According to information released from Xiaomi's next flagship, the 12 Ultra, it looks like this phone will be very powerful in terms of technical specifications and quite affordable in terms of price.



According to reports on global smartphone sales last year, Xiaomi was the third largest smartphone maker, after Samsung and Apple. But it looks like the Chinese company wants to increase its market share over the next few years, especially in the high-end handsets segment, which all companies are focusing on these days. Therefore, we expect the company to pay more attention to the Mix series phones and flagships that are numbered.


Xiaomi 12 Ultra

Like last year, Xiaomi plans to launch its most powerful flagship with the Ultra extension. This is likely to happen in mid or late 2022, which we do not know exactly. We only know that we have to see its unveiling in the second half of this year, and the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will definitely be available in the global market. All this while we have already heard that the long-awaited Xiaomi dealership will be released in the spring.


There is not much news about the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, because there is a lot of time left until the unveiling of this phone, and of course, the available information can not be trusted much unless it is published from reliable news sources. So far, the reliable information about this product is that Xiaomi apparently wants to equip this phone with a Snapdragon 8 generation 1 Plus chip. A chip that is manufactured by TSMC, unlike the standard model. It is also said that Qualcomm's new chip will perform better in terms of energy consumption than the standard model, but this statement can not be believed without careful testing.




Apart from all this, it seems that Xiaomi wants to shift its focus to photography and videography. This time we will see the presence of a periscope camera with 5x optical zoom capability. Of course, flagships like the Galaxy S21 Ultra and S22‌ Ultra these days also have 10x optical zoom capability, so we can not say that with 5x zoom, the May 12 Ultra has broken a record. Unless we find out later that, like Samsung representatives, another telephoto lens is used in this phone, which seems unlikely because in this case, the cost of making the phone will increase a lot.


Even now, you might think that the price of this phone has reached more than $ 1,000, but this is not the case. Xiaomi plans to launch the product in China for $ 940. In the global market, too, it will most likely sell for $ 1,000. Adding another telephoto camera will increase the price of this phone to more than $ 1,000, and it will neutralize the effect that Xiaomi wants to have on users at a low price.

Leaving aside the discussion of specifications and price, we come to the name of the company's expected flagship, which is rumored to be named Xiaomi 12U in abbreviated form. Apparently, the company's policy of reducing the length of its flagship names was not satisfactory, which Xiaomi now wants to shorten. It is alleged that one of the company's employees addressed the long-awaited Xiaomi flagship during an interview. The same person talked a few weeks ago about a powerful flagship codenamed Big Cup XL and said that this phone will be unveiled soon, which may be the Xiaomi 12 Ultra.


Name reduction is a really good policy. Currently, for example, there are a series of Xiaomi phones that have very long names. For example, May 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition or Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition. Meanwhile, the Chinese company decided to name the Redmi K50 gaming model only Redmi K50 gaming.


For now, our information about the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will remain the same to see what more news will be released about it.
