Let's explore this phone in the following article!

Note: As there are currently no leaked images of Xiaomi 12S, we will use images of Xiaomi 12 to illustrate the article.

Xiaomi 12S concept features a sleek and elegant design

Xiaomi 12S, being a premium smartphone, naturally boasts a sophisticated and elegant appearance. As the launch date approaches, more information about Xiaomi 12S is emerging, with its design capturing special attention from tech enthusiasts. Recently, Gizchina leaked details about the exterior of Xiaomi 12S. Let's explore how the device might look!

From leaked images, we can see that Xiaomi 12S will have a design language similar to its two 'older siblings,' Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro. The back panel is crafted from glass, accompanied by a gently curved frame, providing users with a comfortable and ergonomic feel during usage. Moreover, Xiaomi 12S will maintain the distinctive rear camera setup with three lenses neatly arranged in a rectangular frame and the characteristic grid lines seen in the Xiaomi 12 series. This promises to give Xiaomi 12S a highly distinctive and somewhat familiar appearance!

In terms of display, we anticipate that Xiaomi 12S will feature a hole-punch design with an AMOLED panel, a 6.67-inch screen size, and Full HD+ resolution, similar to the previous Xiaomi 12 series devices.

Considering the previous generation had excellent display features and delivered high-quality visuals with vibrant colors and high color accuracy, personally, I hope Xiaomi 12S maintains the screen specifications while significantly upgrading the hardware. The reason is that too many upgrades on a device could potentially increase the device's price, making it less accessible to users.

Xiaomi 12S impresses with the most powerful Qualcomm processor

As an upgraded version of Xiaomi 12, it's evident that Xiaomi 12S will see improvements in its hardware. Compared to the standard version using Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, I expect Xiaomi 12S to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, Qualcomm's newest and most powerful chip as of the current moment.

Briefly, this processor is the Plus version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 with many upgraded features to address issues faced by its predecessor, notably overheating. Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is an 8-core chip manufactured on an advanced 4nm process, promising to deliver powerful performance for handling various light and heavy tasks on Xiaomi 12S.

In the Xiaomi 12S version, I hope Xiaomi continues to offer two RAM options, 8 GB or 12 GB, ensuring smooth performance even during high-config tasks like gaming. Additionally, I hope Xiaomi 12S comes with internal storage options of 128 GB or 256 GB, similar to the standard version, providing users with ample storage space for personal use.

Next up is a topic that often piques people's curiosity when exploring a particular mobile device—the battery. Personally, I hope Xiaomi 12S will be powered by a 5,000 mAh battery. This capacity is an upgrade from Xiaomi 12 and aligns with the current market standard for smartphones. Additionally, I hope Xiaomi 12S also features 67W fast charging, similar to the Xiaomi 12 generation.

The predecessors of Xiaomi 12S already boasted long-lasting battery life, providing users with a seamless experience. Therefore, if Xiaomi 12S upgrades to a 5,000 mAh battery, it would be a significant plus for the device!

I'll summarize the entire configuration of Xiaomi 12S based on the leaked information up to the current moment below for easy understanding:

• Display: 6.67-inch size, AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate.
• CPU: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
• RAM: 8 GB or 12 GB.
• Internal Storage: 128 GB.
• Rear Camera: 50 MP + 2 MP + 2 MP resolution.
• Selfie Camera: 16 MP resolution.
• Battery: 4,500 mAh, supports 67W fast charging.

What is the reasonable price for Xiaomi 12S? When will Xiaomi 12S be launched?

Xiaomi 12S is expected to debut in the Chinese market on June 20th. Unfortunately, information regarding the price of Xiaomi 12S has not been disclosed yet. Based on my expectations for an upgraded version of Xiaomi 12, it's likely that the device will be priced around 18 - 20 million VND for the standard version. Note that this is just my speculation, so stay tuned for the Xiaomi 12S launch event to get the accurate pricing details!
