the top of the pecking order in the Android smartphone hierarchy.

Xiaomi 12 Ultra to feature a Leica branded camera

From exposed image renderings of the 12 Ultra, we can confirm the presence of a large camera module! This module is even larger than that seen on the Mi11 Ultra. It has a circular design and triple camera setup alongside a few other sensors on the camera island. From leaked specs, this device will have the main camera, a super-telephoto lens, and a periscope lens. This camera setup will support OIS and 5x optical zoom, with a capacity of up to 100x zoom. Xiaomi will co-design the camera lens on this device with Leica, so we can expect a bit of Huawei finish to the imagery it produces.

The launch date and actual specs of this device remain unknown. Taking the launch date of the Mi11 Ultra into consideration, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra might just be behind schedule.
