Last month, Xiaomi announced its partnership with Leica for an imaging-centric flagship, which was expected in July. It appears that the imaging flagship is the Xiaomi 12S series, which will launch on July 4. The company recently announced that it will launch the new Xiaomi 12S series both in China and globally. Here are the details.
Xiaomi has revealed that the Xiaomi 12S series will launch globally at 7 pm GMT+8 (4:30 pm IST). The China time is also 7 pm. The series will consist of three smartphones called the Xiaomi 12S, the Xiaomi 12S Pro, and the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. All three phones will come with Leica-backed cameras, which will be a first for the company.

There could also be a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 or a Dimensity 9000+ variant of the Xiaomi 12S Pro or the Xiaomi 12S Ultra but nothing is concrete as of now. A recent leak suggested that the Xiaomi 12S series will support up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The Xiaomi 12S Pro might come with support for 120W fast charging but there’s no word on the details regarding the other two phones.
