On the first day of construction after the Spring Festival, Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing could not wait to warm up the Redmi K50 series again, and it is expected that the first model, Redmi K50 Esports Edition, will be released around February 15, and K50/K50 Pro/K50 Pro+ will meet with us in March.
The Redmi K50 series focuses on the ultimate cost performance, in order to control the cost, it is certainly impossible to do a perfect job in terms of configuration, such as the image performance that everyone values now. Xiaomi released the Xiaomi Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra in 2020 and 2021 respectively, showing the "image ceiling" of Xiaomi mobile phones. Now Xiaomi aims to become a leader in the high-end market, and this year will certainly continue to release new oversized cup models.
Some media believe that the next generation of super cup will not be named Xiaomi 12 Ultra, because Xiaomi may have renamed Xiaomi 12 Ultra to Xiaomi MIX 5, and the original MIX5 was changed to MIX 5 Pro. Personally, I think this possibility is not high, and the positioning of the Xiaomi digital series and the MIX series is different.
Judging from the configuration of Xiaomi 11 Ultra and Xiaomi MIX4, the former focuses on extreme images, while the latter continues to explore the full-screen form and is equipped with off-screen camera technology. Therefore, in the first half of the year, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra is still sitting, and it will not change its name, and in the second half of the year, it will be the turn of the Xiaomi MIX5 to perform.
According to foreign media reports, Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be one of the strongest imaging flagship machines in 2022, with a rear 50-megapixel Samsung GN2 main camera + 48 million pixel telephoto (supporting 5 times the optics not only) + 48 million pixel ultra-wide-angle lens + 48 million pixel auxiliary lens, and will also be equipped with Xiaomi's self-developed ISP chip - the surging C2 processor.
More importantly, Xiaomi will follow the example of the cooperation between OnePlus and Hasselblad, and for the first time join hands with Huawei's partner Leica to tune and polish a more perfect imaging system, beat huawei P50 Pro to the top of Dxomark, and become the "camera phone ceiling".
In terms of screen, Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra has no room for upgrades, equipped with the same 2K resolution + 120Hz refresh rate of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro in the middle of the digging screen. The battery capacity is 4860mAh, support 120W wired + 50W wireless dual fast charging.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra was released at the end of March last year, so Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra is also expected to be released at the end of March or early April, as for the price, it will definitely exceed 5000 yuan, or the probability of 5999 yuan is higher.
On February 8, Lei Jun announced that Xiaomi held the first important meeting in the beginning of the Year of the Tiger: the high-end strategy seminar, at which Lei Jun announced a new goal: within three years, Xiaomi will win the first place in the domestic high-end mobile phone market share, and resolutely implement the "5 years 100 billion" research and development plan. Lei Jun also reiterated what he said before the release of the Xiaomi 12 series: "Xiaomi should fully benchmark the iPhone."
Snapdragon 8+2K LTPO screen + Dxomark first image system, how much do you think Xiaomi 12 Ultra sells, in order to "benchmark iPhone13"?
