There are few whispers running around Xiaomi's new flagship smartphone for 2022 and it goes by the name of Xiaomi Mi 12. Xiaomi Mi 12 is the younger sibling of Xiaomi Mi 11.

Usually, an upcoming smartphone would have a lot of buzz by now but surprisingly there are only limited leaks about Xiaomi Mi 12. Maybe, it could be the case that Xiaomi is keeping a tight lid on their upcoming flagship. The news may not be enough but whatever the news that is running around is definitely exciting.

Xiaomi Mi 12 Review and Release

Release date of the Xiaomi Mi 12

Xiaomi has a very bizarre approach for release dates and the best example for this is the Mi 11. The Mi 11 was initially launched only in China in December 2020. They took time until February 2021 for a global relaunch and another month until it went on sale. And, this time there is a feeling that it won't be any different for Mi 12 either.

There is no exact leak about the release but from what we know it can be said that there is a strong chance that it is likely to be released in early 2022.

Price of the Xiaomi Mi 12

A price has not been fixed for this flagship yet as it is still in the making. However, we can get a rough idea about the price by using the Mi 11 as a benchmark. The Mi 11 was priced at GBP 749 / AU$1,099 / $1,040. This pricing roughly falls in line with the Samsung Galaxy S21 and the OnePlus 9. There is a possibility that Xiaomi might align the Mi 12 according to the above prices with few minor fluctuations.

Camera

There is a rumor going around that Xiaomi is planning to take the camera performance to a whole new level. Xiaomi is planning to introduce a 192MP or even 200MP main camera. Speaking of the main camera, a punch-hole cut can be expected for the main camera similar to its predecessors.

Performance and charging capabilities

In terms of raw speed and stellar performance, the next version of Qualcomm's premium chipset line, the Snapdragon 895 can be expected.

Amidst all these hypes Xiaomi has introduced a new charging tech called the Xiaomi HyperCharge. This piece of tech offers 200W wired charging and 120W wireless charging. This kind of raw charging power is enough to fully charge a 4000mAH battery in just 8 minutes with wired charging or within 15 minutes if it is wireless charging. Still, Xiaomi hasn't fully confirmed whether this charging tech will be available to Xiaomi Mi 12, but there is a chance that it might be available to this flagship or any of its other successors. Xiaomi HyperCharge can be expected to make its grand entry around June 2022, which could mean that it is too late for Mi 12 to have this feature.
