Xiaomi 12S Ultra

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra might have what it takes to be one of the best camera phones of 2022. Read on to learn more about Xiaomi's latest flagship.

On the software front, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra runs MIUI 13 based on Android 12. Lastly, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra packs a 4,860mAh battery which features support for 67W wired fast charging, 50W wireless fast charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging. In addition to the hardware improvements, Xiaomi has also packed a couple of new software goodies to enhance camera performance. Xiaomi has developed the camera system for its latest flagship in partnership with Leica, and it consists of a 50.3MP Sony IMX989 primary sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide camera, and a 48MP periscope zoom telephoto camera. The new chipset is a massive upgrade over the Snapdragon 888 on the Mi 11 Ultra, so you can expect to see significant performance gains in all scenarios. That phone is now finally here, but it’s part of the new Xiaomi 12S series.

Xiaomi also introduced two new laptops called the Xiaomi Book Pro in 16 and 14-inch screen options. It also introduced a Xiaomi Band Pro 7 which is the ...

Xiaomi 12S comes with a 6.28-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Xiaomi 12S and Xiaomi 12S Pro along with the Xiaomi 12S Ultra were launched at the event. It also introduced a Xiaomi Band Pro 7 which is the company’s fitness tracker.

Xiaomi's new flagship smartphone the Mi 12S Ultra has a 1-inch image sensor on its main camera, among the biggest you can find in a smartphone.

In addition to the 12S Ultra, Xiaomi is also introducing two lower-end models: the 12S and 12S Pro. Those two phones have a main camera sensor with a 1/1.28-inch size, which is smaller than the Ultra but still bigger than the typical smartphone sensor. The phone is also supposed to be the first Android device capable of shooting in Dolby Vision HDR. The larger size allows the sensor to gather more light and capture more detailed images. It has IP68 water and dust resistance, a large 4,860 mAh battery, 67W wired fast charging, and a 120Hz refresh rate display. The 12S has a smaller 6.28-inch 120Hz display, while the 12S Pro has a 6.73-inch 120Hz OLED display, like the Ultra. Both get the same Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip. Everything about Xiaomi’s new flagship smartphone, the Mi 12S Ultra, is big.

Xiaomi just revealed three new top-end phones during its latest big launch event, including the Xiaomi 12S, 12S Pro, and its new flagship 12S Ultra.

There’s a 4,500mAh battery inside the 12S with 67W fast-charging and 50W wireless charging. The 12S Pro features better battery specs with a 4,600mAh cell and 120W fast charging alongside the same 50W wireless charging. The 12S Ultra and 12S Pro both feature the same 6.73-inch 1440 x 3200 AMOLED displays with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR 10+ support. On the 12S Pro, you’ll find three 50MP cameras using the Sony IMX707 with a primary camera, a portrait shooter with 2x zoom, and an ultra-wide angle. For the rest of the series, the 12S uses a Sony IMX707 sensor with a 50MP primary camera, a 13MP ultra-wide, and a 5MP macro camera. Alongside the 50MP primary camera, the 12S Ultra features a 48MP ultra-wide camera with a 128-degree field of view and a powerful 48MP telephoto camera capable of up to 120x zoom.

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra brings a brand new 1-inch camera sensor with Leica optics, plus a large beautiful display. We go hands-on with it!

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra’s main camera system consists of three cameras, headlined by a new 50MP Sony IMX989 camera with a 1-inch sensor with a Leica lens. There’s a lot more about the Xiaomi 12S Ultra I haven’t covered, including video recording, Leica portrait shooting modes, battery life (and whether the two proprietary chips help efficiency) as well as gaming and other general phone use. Keep in mind that I have not had enough time to really push the cameras yet, but these samples should give an early idea of how the Xiaomi 12S cameras fare. One concern I had with such a large sensor was that the camera would consistently blow out lights, which Samsung and Apple flagships are prone to do from time to time (and those sensors are small compared to the 12S Ultra’s). Whether it’s the Leica optical lenses or Xiaomi’s software algorithms, images keep a good balance. So we know the Xiaomi 12S Ultra at least has better thermals (but more importantly, a processor that does not heat as much). If we move to proper low light shots, like the below set at a park at night, we can see the superiority in Xiaomi’s shot: less noise, sharper details, and better illuminated all around. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra comes in three configurations: The Periscope zoom lens is still offering a 5X optical zoom range, but from early testing, it looks much improved over last year’s Mi 11 Ultra zoom lenses. This will be needed, because the 12S Ultra actually packs a smaller battery than last year’s Mi 11 Ultra, at 4,860 mAh. The reason is that I knew the Xiaomi 12 Pro wasn’t Xiaomi’s best offering, that there was going to be an Ultra device eventually that would be Xiaomi’s true alpha dog phone. I’ve only had about eleven hours with the phone at the time of writing this, so this is by no means a complete review. The Xiaomi 12 Pro that came out four months ago was a very good 2022 Android flagship that got a good reception on just about every tech site, including this one.

The auxilary camera parameters are similar to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra with a pair of half-inch sensors for the focusing ultrawide and periscope zoom cameras. But ...

Powering the Xiaomi 12S Ultra is the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Unfortunately, Xiaomi has confirmed that it's not going to be available outside China, where the phone is CNY 5,999 for the 8/256GB, CNY 6,499 for the 12/256GB, and CNY 6999 for the 12/512GB. Leica is bringing its imaging expertise to the Xiaomi 12S Ultra both in terms of the optics design, and the imaging software. On the video side, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra is the first Android phone to support Dolby Vision HDR recording. The auxilary camera parameters are similar to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra with a pair of half-inch sensors for the focusing ultrawide and periscope zoom cameras. The other two cameras on the back of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra carry over the trusty 48MP Sony IMX586 1/2.0-inch sensor, used in the Mi 11 Ultra. The ultrawide is a 13mm f/2.2 with autofocus and macro abilities. It started with the Huawei P20 Pro's 40mm² sensor. It comes in Classic Black and Verdant Green with a Leather-like rear finish. The telephoto camera has a 120mm f/4.1 periscope. Additionally, there are Leica filters - Leica Vivid, Leica Natural, Leica BW Natural, and Leica BW High Contrast. The 50.3MP 23mm wide-angle camera pioneers Sony's flagship 1-inch IMX989 sensor. Xiaomi's new flagship Ultra is finally here.

The Xiaomi Book Pro 2022 edition comes with two variants, a 14-inch one and a 16-inch one. The Xiaomi 12S Pro comes with a larger 6.73-inch 2K AMOLED panel and will also come with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. The Xiaomi Band 7 Pro comes with a 1.64-inch rectangular display, making it look pretty much like an entry-level smartwatch. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and also features up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. There is a 50MP triple camera setup and a 13MP front camera, along with a 4500mAh battery and 67W fast charging. The highlight of the Xiaomi 12S series is the Leica partnership.

The front camera is 32MP on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. The other 48MP camera is the ultra-wide one with a 128-degree field of view and a 7MP lens. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra sports a leather-like back, though it claims the material is more durable than traditional leather. Xiaomi’s latest flagship in India was the 12 Pro, introduced at a starting price of Rs 62,999. On the camera front, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra gets a 50MP+ 48MP+48MP combination. There’s still a chance that the Xiaomi 12S Ultra could come to other markets, but with a different name or number line. The most expensive version is the 12GB+512GB, which will cost CNY 6,999 or nearly Rs 82,000 plus on conversion. For now, all we know is that the Xiaomi 12S Ultra is unlikely to be made available in India and other markets. The phone gets a massive camera module with Xiaomi using a new Sony IMX989 sensor, which is one inch in size. The main camera is the 50MP Sony IMX 989 sensor which is one inch in size and comes with optical image stabilisation (OIS). This comes with an 8P aspherical lens, which includes an IR light filter, and anti-glare lens coating as well. It comes with 1500 nits of peak brightness and has a 360-degree ambient light sensor as well. This was first reported by Android Central, and Xiaomi PR teams also confirmed to us that this would be the case.

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra has the world's largest smartphone camera: a 50-megapixel 1-inch sensor behind a 13mm f/1.9 Leica lens.

Sony attempted something similar with its Xperia Pro-I earlier this year, but due to size constraints was unable to use the full size of the sensor like Xiaomi was able to here. Xiaomi says the 12S Ultra has also been designed to be more friendly to photographers in post production, and it captures photos in 10-bit RAW format calibrated by Adobe Labs with color correction metadata embedded directly into the files. At the core of the Xiaomi Surge Battery Management System, is a 4,860mAh single-cell silicon-oxygen anode battery and Xiaomi Surge P1 fast-charging chipset, which the company says also supports up to a 16A output current with 96.8% conversion efficiency. - The “Leica Authentic Look” pursues a natural imagery for which Leica is known. Additionally, it features Xiaomi’s image stabilization HyberOIS which the company says provides ultra-stable performance and continuous compensation for movement during video recording. The lens supposedly mitigates flare, ghosting, and chromatic aberration.

Unsurprisingly, third-party retailers like TradingShenzhen are already offering the Xiaomi 12S series. Not only has the company gone on the record with Android Authority about the matter, but it has also subsequently stressed where it intends to sell the likes of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra in a global press release. In fact, the statement below goes further, adding that yesterday's global presentation was 'for informational purposes only'.
