Although Motorola snatched the start of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the rhythm of Xiaomi's new product release is not chaotic, and if the media forecast is accurate, the Xiaomi 12 series will arrive at the end of this month. About the Xiaomi 12 series, there have been many revelations recently, the most concerned of which is undoubtedly the Ultra version, after all, this year's Xiaomi 11 Ultra series has pushed the Xiaomi mobile phone to the high-end with its outstanding imaging capabilities, so everyone looks forward to what the next "Android Light" will be.
We started from a protective case that was reported on Weibo a few days ago that was said to be the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra. As you can see in the image above, although we can't see anything more with the housing alone, the huge rear camera module is still impressive. Judging from the number of punches, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra's camera should be no less than four.
According to this exposure map, foreign media LetsGoDigital specially made a rendering of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra, so that we have a more intuitive impression of it. According to the rendering, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra has a huge circular mod and is placed on a rectangular bump. This camera module is designed to accommodate four cameras, which means one more than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.
Let's take a look at which types of these cameras are included. According to foreign media speculation, the largest camera in the middle is a wide-angle main camera, using 5000 play pixels and the new Samsung GN5 image sensor, which improves the autofocus function of the Dual Pixel Pro. Considering that the previous generation used Samsung GN2 sensors, it is not surprising that the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra uses the latest generation of Samsung super-bottom sensors, just curious about what kind of height the imaging quality of this main camera will reach.
Like the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, the other three cameras should also be the main camera level. Two of them are 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle and periscope telephoto lenses. If the Mi 11 Ultra's zoom capability is continued, it will support 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom, and 120x digital zoom.
As for the fourth lens, the details are unknown, but it may be possible to adopt the strategy of huawei black and white cameras to improve the detail and purity of the picture.
Finally, there is a visible microphone on the camera module that is capable of recording clear, noise-free sound clips during video recording. We can even venture to guess that it supports 8K video recording. Of course, some advanced video features will also be supported, such as OIS to make video recording more stable.
In addition, on the rendering, the designer also placed a classic logo of Leica, this is because in May this year, Huawei's partnership with Leica ended, and Xiaomi is rumored to have begun to cooperate with German lens manufacturers, of course, whether it is Leica is still unknown.
In other aspects, the information that is now revealed includes that the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra will be equipped with a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen, with QHD+ resolution, supporting 120Hz refresh rate; the front camera is still designed for digging holes, although the Xiaomi MIX 4 already supports the off-screen camera technology, but the dismal sales of Xiaomi have to carefully consider it; of course, there are hardware configurations such as Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Harman Karton sound, IP68 waterproof and dustproof, 120W fast charge, etc.
Judging from the performance of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, the Ultra version does live up to the name of the top flagship. But the question is, will the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra continue its glory, and do you need such a powerful mobile phone with strong imaging capabilities?
