According to reports so far, Xiaomi will hold a launch event on December 28th where it will release the Xiaomi 12 series. According to Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun, the Xiaomi 12 series will be the first smartphone to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 flagship SoC. Recently, a new appearance render of the Xiaomi 12 appeared online. The front of this device has a hyperboloid screen with convergent curvature and black borders. The rear camera arrangement is similar to the previous Redmi K30s with a large and two small sensors.
The AG frosted rear shell is very similar to that of Xiaomi Civi. In fact, its rear camera design also feels similar to the Xiaomi Civi. The Civi’s sensor is just smaller with a few design changes. Xiaomi will announce the Xiaomi 12X, Xiaomi 12, and Xiaomi 12 Pro at the same launch event. The use of a new processing technology makes the look and feel of the AG glass body premium.
The Pro model will come with a 2K large screen + 100W fast charge + 5x ultra-telephoto. In addition, MIUI 13 has been tested internally on the Xiaomi 12 series phones, and the internal feedback is good. While the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen1, the Xiaomi 12X will use the Snapdragon 870 SoC. The Xiaomi 12X will also come with a 6.3-inch straight screen design.

Xiaomi 12 series other speculations
On the software end, the Xiaomi 12 series will arrive with MIUI 13 out-of-the-box. Recently, when Lei Jun communicated with netizens, he said that MIUI is making every effort to improve and will definitely do better. According to Lei Jun, “MIUI 13 will arrive at the end of the year and he hopes it will meet everyone’s expectations. Obviously, the MIUI 13 will also debut at the December 28th event.
This new flagship will come with an LTPO adaptive refresh rate screen. This feature will realize an adaptive refresh rate adjustment function between 1 – 120Hz. This feature will also bring an automatic adjustment of the display. This means that when a user activates a high-demanding game, the refresh rate of the display automatically sets to 120Hz. However, when the user is on a social app, it reduces the refresh rate significantly. This will ultimately help in the power consumption of the device.
Furthermore, it will use a high-quality screen that adopts a slightly curved design. These devices will come with batteries between 4700mAh battery and a 5000mAh battery. We also expect the 120W fast charging to surface on this series. However, there should also be 50W wireless fast charging. The large battery will get a full charge within 20 minutes and this will be a new record.
