As per the reportes, Xiaomi 12S Ultra might arrive with a QHD+ AMOLED display supported by 120Hz refresh rate and an LTPO panel. It is expected to rely on the new Snapdragon 8 Gen+ 1 chipset paired with 12GB RAM and offer 512GB storage. The battery power is speculated to be 4800mAh supported by 67W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.

On the camera front, Xiaomi 12S Ultra is expected to pack a triple rear camera setup of a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and a 48-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. Additionally, Xiaomi's partnership with Leica will enhance the photography performance of the handset. The detailed spec sheet of the Xiaomi 12S series smartphones is yet to be released.
