Of these models, the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X are small smartphones with a 6.2-inch display. The body width of these smartphones isĀ 69.9mm, which is narrower than the iPhone 13 and Xiaomi Mi 6. They are small flagships that can be held with one hand. However, a new report now claims that a Xiaomi 12 mini is on the way.
According to reports, the Xiaomi 12 mini is even smaller than the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X. The display of this smartphone is less than 6-inches and it may be Android’s smallest screen model in recent times. According to the report, the Xiaomi 12 mini will come with a triple rear camera setup. This smartphone also comes with three flashes.Ā The overall design is significantly different from the Xiaomi 12 series, and it should be a redesigned brand new model.
Unfortunately, there is no more information regarding this smartphone. TheĀ basic configuration is still unclear, but due to the size problem, it should not be able to carry a flagship processor with a stronger configuration. It may only have the specifications of the Snapdragon 870 at most.
While Apple is running away from the small mini model, Xiaomi is running into it. The Chinese manufacturer has confidence in small models because of the performance of the Xiaomi Mi 6.
