What might we get from Xiaomi’s next flagship phone?
Why you can trust Pocket-lint (Pocket-lint) – Xiaomi’s launch cycles have been really aggressive recently, with multiple versions of each series of devices – the next expected to be the Xiaomi 12. You’ll notice that there’s no « Mi » name in there. To clean things up, Xiaomi has dropped the Mi branding, with the Mix 4 being the first device to use the new naming convention. We some way from the Xiaomi 12 being launched, but here’s everything we’ve heard, everything that’s leaked and everything you need to know. Xiaomi 12 release date and price December 2021 confirmation March 2022 global launch likely There’s been no official word on when the Xiaomi 12 might launch, but a pattern is emerging. Xiaomi normally confirms its next-gen device at the same time as Qualcomm makes its announcement of the latest Snapdragon hardware. In the past few years, this has seen Xiaomi announce its next device at Snapdragon Summit, held in December. That’s likely to see official news surface early December 2021. Launch in China is often first – for the Mi 11 that was 28 December 2020. In previous years, Xiaomi has then used the February Mobile World Congress for a global launch – with availability around March. We’d expect the Mi 12 launch to be the same: we’re expecting confirmation at Snapdragon Summit and launch soon after in China. There’s no word on pricing, but usually the Mi 11 comes in with a price around £/€799, leaving the space for the Pro and Ultra above this. We’d expect the Xiaomi 12 to be similar. squirrel_widget_4145310 Design and build There have been no design leaks for the Xiaomi 12, so anything we say about the design would be pure guesswork.
