Xiaomi showcased and launched their latest flagship series, the Xiaomi 12S in China yesterday. The main flagship device is the Xiaomi 12S Ultra which comes with some seriously impressive specifications, especially in the camera department. The phone gets a massive camera module with Xiaomi using a new Sony IMX989 sensor, which is one inch in size and was co-developed with Leica, the German camera-maker.
However, it seems that the highly anticipated series will be limited to the Chinese market for the time being. Tech enthusiasts can try to get their hands on the device by importing it from one of the vendors but that is very risky as an endeavour and something that we cannot recommend.
This is a little surprising, given that Xiaomi streamed the event on its global YouTube channel. There is a chance that the Xiaomi 12S Ultra could come to other markets, but with a different name or number line.
