In turn, the group Xiaomi can boast of taking advantage of the optimizations of a photo specialist for the sensors of its smartphones. The partnership with Leica should enable it to reinforce the qualities of this feature, which is still in high demand by the public.
the Xiaomi 12S Ultra is an opportunity to apply this expertise with the integration of a 1 inch main photo sensor represented by the module Sony IMX989.
These novelties are highlighted in the huge photo block on the back of the smartphone which places the main sensor of 50 megapixels in the center and surrounds it with two other modules (two Sony IMX585), a 48 megapixel ultra wide angle and one 48 megapixel periscope zoom capable of hybrid zoom allowing magnification up to x120.
The main sensor is associated with a 8 element lens (against 5 to 6 elements usually) for better visual quality. Leica filters can provide an additional identity while the management of the 10-bit RAW format will give you plenty of time to edit the shots.
A very high technical sheet except for fast charging
The Xiaomi 12S Ultra gets a 6.73-inch AMOLED QHD+ display with dynamic refresh 120Hz and maximum brightness of 1500 nit while on board we will find a SoC Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with cooling system to remove heat efficiently.
The SoC provides 5G compatibility and support for WiFi 6E wireless connectivity, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC… Note that the shell is certified IP68 and therefore protected against splashes, short immersions and dust infiltration.
The smartphone also embeds the dedicated Surge P1 chips for fast charging (still 67W wired and 50W wireless, with 10W reverse wireless charging) of the 4680 mAh battery and Surge G1 for battery management.
The Xiaomi 12S Ultra runs on Android 12 with the overlay MIUI 13 and is offered in several versions depending on the memory configuration:
- Xiaomi 12S Ultra 8 / 256 GB: 5999 yuan (around €860)
- Xiaomi 12S Ultra 12 / 256 GB: 6499 yuan (around €930)
- Xiaomi 12S Ultra 12512GB: 6999 yuan (around €1000)
This promises high prices and pulling towards ultra premium for international versions.
