What will Xiaomi announce at the 12 series launch?
In China, there are three phones in the range – the Xiaomi 12, the Xiaomi 12 Pro and the Xiaomi 12X, with rumours of a Xiaomi 12 Ultra possibly coming as well
Both the 12 and 12 Pro boast that flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, whilst the Pro model features three 50Mp cameras. We should also find out the full global pricing and release dates for the phones at this event.
Leaks have also suggested that we may see the 12 Lite, 12 Mini, and 12X Pro eventually, but we doubt that these will be unveiled at this launch event.
