Xiaomi’s flagship smartphone Xiaomi 12 Pro was released at the end of 2021 in China and the same phone debuted globally in March 2022. The phone was also launched in India in April. Now it looks like the company is working on a successor to the device, which is expected to bring some additional upgrades to the device.
According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo (via MyDrivers), a well-known whistleblower on the Chinese social media platform, Xiaomi is ready to release a follow-up to Xiaomi 12 Pro in the second half of the year, and the device will most likely be called Xiaomi 12S Pro. He also shared some expected specifications of the device.
Xiaomi 12S Pro specifications leaked
According to the source of the leak, the Xiaomi 12S Pro will come with an upgraded Snapdragon flagship chipset. The 12S Pro is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus SoC, which is expected to be announced in China at a Qualcomm event on May 20. The new chipset will be based on TSMC’s 4nm process.
In addition, the Weibo post from Digital Chat Station also states that there will be a flagship phone with a small screen, Full HD+ resolution and a very convenient size. This could mean that the company is also planning to release a follow-up to Xiaomi 12 or 12X, if not both. The Xiaomi 12 and 12X feature a smaller 6.28-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. While the vanilla Xiaomi 12 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, the 12X is powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset.
