Another week down, and as far as the greats go, that’s it. Just at the right time, Xiaomi presented the 12S series with Xiaomi 12S, 12S Pro and the highly anticipated 12S Ultra.
We will start with the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, as it was one of the most read devices on our website. It ultimately broke the 1-inch type barrier on a phone with the Sony IMX989. The behemoth sensor is about 30% larger than the 1 / 1.12 “sensor of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, which itself was already the largest imager on a smartphone.
The new main camera can rely on Leica’s photographic experience. There are two photographic styles on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra: Leica Authentic and Leica Vivid, as the names suggest, one is a muted look, while the other is a more common and punchy look and HDR.
The other two rear cameras are a 5x telephoto lens and a 13mm ultrawide with AF and macro.
Xiaomi 12S Ultra has a 4,860mAh battery with 67W charging and a 6.73-inch AMOLED E5 with variable refresh rate of 120Hz.
Processing is done by the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. The same chip is at the helm of the Xiaomi 12S and 12S Pro. Those two have a 50MP, 1 / 1.28 “main camera. It’s the same IMX707 sensor as the 12 and 12 Pro, however, all three S-series models have been “co-engineered with Leica”.
Unfortunately, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra will be exclusive to China, so we only have the other two members of the series to look at in Western markets.
Asus has launched ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro. The latest gaming phones carry a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the Pro offers up to 18GB of RAM. Both phones share a 6.78-inch 1080x2448px with 165Hz with a touch bonkers sampling rate of up to 720Hz. The camera department also received an upgrade with a 50MP Sony IMX766 main shooter alongside a 13MP ultrawide module and 5MP macro cam. The selfie shooter is now a 12MP Sony IMX663.
ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro still use a 6,000mAh battery split into two 3,000mAh cells, and you get two USB-C ports – one on the bottom and another on the side. Wired charging is still limited to 65W, just like the ROG Phone 5 series. The software front is covered by Android 12 with ROG UI and Zen UI.
ROG Phone 6 with its 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will retail for € 999 / £ 899 in Europe and INR 71,999 in India, while the top-of-the-line ROG Phone 6 Pro with 18GB of RAM and 512GB of storage will retail for € 1,299 / £ 1,099 and INR 89,999 respectively.
