As a reminder, both the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro launched already, in China. Those two phones are expected to become official globally on March 15. The Xiaomi 12 Ultra will likely launch at a later date.

The ‘Ultra’ model is probably coming at a later date

There is a chance that the ‘Ultra’ model will arrive alongside the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro, globally, but that’s not likely. All rumors are pointing towards a later release, though still in H1 this year.

The Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro can’t really surprise us at this point. They’ll be quite similar to their Chinese counterparts, though we’ll get different software on top of Android 12, of course.

Both phones offer thin bezels, and a centered display camera hole. Both devices have curved displays, by the way, and three rear-facing cameras. An in-display fingerprint scanner is included in both devices.

The Xiaomi 12 includes a 6.28-inch fullHD+ 120Hz OLED display. The ‘Pro’ model has a larger, 6.73-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 fuels both smartphones.

Both devices are available in both 8GB and 12GB RAM variants in China, but it remains to be seen if all those models will launch globally. You can also expect to get stereo speakers on both smartphones.

Both the Xiaomi 12 & 12 Pro support 50W wireless charging

The Xiaomi 12 includes 50, 13, and 5-megapixel cameras. The ‘Pro’ model has a more powerful camera setup with three 50-megapixel cameras on the back. 67W wired charging is supported on the regular model, while 120W charging comes with the Xiaomi 12 Pro. Both devices also support 50W wireless charging.
