The upcoming Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be a flagship showcase of what Xiaomi and Leica can build together. However, the phone is expected in July, just a couple of months after the partnership announced – how much can we expect from the camera?
Rumors claim that the 12 Ultra will mostly use the same camera hardware as the Mi 11 Ultra. That means a 50MP main camera (with OIS, possibly with a new sensor), a 48MP 5x telephoto module and a 48MP ultra wide-angle camera. Leakster Yogesh Brar confirms this with a list of expected specs for the new Ultra.
There will be an extra component here, a 3D ToF sensor. The selfie camera is expected to be the same 20MP module as last year’s Ultra. The display panel appears to be taken from the Xiaomi 12 Pro instead of the Mi 11 Ultra: a 6.7 “AMOLED LTPO panel with QHD + resolution and 120Hz refresh rate (the old Ultra had a 6.81” non-LTPO panel) .

The phone will be upgraded to the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and will come with 8/12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256/512 GB of UFS 3.1 memory, according to the leakster. The phone will run MIUI 13 out of the box (based on Android 12).
Finally, the electrical system: a 4,800mAh battery with 67W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. This year’s Pro model boasts 120W wired charging and some rumors say the Ultra will do too, but there is contradictory information.
These alleged specifications leave out some details. For example, will the Xiaomi 12 Ultra have a secondary display on the back? It’s unclear, but we’ve heard it will embrace the Leica branding with a leather texture on the back and the red Leica logo icon. While it might be a special edition, speculative renders show a glossy finish. Neither does the rear display.
