Xiaomi 12 Camera and Display Specs Leaked; Invisible Under-Display Camera in the Cards

Faisal Rasool

Xiaomi 12 is Xiaomi’s big flagship for this year. It’s been popping up in leaks over the past few weeks. The official launch is still a month away. But industry sources have already published the camera layout and specs for the Xiaomi Mi 11's upcoming successor.


Digital Chat Station, a reputable industry analyst based in China, tweeted an image showcasing the Xiaomi 12 camera. It’s a slightly redesigned setup featuring three lenses and two LED clusters. The leading camera here has a 50MP sensor behind it. Ultra-wide and periscope lenses have also been upgraded.

The phone leaker further noted that Xiaomi is trimming the resolution from 1440P QHD+ down to standard 1080P. Also, save for the re-arranged cameras, the Xiaomi 12 has the same design as last year’s Mi 11. 

We’ll be looking at a hole-punched screen surrounded by razor-thin bezels. The panel measures 6.7-6.8” across. The fingerprint scanner on Xiaomi's brand new model still hides under this display, but it’s improved and effective over a larger area. 

It’s also worth mentioning that some conflicting reports point to an invisible under-display camera solution for the Xiaomi 12. The Mi MIX 4 that debuted a few months ago adopted this cutting-edge tech.

As always, Xiaomi’s flagship phone will serve as the launchpad for the latest-and-greatest flagship chip from Qualcomm. The Xiaomi 12 will be the first Android to feature the upcoming Snapdragon 898 platform. Xiaomi is also almost doubling the charging speeds this year — from 55W to 100W.
