Xiaomi put an end to a myriad of leaks and reports and announced the Xiaomi 12 series with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset late last year. In addition, the company is also rumored to be working on Xiaomi 12 Ultra, which has also leaked in the past. Now, a new leak about the device has surfaced, suggesting that Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be powered by the unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ SoC. The leak says that it will offer decent improvements over the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.
The latest leak comes from the reputable Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station. The tipster recently took to Weibo to report that the Xiaomi L2S (model number 2206122SC), which was previously spotted on the IMEI database as the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ SoC, which has the model number SM8475.
Furthermore, it is revealed that the chipset will be developed using TSMC’s latest 4nm architecture, unlike the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset (model number SM8450) that is based on Samsung LSI’s 4nm process.
